Caring for the Tablet PC battery
To maximize battery performance, condition the battery once a month. To condition it, run
the Tablet PC on battery power until the battery’s charge level drops below 20%. Then use
AC power until it’s fully charged.
You’ll receive a message if the Tablet PC detects that the battery needs conditioning.
For more information about the battery, see Using the battery on page 50.
Traveling with your J3600 Tablet PC
Follow these tips when you travel with your J3600 Tablet PC:
• Put the tablet PC in a case to protect the display. Motion Computing sells a variety of
cases for the J3600. You can purchase one at the Motion Computing Accessories page.
• Store the pen in the pen bay located on the right side of the tablet.
• Pack the Tablet PC securely in a briefcase or hand-carried luggage and keep it separate
from toiletries, liquids, and food. Don’t pack it in checked luggage.
• Adjust the power properties to maximize battery conservation before extended use in
the field or long periods of time away from AC power. See Changing the power plan on
page 55.
• For international travel, use the appropriate adapters for your destination’s electrical
outlets. You don’t need to buy a voltage converter; the Motion AC adapter will
automatically adjust to different voltages.
• You may want to carry proof of ownership or a merchandise passport when traveling
internationally.
• Consult your insurance and credit card companies to learn about emergency travel
assistance in case your tablet PC becomes lost or disabled.
• Don’t carry your Tablet PC through a metal detector.
• Turn off the tablet PC or place it in Hibernation mode for airplane takeoff and landing.

OTE: The FAA requires that you suspend Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile broadband connections
before boarding a plane. You can disable them all at once. To disable the wireless devices,
open Motion Dashboard
, tap the Wireless tab, and clear the checkbox next to each of the
wireless devices listed.
DANGER: Don’t transport Li-ion batteries in checked baggage. The baggage hold can get
very hot, which can cause the Li-ion battery to overheat and result in an explosion. You can
take up to two spare batteries in carry-on luggage, in addition to the one in the unit.
Transporting batteries in checked baggage or transporting more than two spare batteries is
a violation of federal transportation regulations.
