• Your netBook is powered by a powerful Lithium Ion battery

pack which under normal operating conditions will provide

power for 8½ hours use. (See Prolonging battery life).

• The netBook can be powered from the mains adaptor.

When the netBook is powered this way, it will also charge

the battery pack. The netBook should be connected to the

mains adaptor as soon as you start getting the low battery

message.

• If you have a docking station, this is a convenient way to

connect to the mains adapter to charge the batteries.

• If using your netBook for extended periods when you are

unable to use mains power, it’s best to keep two battery

packs. Contact your Psion distributor for details.

• Backup power is provided by a lithium coin cell. This

provides power when the main battery pack is being changed

and will only provide a few days backup.

Backup Batteries recommended by Psion:

Duracell DL2032, Hitachi Maxell CR2032, Panasonic CR2032, Sony

CR2032, Ultralife CR2032, Varta CR2032.

How do I check the battery power?

To check the battery power, move to the System screen and select

Battery from the Information menu.
