Battery Working with the workstation
A26391-K115-Z120-2-7619 31
Charging the battery
The battery indicator displays the remaining battery charge (see the section "Indicators"). When you
switch on the workstation, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is displayed.
You can charge the battery by connecting the workstation to the power adapter (see "Connecting
the power adapter and switching on the workstation").
The battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and max. 35°C.
With the workstation switched on and off, the battery will completely recharge in approximately three
to four hours.
Work in the battery mode until an acoustic warning prompts you to recharge and the battery
indicator begins to flash. The workstation battery should not be charged before this point.
If you do not connect the power adapter within five minutes of the signals described above, your
workstation automatically switches itself off.
Monitoring charging time
The remaining battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the status indicator panel (see
the section "Indicators"). When you switch on the workstation, it takes a few seconds before the
battery status is displayed.
During mobile operation you can also use a "battery charge meter" for energy-saving monitoring
under Windows.
A battery icon is shown in the taskbar. When you position the cursor on the battery icon, the battery
charge level is displayed with a blue status bar. This blue bar progressively decreases as the battery
discharges.
