38 Motion Computing LE1600 and LS800 Tablet PC User Guide
1. If the Tablet PC is running, put the Tablet PC in Stand By mode.
(You can set the Power switch to automatically enable Stand By
mode by using Power panel > Power Buttons > Stand By). The
Tablet PC immediately goes into the Stand By state.
2. Alternatively, go to Start > Turn Off Computer.
3. Do one of the following:
• If you are logged on to a domain: When the Turn Off
Computer window appears, tap Stand By or Hibernate
from the drop-down list.
• If you are not logged on to a domain: Press the Shift key
on your external keyboard or tap Shift on the TIP on-
screen keyboard to change the option from Stand By to
Hibernate.
NOTE: Here are some key differences between putting the
Tablet PC in Stand By or Hibernate mode to swap the
battery:
• If you choose Stand By, the Tablet PC is designed to
maintain your system for up to 30 seconds while you
swap the battery.
• However, you may have less than 30 seconds if you are
running a number of programs that drain power faster.
• You should save any data before putting the system in
Stand By to swap the battery.
• Choosing Hibernate gives you more time to swap the
battery. Hibernate saves the status of the Tablet PC to
your hard drive.
4. Tap Hibernate or Stand By. The Tablet PC opens a dialog box
stating that it is “preparing to standby or hibernate.”
5. Wait until the system shuts down. In Hibernate, all LEDs are off; in
Stand By, the Power LED flashes.
6. Slide the battery release latches on the back of the Tablet PC toward
the center and lift the battery upward to remove it.
7. Insert the new battery until you hear the left latch click, which
ensures the new battery is correctly seated. Slide the right latch fur-
ther to the right to lock it in place. Check to make sure the latches
are fully seated.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the Tablet PC, install
only Motion Computing batteries, which are specially
designed for the Tablet PC.
Disposing of Used Batteries. The Tablet PC contains a Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
battery that should be disposed of at a hazardous materials recycling center
when it is no longer serviceable. Do not throw it in a waste receptacle where
it will be sent to a landfill.
