Motion Computing LE1600 and LS800 Tablet PC User Guide 39
Helpful Hints: Battery and Power Management
• Use AC power when available to lengthen the battery’s usable life. The
battery will charge automatically as you run on AC power, so leave the
battery in the Tablet PC while you are working.
• Use AC power when installing software or writing to a CD, and for opti-
mal battery life, when using a CD or DVD player.
• When using battery power, if you leave the Tablet PC unattended, place
the system in Stand By or Hibernate.
• Keep in mind that the display, processor, PC Cards, SD cards, wireless
cards, and accessory drives all draw on the battery, so adjust properties
and disable unused accessories and PC Cards when operating on bat-
tery power.
• When using battery power, adjust the power mode and display bright-
ness to lower settings to prolong the battery life.
• Turn off all wireless devices through the Motion Dashboard when not
being used.
• Enable the Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) through Motion Dashboard.
See the section “Adjusting Display Settings and Screen Brightness” on
page 28.
