Notes Pulse repetition rate: 57.67 Hz Scan angle: 360 tilt; 60 pitch; 60 skew 32 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Managing Power Your Tablet PC operates either on external AC power or on internal battery power. This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the proper way. 33 AC Adapter CAUTION:
The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. The AC power cord supplied with your Tablet PC is for use in the country where you purchased your Tablet PC. If you plan to go overseas with the Tablet PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the Tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or Tablet PC. When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord. The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC
(Direct Current) power because your Tablet PC runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power. The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100 V 240 V AC. 34 35 Battery Pack Your Tablet PC has two battery packs. The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. CAUTION: Always keep both battery packs installed, especially when the Tablet PC is running on battery power. A battery pack can be removed only when it is not being charged/discharged or if you are hot-swapping the battery pack. Charging the Battery Pack NOTE:
Charging will not start if the batterys temperature is outside the allowed range, which is between 0 C (32 F) and 50 C (122 F). Once the batterys temperature meets the requirements, charging automatically resumes. During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise, you will get a prematurely charged battery. The battery has a high temperature protection mechanism which limits the maximum charge of the battery to 80% of its total capacity in the event of high temperature conditions. In such conditions, the battery will be regarded as fully charged at 80% capacity. The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge process, even when the battery pack is fully charged. This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the Tablet PC. To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an electrical outlet. The Battery Indicator (
) on the Tablet PC glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the Tablet PC power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green. 36 The two battery packs are charged in parallel. The charging time is approximately 5 hours (for the standard battery packs) and 6 hours (for the high-
capacity battery packs) when the power is off. CAUTION: After the Tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage the battery. Initializing the Battery Pack You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours. The G-Manager program provides a tool called Battery Recalibration for the purpose. (See ! in Chapter 6.) Checking the Battery Level NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the Tablet PC. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the Tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. The two battery packs are discharged in parallel. 37 By Operating System You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, tap the battery icon on the taskbar. By Gas Gauge On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the estimated battery charge. Push-button When the battery pack is not installed in the Tablet PC and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the push-button to see the number of LEDs that light up. Each LED represents 20% charge. Battery Low Signals and Actions The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery. Battery Icon Battery Level Description Discharging The icon shows the charge remaining in 10-
percent increments until the charge reaches the low-battery level. 38 Battery Icon Battery Level Description Low The battery charge has reached the low-
battery level. Critically The battery charge has reached the critical low battery level. By default, Windows will display a notification and put your Tablet PC into Hibernation. When the battery is low, the Tablet PCs Battery Indicator (
) also blinks red to alert you to take actions. Always respond to low-battery by connecting the AC adapter, placing your Tablet PC in Hibernation mode, or turning off the Tablet PC. Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION:
There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the Tablet PC manufacturers battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealers instructions. 39 Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. A battery pack can get hot due to long working hours. Do not touch a hot battery pack with bare hands. After removing a battery pack, put it in a well-ventilated area. NOTE:
You can hot swap one battery pack while the other one is supplying the power. The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack is between
-21C (-5.8 F) and 45 C (113 F). If you have the high-capacity battery model, the battery pack looks different from the one shown here. The removal/installation method is the same. To replace the battery pack, follow these steps:
1. Skip this step if you are hot swapping the battery pack. Turn off the Tablet PC and disconnect the AC adapter. After turning off the Tablet PC, allow a cool-down time of at least 5 minutes before removing the battery pack. 2. Locate the battery pack you want to remove. 3. Slide the battery latch toward the right () and then upwards () to release the battery pack. 4. Remove the battery pack from its compartment. 40 5. Fit another battery pack into place. With the battery pack correctly oriented, attach its connector side to the battery compartment at an angle () and then press down the other side (). 6. Slide the battery latch toward the locked position (
). CAUTION: Make sure the battery latch is correctly locked, not revealing the underneath red part. Correct Incorrect (revealing red part) 41 42 Power-Saving Tips Aside from enabling your Tablet PCs power saving mode, you can do your part to maximize the batterys operating time by following these suggestions. Do not disable Power Management. Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level. Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display. When not using a connected device, disconnect it. Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module (such as WLAN, Bluetooth, or WWAN). Turn off the Tablet PC when you are not using it. 43 Appendix A Specifications NOTE: Specifications are subject to change without any prior notice. CPU Parts Specifications 13th Gen platform

The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal. About the AC Adapter Use only the AC adapter supplied with your computer. Use of another type of AC adapter will result in malfunction and/or danger. If a ground/earth pin attachment plug on the AC power cord is provided, always plug the cord into a grounded/earthed outlet. Do not disable ground/earth pin of the plug/cord. Do not use the adapter in a high moisture environment. Never touch the adapter when your hands or feet are wet. Allow adequate ventilation around the adapter when using it to operate the device or charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with paper or other objects that will reduce cooling. Do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case. Connect the adapter to a proper power source. The voltage requirements are found on the product case and/or packaging. Do not use the adapter if the cord becomes damaged. Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace the unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture. 52 Heat Related Concerns Your device may become very warm during normal use. It complies with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standards for Safety. Still, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. To reduce potential heat-related concerns, follow these guidelines:
Keep your device and its AC adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Allow for adequate air circulation under and around the device. Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with your device or its AC adapter when its operating or connected to a power source. For example, dont sleep with your device or its AC adapter, or place it under a blanket or pillow, and avoid contact between your body and your device when the AC adapter is connected to a power source. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body. If your device is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the temperature may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the device for a long time, for example if you rest the device on your lap, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury. If your device is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable work surface. Never place your device or AC adapter on furniture or any other surface that might be marred by exposure to heat since the base of your device and the surface of the AC adaptor may increase in temperature during normal use. 53 North America USA Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement NOTE:
