Battery Charging Time Charging Time AC Adapter Vehicle Adapter System ON System OFF System ON System OFF Note:

Use only the AC adapter designed for the device. BRKF3A 3~5 hours 3~5 hours For safety purpose, charging will stop if the internal temperature of the battery is out of range (<10C; >45C). Please note that charging could have stopped before the ambient temperature reaching these boundaries because the internal temperature of the battery does not equal to the ambient temperature. Optional Multi Battery Charger (MCRK) A Multi Battery Charger is designed for the battery of RK15, that is able to charge 2 batteries at once. Chapter Three - 23 Managing Power Battery Recalibration Battery recalibration allows a user to calibrate the GAUGE IC parameter of the battery pack. When the battery stays fully charged or in a low charge state for a long period of time, it causes the battery gauge to have some minor discrepancies. Therefore, users are recommended to carry out battery recalibration to ensure the accuracy of battery GAUGE IC. To perform battery recalibration, please follow the steps below:

1. Update BIOS & EC to the latest version. 2. Mount the battery to the device, and connect it to the AC Adapter. 3. Enter the BIOS Choose Advanced menu Choose Battery Recalibration Press Enter. 4. When the Start Battery Recalibration pop-up appears, press Yes to continue. 5. The recalibration is now processing. You can see the following recalibration status on the screen:

- Calibration Frequency: How many times the calibration is processed

Battery Capacity: Current battery capacity Battery Charge Mode: Charge/ Discharge Battery Learning Mode: Normal (charge)/ Learn (discharge) 6. A pop-up appears when the calibration has completed. Then, click OK. 7. Press Yes to reboot the device when Reset Without Saving pop-up appears. Note Neither turn off the LCD nor the remove AC adapter during the calibration. Each cycle of recalibration process indicates Charge to Full Start Learn Mode Discharge Complete Learn Mode Charge to Full. It will take approx. eight hours to complete a cycle. It requires five cycles to complete the battery recalibration. Then the recalibration will stop automatically. If you want to terminate the calibration, simply shut down the device by pressing the Power Button; or, restart the device via the external keyboard by pressing

"CTRL+ALT+DEL". Chapter Three - 24 Managing Power Battery Shut Down Mode The battery is designed with Shutdown Mode and it will automatically enter this mode to prolong its storage time and to avoid itself from over-discharging. Shutdown Mode will be activated under the below two situations. When the battery itself is not in use for over 15 days When the device with batteries is OFF. The battery in Shutdown Mode may sustain for approximately 180 days. To deactivate Shutdown Mode, please connect battery to the device and then to the AC Adapter. The charge indicator lights orange means the deactivation of Shutdown Mode has completed. Battery Storage Recommendations Battery power will decrease gradually in storage. Self-discharge rate of rechargeable batteries is approximately 1% per day; however, this rate may vary according to the storage environment. High humidity and high temperature accelerate discharge, while very low temperature may freeze the battery chemicals thus decrease the capacity. The following are guidelines for battery maintenance:

The battery should be removed if the device will not be used for a long period of time

(approximately one month). The battery should have 50% charge remaining before it is removed from the device and be stored separately. The battery should be recharged to 50% according to the different storage temperatures below so to prevent from damages because of over-discharging. Storage Temperature Battery Charging Frequency

-20C ~ +20C

-20C ~ +45C

-20C ~ +60C Every 6 months Every 3 months Every month The battery without using for more than 2 years may result in battery aging and it is not recommended to use. Chapter Three - 25 Chapter Four BIOS Setup BIOS Setup Caution:
