the timed entry by the tablet into power saving modes. Go to

Is there an advised practice for charging the tablet battery packs?
The battery packs are constructed with Lithium-ion cells. There is no memory effect and you can charge these
batteries at your convenience without waiting for them to drain completely and without affecting the capacity of the
cells. However, it is still advisable to charge only when needed to conserve the number of charge/discharge cycles
for the battery packs since such cycles will affect the useful life of the batteries.
Can I charge or power the 7375 from a vehicle power outlet?
Yes. There are optional kits comprising a power cord and a DC-DC adapter to feed and charge the tablet from
vehicle power outlets.
NOTE:
Refer to the power adapter label specifications if the vehicle power outlet is not 12V.
I have acquired an optional external battery pack; what should I know and how should I make optimal use
of it?
The external battery pack has a capacity exceeding that of the internal battery pack. It adds about 4 hours of usage
time to the 2.5 hours of the internal battery. The custom housing readily snaps on and off the rear of the 7375. It is
also designed to be
hot-swappable
with the system which means that one does not need to power off the tablet prior
to detaching or attaching the battery pack.
How can I charge the external battery pack?
The external battery pack can be charged as part of the 7375 with the AC-DC adapter connected directly or through
the cradle. Alternatively, the external battery pack may be charged with an optional external battery charging kit
and an AC-DC adapter.
NOTE:
When both are connected to the 7375, the external and internal battery packs are charged simultaneously.
What is the best way to store a tablet for travel or transport to conserve battery life?
If you properly save tablet configuration settings (
Control Panel > Registries Save/Restore
) and user data (
My
Computer > Storage Card
(and sub-folders)) for persistence (as needed) over power cycling, you can perform a
full power shutdown on the tablet. For this purpose, engage and hold the Suspend button for over 4 seconds until
the display and LEDs go dark. There should no further power drain from the battery. A brief push of the Suspend
button should revive the system with an un-depleted battery pack for immediate mobile use.
Applications
The 7375 display goes dark while I am playing media content or downloading my email messages. The
power to the 7375 is adequate. What happened?
The tablet may have entered Suspend mode, depending on how the power savings scheme has been set up. In the
7375, the “idle” definition refers to no user input (screen taps, mouse clicks, etc.) – having only network activity
may also be construed as being “idle”. Therefore it is possible for the tablet to enter power savings modes while
you are playing or downloading content. To avoid complications or confusion, you could consider setting very
long delays (or “Never”) from the scheduling menus in the
Control Panel > Power > Schemes
window.
