Chapter Three - Managing Power
Charging Battery
An AC adapter, an AC power cord and a battery are required during battery charging.
These are standard accessories for your handheld computer. Do always use the AC
adapter, the AC power cord and the battery designed for your handheld computer.
After unpacking your handheld computer, the first thing you need to do is starting charging
battery for the further use. Please connect your AC power cord and AC adapter well with
the plug and mount your battery well before starting charging. We suggest you to charge
the battery for about 8 hours at the very beginning to give a full charge for your battery.
When the battery is nearly exhausted, please save and close the files you are currently
working on, and plug in the AC adapter to recharge the battery or swap with a charged
battery.
Checking the Battery Level
After a full charge of your battery, you are now able to check your battery level by using the
battery meter function of your OS. The battery icons which show the conditions of the
battery or where the power source comes from may be different depending on the OS you
install.
When the battery is nearly exhausted, the OS will show a warning icon. Also, the Power
Indicator LED will flash orange when the battery level is low.
Note:
To ensure system stability, please connect your computer to an external
power source when operating at -20
°
C ambient temperature.
