For mobile computing, your Aero 1500 Series draws power from a
rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. When the battery is fully
charged, it can store enough energy to power your device for several
hours. If you use heavy power-using features such as the screen backlight,
you will discharge the battery faster. If you frequently use the device with
battery power for a long duration exceeding several hours, you may want
to purchase a spare battery.
Changing the Battery Pack
To remove and replace the battery pack in your Aero 1500 Series, follow
the steps below. Before removing the battery, always verify that the coin-
sized backup battery is installed in the device and has a rating of Low to
Good.
CAUTION:
The backup battery maintains the data held in your Aero
1500 Series whenever the battery is low, or if the battery pack is
removed. The backup battery is not rechargeable, so when you
change battery packs, do not cause an unnecessary drain on the
backup battery by leaving the device without a battery pack for
more than a short period of time.
Turn off the device.
Turn over the device and use your stylus to press the recessed button below
the battery cover on the bottom edge of the device
Ê
. The cover will pop
up.

from the two latches at the top of the battery compartment

the cover completely.
