3.2 Charging and Checking Charging Status
3.2.1 Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the M9700. It is
rechargeable using the AC adapter. 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.
NOTE:
1. Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0
°
C (32
°
F).
It is also recommended not to charge the battery when temperature is
above 45
°
C (113
°
F).
2.
To prevent damage, the charging process may stop and the Battery
Charge Indicator flashes red when the environmental temperature gets
above 55
° C (131 ° F).
3.2.3 Charging
When the M9700 is connected to an electrical outlet by an AC adapter, the
Battery Charge Indicator on the tablet PC will glow orange 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.
CAUTION:
1. After the tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately
disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. This may
damage the battery.
2. Do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully
charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery.
