®
.

CHARGING THE PowerPad
®
See “Safety Information - Charging”
• DO NOT charge or recharge the PowerPad® on airplanes.
• In order to optimize your charge, it is recommended that the PowerPad
®
be disconnected to the portable computer. If charged while connected from
the portable computer, charge time will take significantly longer than when
the PowerPad
®
is not connected to the portable computer.
• Do not charge your PowerPad
®
with an AC adapter with an output
voltage greater than 24 Volts as this may damage the PowerPad
®
.
• For some computer brands, a new AC adapter may be required.
You may purchase an AC adapter separately from Electrovaya.
This is necessary when the computer’s AC adapter cannot
supply sufficient voltage to fully charge the PowerPad
®
.
Please consult the Electrovaya PowerPad
®
Compatibility List.
• After achieving full charge and being idle for 1 hour, the PowerPad
®
may
revert to 2 Green lights. The unit is fully charged, but due to a natural
voltage settling after a large charge, the fuel gauge may communicate
a lower capacity.
Recommended Charging Procedure
Apple PowerBook users refer to the next section for steps 1 and 2.
1. Disconnect the PowerPad
®
power cable from the computer.
2. Insert the AC adapter into the recharge port of the power cable.

and indicate the charge level of the PowerPad
®
. When the PowerPad

is
fully charged, the fuel gauge will stop blinking.
5. After displaying 3 green lights the PowerPad
