To Use the Vehicle Adapter (optional)
1. Insert the vehicle adapter’s power cord into the DC-in jack on the left side of the computer.
2. Insert the 12V (cigarette lighter) adapter into the vehicle’s 12V socket, turning it slightly to make
a good connection.
CAUTION The vehicle adapter is not intended to be used continuously. It is intended to provide
a convenient, temporary power source for powering and charging this computer while in transit in
a vehicle. For permanent installations, it is recommended that the (fused) vehicle charger adapter
be wired directly to the vehicle power supply. For additional information regarding permanent
installation, contact your sales representative.
3. The power LED illuminates to indicate that current is reaching the vehicle adapter. When you
connect the vehicle adapter, it automatically begins charging the computer’s battery. At moderate
temperatures, around 20°C (68ºF), the battery should charge from empty to 90% in less than three
hours if the unit is suspended or off. It should take less than four hours if the unit is in use.
NOTE As the battery temperature approaches the ends of its temperature range (5°C/ 41°F to 50°
C/122°F), it may take longer to charge the battery.
CAUTION Avoid exposing batteries to extremely hot or cold temperatures for long periods. To
prevent possible damage to the battery, the GoBook XR-1 laptop does not allow the battery to
charge if the internal temperature of the battery gets too low (< 5°C or < 41°F) or too high (> 50°
C or > 122°F).
2. Connect the AC adapter to the DC power port
on the left side of your computer.
3. Connect the AC adapter power cord to a
properly grounded AC outlet.
NOTE
It is recommended you use a quality
surge protector
