Recharging the Bluetooth Keyboard
Adapter and Bluetooth Mouse
Batteries
The AA NiMH batteries included with the Bluetooth wireless kit
are rechargeable. You can continue to use the modular keyboard
and Bluetooth mouse while the batteries are recharging.
✎
Only NiMH and NiCad rechargeable batteries are supported.
Standard AA non-rechargeable batteries are not supported.
Ä
CAUTION:
DO NOT attempt to recharge standard non-rechargeable AA
batteries. Doing so can cause the batteries to explode.
When the battery charge becomes low for the Bluetooth keyboard
adapter or Bluetooth mouse, the Broadcom Bluetooth Control
Suite (BBCS) software displays a message to recharge the
batteries. Another message is displayed when the batteries
become fully charged.
✎
The Broadcom Bluetooth Control Suite (BBCS) battery level
indicator may be less accurate when using NiCad batteries.
Recharging less frequently will extend the life of NiCad batteries.
✎
The computer must be turned on and can not be in Hibernate
mode for the batteries to recharge. If the Broadcom Bluetooth
Control Suite (BBCS) software is installed, the computer will not
enter Hibernate mode until recharging is complete. If the BBCS
software is not installed, make sure the Control Panel’s Power
Options Properties has
System hibernates
set to
