Using battery power
WARNING!
To reduce potential safety issues, use only the battery provided with the tablet, a replacement
battery provided by HP, or a compatible battery purchased from HP.
The tablet runs on battery power whenever it is not plugged into external AC power. Tablet battery life varies,
depending on power management settings, running programs, display brightness, external devices
connected to the tablet, and other factors. Keeping the battery in the tablet whenever the tablet is plugged
into AC power charges the battery and also protects your work in case of a power outage. If the tablet
contains a charged battery and is running on external AC power, the tablet automatically switches to battery
power if the AC adapter is disconnected on the tablet or an AC power loss occurs.
NOTE:
When you disconnect AC power, the display brightness may automatically decrease to save battery
life. Select tablet products can switch between graphic modes to increase battery life.
