Mesa 3 Rugged Tablet Owner’s Manual
The shelf life for battery packs is about one year. The battery
packs should be recharged at least once per year. This
prevents the battery packs from discharging to a level that
might damage the batteries. Battery packs that are not
recharged at least every year, could fail to work or may
have reduced capacity. Battery packs typically last 1,000 to
3,000 charging cycles.
CAUTION: Only use batteries designed for the Mesa 3 from
an approved vendor. Use of non-approved batteries may
void your product warranty. The Mesa 3 must be returned to
the factory for replacement of the optional internal battery,
although the internal battery pack is designed to last the
life of the tablet.
CAUTION: The unit is not designed to run on external power
without a battery installed. Doing so can damage internal
components of your unit and void the warranty.
