When you connect the Tablet PC to AC power with the battery installed, the
system automatically charges the battery until it reaches full charge.
The Battery Status LED is amber while the battery is charging and changes
to green when fully charged.
WARNING: To avoid injury, be sure to stay within the recommended
temperature range when charging the battery. Wait until it cools to
room temperature before recharging or replacing it with another
battery. See the documentation that came with the battery charger for more
information.
To charge the battery:
1. Plug the AC power adapter into the Tablet PC, then into a wall outlet
or power strip. (Completely recharging the battery may take up to
two hours, although the battery reaches an 80% charge in much less
time.)
2. Turn the Tablet PC over to see the battery gauge on the
bottom of the Tablet PC and press the button next to the
battery gauge. If all five LEDs are green, the battery is
fully charged. Or, move the pen over the Power/Battery
icon to display battery power resources. (The blue area on the battery
icon shrinks as the battery runs down.)
