Getting Started
The batteries on the Sahara NetSlate a525 are hot swappable.
This means you can change out discharged batteries for spare,
charged batteries without first having to power off the system.
Note, however, that the Sahara NetSlate does not have a short-
term internal battery. Therefore, you must replace the first
discharged battery with a charged battery before removing the
second battery if both batteries are completely drained.
IMPORTANT: If you plan on removing the second battery before
replacing the first battery you just removed with a charged spare
battery, make sure you first shut down the Sahara NetSlate before
actually removing the second battery to prevent data loss.
Step 2: Connect the Tablet PC to an External Power Source
Locate the AC adapter and the power cord. Plug the power cord
securely into the AC adapter. Plug the AC adapter’s connection
cable into the “DC Power In” port on the top of the Tablet PC.
Once the adapter plug is securely in place, plug the power cord
into an external power socket.
NOTE: When you first connect the Tablet PC into an external power
source, the battery charge indicator will begin to glow orange. When
the battery is fully charged the indicator will turn green. See the
section entitled
Battery Usage and Care
for tips on maximizing battery
life and performance.
