Charging the battery
Battery charge time may vary depending on the
applications, power management settings, and features
used.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the tablet’s battery
may not occur when your device is using all of the power
provided by the Micro USB/AC adaptor to run
applications, features, and devices. Your device's Power
Options utility can be used to select a power level setting
that reduces the power required for system operation
and will allow the battery to recharge.
The battery may not start charging immediately under the
following conditions:
❖
A battery is extremely hot or cold.
To ensure that the battery charges to its full capacity,
wait until it reaches room temperature (50 to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, 10 to 26 degrees Celsius).
❖
The battery is almost completely discharged.
Leave the power connected and the battery should
begin charging after a few minutes.
HINT: Once the battery is fully charged, we recommend
that you periodically operate your device on battery
power until the battery discharges completely.
Please make a complete back up of your data to external
media before discharging the tablet’s battery. For more
information, see
“Backing up your work” on page 57
