Replacing the tablet battery
If your tablet battery has exceeded its life span and can no longer be adequately charged, it will need to
be replaced. Be sure to use only a rechargeable Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly) battery designed for your tablet.
For information on ordering a replacement battery, see
ordering parts and accessories
.
Warning:
NEVER attempt to charge other battery types in your tablet with the power adapter.
If you do so, you may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.
To replace the tablet battery:
1. First turn the wireless tablet upside down and slide open the battery compartment door.
2. Carefully remove the old tablet battery by disconnecting the cable from the tablet.
3. Align the notch on the new battery cable plug with the cutout in the tablet connector, then press the plug
into the connector as shown.
4. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the compartment door.
Warnings:
When installing the battery, do not attempt to install it backwards or reverse the polarity. If you do so,
you may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.
When disposing of the Li-Poly battery, do not carry it loosely in your pocket or in any container that
may contain metal objects. If transported improperly and metal objects come in contact with the
battery terminals, the battery could short, causing personal injury or fire. It is recommended that you
cover the terminals with adhesive tape to insulate them from possible contact with metal objects.
Do not abuse the battery in any manner. Puncturing, crushing, heating, exposure to water or fire,
disassembly, shorting the terminals, or other types of abuse may cause the battery to explode or
ignite, and potentially cause a fire or personal injury.
If the battery should leak, do not get the fluid in your eye. If battery fluid does enter the eye, do not
rub the eye. Immediately rinse the affected eye with water and seek medical attention.
Important:
When replacing the tablet battery, be
careful not to drop it on hard surfaces. The battery
can be damaged internally when dropped, and
should be replaced even if there is no obvious
damage. This will help prevent any future damage
that could occur to the tablet if the battery has been
dropped, is installed in the tablet, and then later
develops a short or leak while in the tablet.
Properly dispose of the old battery in accordance with the
battery manufacturer recommendations, and with the
warnings listed below. Keep batteries out of the reach of
children, and promptly dispose of old batteries.
Many communities offer voluntary or mandatory recycling
programs for batteries – when disposing of batteries, follow
all applicable laws and recycle your old batteries whenever
possible.
