Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
Battery
Battery
The Tablet PC battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is
between 5°C / 41°F and max. 35°C / 95°F.
You can charge the battery by connecting the Tablet PC to the AC adapter
(see
"Connecting the AC adapter", Page 20
).
If the battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the AC adapter
within 5 minutes of hearing the warning alarm, your Tablet PC will switch off automatically.

In the taskbar, Windows also has a "Battery status meter" for monitoring the state
of charge of the battery. When you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol,
the system displays the state of charge of the battery.

Self-discharge,battery
Chargecapacity,battery
The battery should be stored in a dry environment at a temperature between 0°C / 32°F and
30°C / 86°F. The lower the storage temperature, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (more than two months),
the battery charge level should be approx. 30%. To prevent exhaustive
discharge which would permanently damage the battery, check the level
of charge of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to make use of the optimum capacity of the battery, you should allow
the battery to fully discharge and then recharge it.
If you will not use batteries for a longer period of time, remove the batteries from
the keyboard docking station. Never store batteries in the device!

Only use rechargeable batteries approved by Fujitsu for your Tablet PC.
Never use force when
fi
tting or removing a battery.
Make sure that no foreign bodies get into the battery connections.
Never store a battery for long periods in the discharged state. This
can make it impossible to recharge.
