Managing power
A 6-cell lithim-ion prismatic battery comes installed in the Gateway Tablet PC.
Fully charged, a new battery can power the tablet for several hours, depending
on conditions and usage patterns.
Extra batteries are available through Motion. Use only Motion batteries in the
Gateway Tablet PC.
Handle the battery with care. Do not open, puncture, short, or expose it to fire
or water. Keep the battery in an ambient temperature of less than 140°F (60°C).
Do not leave it in a closed car in hot weather.
Charging the battery
Your tablet ships with a charged 6-cell lithium-ion battery (or, optionally, a
lightweight 3-cell) in its bay.
You may own other devices that advise you to charge the battery before first
use, but the Gateway Tablet PC battery does not require it. If a charge is needed,
just plug in the AC adapter and let the battery charge while you are working.
■
With the tablet turned off, plug the AC adapter into the tablet and a wall
outlet.
■
A full charge will take up to two hours. Press the button next to the battery
gauge. When all five LEDs glow green, the battery is fully charged.
■
Whenever the tablet is connected to AC power and the battery is in place,
the tablet will automatically charge the battery until it reaches 100 percent.
The Battery Status LED glows steady yellow while the battery is charging
and changes to steady green when charging is complete.
Battery status indicators
The Gateway Tablet PC has two external battery status indicators: the Battery
Status LED light on the front and the battery status gauge on the back. (When
the tablet is turned on, the
Power/Battery
icon in the taskbar also indicates
battery status.)
Battery status LED
This LED glows or flashes depending on the state of the battery:
