Swapping batteries
One way to obtain maximum use out of the COMET’s
portability is to pre-charge one or more rechargeable bat-
teries before operating the notebook from battery power.
For example, you may purchase additional batteries,
charge them, and carry them with you into the field. As
each battery becomes discharged, bring the COMET to a
halt, then remove the discharged battery and replace it
with one that is fully charged.
Replacing batteries
When lithium-ion batteries reach the end of their service
life, they indicate their impending failure by providing
shorter and shorter intervals of service between recharg-
ing and finally by failing to hold a charge. When this
occurs, you must replace the worn out battery with a new
one. Replacement batteries can be obtained from a
Tadpole representative.
CAUTION:
Worn batteries should be discarded in accor-
dance with the disposal requirements for your area.
