Charging the main battery
Please handle your device carefully to avoid scratching or
damaging the surface.
To charge the main battery, plug the device into a live
electrical outlet. The battery charges whether the device is
On or Off.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the tablet’s battery
may not occur when your device is using all of the power
provided by the 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:
❖
The 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 83
.
Depending on the configuration of your system, the
Keyboard dock may not have a battery.
