Battery
This section explains battery use, recharging methods and handling.
Battery pack
The tablet computer contains a battery pack inside. Also, depending on the
model you purchased, the keyboard dock might contain a second battery
pack to extend the battery operating time.
When the AC adaptor is not connected, the main power source of the
computer is the lithium polymer battery pack.
Real-Time Clock (RTC) function
The Real-Time Clock (RTC) function is supported. The battery pack
provides power for the internal real-time clock and calendar function and
also maintains the system configuration while the computer is turned off. If
the RTC lasting time completely runs out, the system will lose this
information and the real-time clock and calendar will stop working.
You can change the Real-Time Clock settings in the BIOS setup utility.
Refer to
for further information.
Care and use of the battery pack
This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle
your battery pack properly.
Refer to the enclosed
Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort
for
detailed precautions and handling instructions.
Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature from 5 through 35
degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak, battery
pack performance might deteriorate, and the battery life might be
shortened.
Charging the battery pack
When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the
Battery
indicator
flashes amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power remain.
If you continue to use the computer while the
Battery
indicator flashes, the
computer enters Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data, and
automatically turn itself off.
You must recharge the battery pack when it becomes discharged.
Procedures
To recharge the battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V
jack and plug the other end into a working outlet. The
Battery
and/or
Second Battery
indicator glows amber while the battery pack is being
charged.
