The rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack allows you to operate your M1022 Booktop computer without an external power source. When you use the AC adapter to connect your M1022 Booktop to a power outlet, the internal battery will begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the indicator panel will be on. Once the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge icon will turn off. Quick charging time is 2.5 hours for the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery when the computer is turned off, while the normal battery charging time is 3.5 hours. *Operating video, or audio equipment can increase the use of your computer’s power. *Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. *When the battery is not fully charged, allow your battery to be charged completely before using it (i.e., before disconnecting AC power). Calibrating the battery before use is also highly recommended. *Li-Ion Battery is vulnerable; do not charge it with other power adapter, otherwise fire or explosion may occur. Replacing the Battery The battery will gradually weaken over time. We recommend that you replace your battery when you notice a significant decrease of battery capacity. To change the battery pack, follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the computer. 2. Close the lid and flip the computer over. 3. Slide the battery latch. Continue to hold it until the battery is removed. 4. Make sure the replacement battery is properly oriented before inserting it into the battery compartment. Note: The battery can not be charged to 100% when remaining battery is no less than 95%. It is based on the supplier’s advice, and to extend charging frequency and battery life. Maintenance of the AC Adapter *Do not connect the adapter to any other device. *Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of it. Carefully route the power cord and keep cables away from all traffic. *When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord itself but on the plug instead. *If you are using an extension cord, make sure that the devices plugged onto the cord do not exceed its total capacity. Furthermore, the devices plugged into the electrical outlet shall not exceed the fuse’s total ampere rating. *Please verify power voltage before connecting the electrical cord to the power outlet. If you are uncertain of its power specification, please consult with your local vendors or power company for more details. 1.14 Connecting the AC Adapter The AC adapter converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to the computer. It can automatically adjust to any voltage from 100 to 240 volts and outputs power at 12V, (12V, 3.0A for M1022), allowing you to use your M1022 Booktop computer in almost any region. CAUTION: Use only the AC adapter and the power cord we recommend. Using the wrong adapter may damage your computer. We assume no responsibilities for damages arising from misuse of AC adapters. To properly connect the adapter, follow the steps as below: 1. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter. 2. Connect the AC adapter to the DC power port of your computer. 3. Connect the AC adapter power cord to an AC outlet. 1.15 Installing M1022 Device Drivers If your M1022 Booktop Computer already has an operating system installed, it is best to install all necessary device drivers in order for hardware to properly function. Before installing drivers, check with your vendors to see if they have already installed all the
drivers with the operating system, if not, please follow the steps below: 1. You can find the Utility Driver CD like the one shown below: 2. Put the CD into the CD R-W or DVD-RW (optional) Drive. An Auto Run installation screen will appear. 1.16 Operating Temperature Operating Temperature: 10ºC to 40ºC Chapter 2 Battery 2.1 Battery Pack Your M1022 Booktop is equipped with a high-energy rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. Battery life will vary depending on the product configuration, product model, applications loaded on the product, power management settings of the product, and the product features used by the customer. As with all batteries, the maximum capacity of this battery will decrease with time and usage. 2.2 Recharging The Battery Pack Your M1022 Booktop supports both on-line and off-line recharge. Follow the procedure below to recharge battery: *Make sure the battery pack is installed in the M1022 Booktop. *Connect the AC adapter to the M1022 Booktop and to an electrical outlet. When a battery pack is being recharged, its battery LED (located at the upper left corner of LCD display) would be lit. For details on the LEDs, please refer to Chapter 1.3. When the M1022 Booktop is OFF, a depleted Li-Ion battery will take three hours to recharge. 2.3 Questions And Answers Q: I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack. Is it normal? A: The battery will generate heat during recharging and discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the M1022 Booktop to prevent overheating. User needs not to worry. Q: My battery operation time is not as long as it should be. Why? A: The battery is heat sensitive and can only be charged to its maximum if the battery and its environmental temperature remain within 15-25°C (59-77°F). The more the temperature deviates from this range during recharging, the less chance there is for the battery to be fully charged. In order to recharge the pack to its full capacity, users are requested to cool down the unit by unplugging the AC Adapter. Wait until it is cooled down. Then plug in the AC Adapter to start recharging again. Q: I did not use my spare battery for a few days. Even though it was fully recharged, there wasn’t as much power left as a newly charged one. Why?
A: The batteries will self-discharge when they are not being recharged. To make sure a battery pack is fully charged, recharge before use. Always keep the battery inside the M1022 Booktop and have the AC adapter connected whenever possible. Q: I did not use my spare battery for months. I have problem in recharging it. A: If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an extended period of self-discharge, say more than three months, the battery voltage level will become too low and needs to be Pre-Charged (to bring the battery voltage level high enough) before it automatically (for Li-Ion only) resumes its normal Fast Charge. Pre-Charge may take 30 minutes. Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours. 2.4 Battery Maintenance To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should occasionally let the M1022 Booktop deplete its battery power completely before recharging. To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your M1022 Booktop consume the remaining battery power. To speed up the depletion, use the HDD as much as possible. When the battery is empty, wait for the M1022 Booktop to cool down (especially the battery). The temperature should be within 15-25°C (59-77°F). Then insert the AC adapter to recharge the battery. 2.5 Power Consumption The Windows™ operating system has incorporated the latest state-of-the-art ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Interface) power management methodology. In order to fully utilize the power of your battery packs, it would be a good idea for you to spend sometime to acquire a basic understanding of the power management concept from your operating system. In Windows™ Operating Systems, you can go through Power Options of the Control Panel according to the version of Windows™ Operating System the M1022 Booktop applies. We shall not describe them in details. 2.6 Reducing Power Consumption Although your M1022 Booktop (together with the operating system) is capable of power conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption: *Use the AC power whenever possible. *Try to use the HDD drive to read and write files, instead of using the external USB FDD. *Disable unused devices, such as Web Cam, WLAN, Bluetooth®, and etc. *Decrease LCD panel brightness through Windows. Note: Whenever system is powered on or powered off, make sure the battery pack is installed in the battery pack compartment.
2.7 Removing The Battery Pack This battery pack can easily be removed and replaced. Make sure that the computer is properly shutdown before changing the battery pack.

A: Make sure you press the power button for at least 4 seconds. Normally, this will force the computer to shut off. Q: Why can’t I charge the battery of my portable computer after it was out of use for some time? A: After your portable computer has not been used for a long time (say, more than a month), the battery will enter into low voltage protection mode. Under this circumstance, restoring to normal voltage will require the battery to be slowly charged for several hours. Once the battery has been fully charged, your computer will resume to normal operation. Q: My computer says: “CMOS Battery Low”, what should I do? A: If your computer is without power (i.e. unplug the computer power source from the power outlet and remove the battery pack from it) for over 45 days, you would lose the information stored in CMOS. Please follow the steps below to reconfigure your CMOS settings: 1. Press F2 to enter into the BIOS setup utility. 2. Select “Load Optional Defaults?”. When you see the following prompt, choose <OK> and then press <Enter>. 3. Select “Save Changes and Exit”, select <OK> and press <Enter> to restart your computer. Q: How to unplug or eject devices A: 1. In the notification area next to your task bar, double-click the Safe Removal icon. Safe Removal displays a list of Plug and Play devices that support safe removal and that are currently attached to the system. If you do not see the Safe Removal icon, your device does not support safe removal, and you cannot unplug or eject your device using Safe Removal.
2. In Safely Remove Hardware, in the list of devices, select the device that you want to unplug or eject, and then click Stop. This tells the system that you will be unplugging or ejecting the device. 3. In Stop a Hardware device, click OK. A notification appears stating that it is now safe to unplug or eject the device. Caution Unplugging or ejecting a device that supports safe removal without first using the Safe Removal application to warn the system can cause data to be lost or your system to become unstable. For example, if you use Safe Removal, however, you can warn the system before you unplug or eject a device, preventing possible loss of data. Note For removable storage devices that can safely be removed while the system is on, the system disables write caching by default. It does this so the devices can be removed without loss of data. When write caching is disabled, however, the system will likely experience slower performance, so be sure to enable write caching when you have finished removing the device. Q: Does M1022 provide a hardware switch or function button to enable/disable the Bluetooth function? A: M1022 provides a combined function button to enable/disable the 3G (Fn+F10) and Bluetooth (Fn+F11) functions. Q: What are the considerations for the use of the touch control screen? A: In accordance with the principle of panel structure, the surroundings of the touch control panel are highly sensitive. Hence, drawing lines along the surroundings of the chassis is strictly prohibited as this may damage the Pet/film due to extreme pressure or cause the internal liners/pads on the edges of the outer shell to displace, therefore squeezing the edges of the touch control screen and causing the screen to fail. Q: What is the capacity of SDHC card that M1022 can support? A: The specification of SDHC that M1022 SD card reader supports shall be in accordance with that of the SD Association. Currently, the maximum capacity announced by SD Association is 32GB http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc/ Q: How can M1022 be upgraded in the DOS and Windows mode? A: Please refer to how to upgrade M1022 in the DOS and Windows mode? Q. Can M1022 change the 2.5-inch SATA interface SSD and install it for use with Windows XP itself? A.
