44T5200 Users Manual77-0001-004 15 November 1999IntroductionThe T5200 computer uses a Lithium Ion (Li-ion) battery as themain battery. This section provides some important informationabout this battery and ways to extend its life. The T5200 computer can be operated on battery power or externalpower. If a battery is installed, the system automatically startscharging the battery when external power is connected. Practical Battery Tips•Your battery will last longer during the day if it is used andcharged between 50oF and 86o F (10o C and 30o C) •Charge the battery nightly where the temperature will remainaround 70° F (21° C)•Turn off the computer manually whenever you are not using it•Make sure your system suspends automatically. PC Cards,custom applications, or modified system settings can affect this•Turn off the backlight when you do not need it•Turn off volume and sounds for events you do not need•Avoid exposing batteries to extremely hot or cold temperaturesfor long periods•If you plan to store the computer for more than 30 days, backupfiles and data, remove the battery, and store the battery in a dryplace
45Section 5. Power Management77-0001-004 15 November 1999Low Battery IndicatorsWhen the battery becomes low, the computer beeps and the lowbattery icon appears in the taskbar. Double-tapping this icon opensthe Power Properties window so you can view the level of batterypower. If the battery becomes very low, the computer beeps and alow battery message appears on the screen periodically. Unless youreplace the battery or connect external power, the computer shutsoff automatically. Checking Battery PowerYou can check the level of battery power by opening the Powerutility from Control Panel or by double-tapping the battery icon inthe taskbar. The Battery window provides information about thestatus of your battery.
46T5200 Users Manual77-0001-004 15 November 1999To conserve battery power, the computer automatically suspendsoperation after two minutes of continuous idle time. You canchange this time by selecting the Power Off tab and then selecting adifferent time from the list. The system will not suspend whileconnected to external power even if the box is checked here.
47Section 5. Power Management77-0001-004 15 November 1999CAUTIONYou can lose data if you remove the existing battery while thecomputer is operating on battery power. Before you removethe battery, turn off the computer by pressing the POWERbutton. You can also lose data if the battery is removed formore than ten minutes.Removing the battery exposes the internal components of thecomputer to the environment. Whenever you remove thebattery, always shield the unit from contaminants such asliquids, rain, snow, and dust.Replacing BatteriesWhen operating on battery power, the T5200 computer is equippedwith enough internal backup power to maintain memory contentsfor about ten minutes each time you exchange batteries. To replace the battery1 Turn the unit OFF if it is on battery power only.2 Press down on the battery near each latch, slide each batterylatch out and remove the battery.3 Align the battery connectors and install a new battery.4 Press down on the battery near each latch and slide each latchinto place to secure it.
48T5200 Users Manual77-0001-004 15 November 1999Charging BatteriesTo maintain power and prevent data loss from a low battery, chargethe battery daily. Use the AC Adapter that comes with your T5200computer. You can operate the T5200 computer while the battery is charging.To charge the battery1 Make sure the battery is installed properly in the T5200computer.2 Connect the appropriate end of the AC Adapter to an AC walloutlet.3 Connect the other end to the computer’s power port on the backof the unit.The battery starts charging automatically. A fully dischargedbattery is fully charged in approximately three to four hours atmoderate temperatures, around 70° F (21° C). In warmer orcooler temperatures, the fully discharged battery can take muchlonger to fully charge. Battery charging icon.

Following the guidelines in this section will help youmaintain the condition and performance of your computer. Care and Cleaning Physical Inspection Periodically inspect the computer and accesso-ries for wear, damage, or loose or missing parts. Identifying andcorrecting potential problems early can help reduce the need toreturn the unit for service.Outside Case Like all tools, the outside of the computer will getdirty with use. The case can be cleaned with a solution of milddetergent in water applied to a clean, soft cloth. Always wipe offthe computer with a soft cloth after cleaning.Display Periodically inspect the display to make sure the contrastand brightness functions are operating properly. To clean thedisplay, apply a household glass cleaner to a clean, dry, soft clothand then wipe the screen. Do not use paper products because theycan scratch the screen.External Power Connector The external power connector maysometimes be exposed to moisture and/or contamination causing anunreliable connection to the external power source. Clean thisconnector using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. RJ-11 Connector Make sure this connector is operating properly.During normal use, the connector pins can get dirty or becomebroken, bent, or pushed out of place. Clean the connector with acotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.
