3-2 Managing Power AC Adapter CAUTION:  The AC adapter is designed for use with your Rugged PC only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.  The AC power cord supplied with your Rugged PC is for use in the country where you purchased your Rugged PC. If you plan to go overseas with the Rugged PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord.  When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the Rugged PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or Rugged PC.  When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord. The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your Rugged PC runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power. The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC.
Managing Power 3-3 Battery Pack The battery pack is the internal power source for the Rugged PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the Rugged PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. Charging the Battery Pack NOTE:  Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0 C (32 F) or above 40 C (104 F); the charging process will stop if the battery’s temperature gets above 60 C (140 F). To avoid damaging the battery under this situation, disconnect the AC adapter and wait for the battery to return to room temperature before charging again.  During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery. To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Rugged PC and an electrical outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the Rugged PC glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the Rugged PC power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green. It takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge the Li-Ion battery pack at a room temperature of 25 C (77 F) (may need a longer charging time at lower temperatures). CAUTION: After the Rugged PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage the battery.
3-4 Managing Power NOTE: The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge process (0.21% per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100%). This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the Rugged PC. Checking the Battery Level NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the Rugged PC. By Operating System You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, click the battery icon on the taskbar. By Gas Gauge On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the estimated battery charge. When the battery pack is not installed in the Rugged PC and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the switch with a pointed device to see the corresponding value of indicator segment that light green. The value of the corresponding green segment indicates the relative percentage of the battery charge. The battery pack is fully discharged when you see no segment glowing green. Switch
Managing Power 3-5 Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION:  There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the Rugged PC manufacturer’s battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealer’s instructions.  Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. If you often rely on battery power for a long period of time while traveling, you may consider the purchase of an additional battery pack from your dealer and keep it with you in a fully charged state as a backup. To replace the battery pack, follow these steps: 1. Make sure that the Rugged PC is not turned on or connected to AC power. 2. Remove the rubber bumper by unfastening 6 screws (as shown below) from the bumper. 3. Remove the battery cover by unfastening 8 screws (as shown below) from the cover.
3-6 Managing Power 4. Remove the two screws (). Pull the ribbon strips to lift the battery pack out of the computer (). 5. Fit another battery pack into place. Tighten two screws. 6. Replace the battery cover and the rubber bumper.
Managing Power 3-7 Battery Low Signals and Actions When the battery is low, Windows gives warning messages and the Battery Charge Indicator ( ) blinks red to alert you. NOTE: You can set up your threshold and signals of Battery Low under Windows. Immediately save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating time depends on how you are using the Rugged PC. Always respond to Battery Low by placing your Rugged PC on the Sleep or Hibernation mode, turning off the Rugged PC, or connecting the AC adapter. If you do not take any action, the Rugged PC will automatically hibernate and turn off.
3-8 Managing Power Power Management Your Rugged PC supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving. With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows, power supply to different Rugged PC components is controlled on an as-needed basis. This allows maximum power conservation and performance at the same time. In general, Windows’ power management works in this way: What... When... Power to the hard disk is turned off When the hard disk has been idle for a set period. Power to the display is turned off When the display has been idle for a set period. The Rugged PC enters the Sleep mode. The hard disk and display are turned off and the entire system consumes less power. When the entire system has been idle for a set period. When you manually activate the mode. The Rugged PC enters the Hibernation mode. (See the next subsection for more information.) When the entire system has been idle for a set period. When you manually activate the mode. For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help.
Managing Power 3-9 Hibernation Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many applications when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed before the computer can be turned off. When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the applications. The Rugged PC stores the state of your Rugged PC to a file on the hard disk and then shuts down. The next time you turn on your Rugged PC, you return to exactly where you left off.
3-10 Managing Power Power-Saving Tips Aside from enabling your Rugged PC’s power saving mode (see previous section), you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by following these suggestions.  Do not disable Power Management.  Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.  Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.  Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the optional stylus. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.  Remove the ExpressCard (if inserted) when not using it.  Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module.  Turn off the Rugged PC when you are not using it.
