Chapter 3
Managing Power
Your tablet PC operates either on external AC power or on internal
battery power.
This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To
maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the
battery in the proper way.
Managing Power
3-1
AC Adapter
CAUTION:
z The AC adapter is designed for use with your tablet PC only. Connecting the
AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.
z The AC power cord supplied with your tablet PC is for use in the country
where you purchased your tablet PC. If you plan to go overseas with thetablet
PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord.
z When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet
first and then from the tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC
adapter or tablet PC.
z When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pullon the
cord.
The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC
(Direct Current) power because your tablet 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.
3-2
Managing Power
Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the tablet PC. It is
rechargeable using the AC adapter.
The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you
are using the tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals,
you will experience a shorter operating time.
NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the
“Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter 7.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE:
z Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F). It is
also recommended not to charge the battery when temperature is above 35
°C (95 °F).
z To prevent damage, the charging process may stop and the Battery Charge
Indicator flashes red when the environmental temperature gets above 55 °C
(131 °F).
z 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 tablet PC
and an electrical outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the tablet
PC glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised
to keep the tablet PC power off while the battery is being charged. When
the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green.
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the Li-Ion battery pack at a
room temperature of 25 °C (may need a longer charging time at lower
temperatures).
CAUTION: After the tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately
disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may
damage the battery.
Managing Power
3-3
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 tablet PC.
Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or
when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than
expected.
Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging.
It can take several hours.
1. Make sure that the tablet PC power is turned off. Connect the AC
adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
2. After the battery pack is fully charged, turn on the tablet PC. Press the
Ent key when the prompt appears on the screen during system startup.
The prompt shows up on the screen for only a few seconds. You must
press the Ent key quickly.
3. A small window appears, select Launch System Setup to invoke the
program.
4. Disconnect the AC adapter and leave the tablet PC on until the
battery is fully discharged. The tablet PC will shut down automatically.
5. Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
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 tablet 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,

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
tablet 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
Replacing the Battery Pack
CAUTION:
z There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the
battery only with the tablet PC manufacturer’s optional battery packs. Discard
used batteries according to the dealer’s instructions.
z Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack.

Battery Low Signals and Actions
Battery Low occurs when the battery has approximately 10% (Windows
default setting) of its charge remaining. The tablet PC’s Battery Charge
Indicator ( ) blinks red to alert you to take actions.
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 tablet PC. If you are using the
audio subsystem, hard or USB flash disk, the battery might run out of charge very
quickly.
Always respond to Battery Low by placing your tablet PC on the Standby
or Hibernation mode, turning off the tablet PC, or connecting the AC
adapter. If you do not take any action, the tablet PC will automatically
hibernate and turn off.

Managing Power
Power Management
Your tablet 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 tablet 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 tablet PC enters the Standby
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.
The tablet PC enters the
Hibernation mode. (See the next
subsection for more information.)
When you press the power button. *
When the entire system has been
idle for a set period.
When you press the power button. *
* Depends on your settings in Windows.
For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help.
Managing Power
3-9
Hibernation
NOTE: Make sure that the hibernation feature is enabled in the Hibernate tab of
the Power Options Properties from the Control Panel in Windows XP.
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 tablet PC stores the state of your tablet PC to a file on
the hard disk and then shuts down. The next time you turn on your tablet
PC, you return to exactly where you left off.

Managing Power
Power-Saving Tips
Aside from enabling your tablet 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 touchscreen pen. If you use a USB flash drive,
unplug it when you are not using it.
Deactivate the Wireless LAN function if you are not using it (see
Chapter 2).
Deactivate the Bluetooth wireless feature if you are not using it (see
Chapter 2).
Turn off the tablet PC when you are not using it.

Caring for the Tablet PC
Taking good care of your tablet PC will ensure a trouble-free operation
and reduce the risk of damage to your tablet PC.
This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting,
storing, cleaning, and traveling.
Caring for the Tablet PC
7-1
Protecting the Tablet PC
To safeguard the integrity of your tablet PC data as well as the tablet PC
itself, you can protect the tablet PC in several ways as described in this
section.
Using the Cable Lock
You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your tablet PC
against theft. The cable lock is available in most tablet PC stores.
To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a
table. Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to
secure the lock. Store the key in a safe place.
7-2
Caring for the Tablet PC
Taking Care of the Tablet PC
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use the tablet PC where the recommended
temperature is between 10 °C (50 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F) – actual
operating temperature depending on product specifications.
Avoid placing the tablet PC in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the tablet PC. For
example, do not place the tablet PC on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in
damage to the tablet PC.
Keep the tablet PC at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical
appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV,
refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker.
Avoid moving the tablet PC abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A
temperature difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) may cause
condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
Do not place the tablet PC on an unsteady surface.
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the tablet PC as this may
damage the display.
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to
clean the display but use the included soft cloth. Avoid touching it
with your fingers, pen, or pencil.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight
to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid
Caring for the Tablet PC
7-3
using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power
management from working.
Cleaning Guidelines
Never clean the tablet PC with its power on.
Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to
wipe the exterior of the tablet PC.
Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol
or detergent on the display.
Battery Pack Guidelines
Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When
recharging, make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so
may avoid harm to the battery pack.
The battery pack is a consumable product and the following
conditions will shorten its life:
– when frequently charging the battery pack (it is recommended that
you set the Charging Mode on the G-Manager utility’s Battery tab to
Economy Mode – see chapter 6 for details).
– when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature
condition
To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby
prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so
as not to frequently increase its internal temperature.
Charge the battery pack between 5oC ~ 45oC (41oF ~ 113oF)
temperature range.
A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s
temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed
vehicle and in hot weather condition.
Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is not within the allowed
temperature range.
7-4
Caring for the Tablet PC
z
It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more
than once a day.
It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the tablet
PC’s power off.
To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool
dark place removed from the tablet PC and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge
remaining.
Important guidelines when using the battery pack.
When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the
following:
– avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the tablet PC is
in Standby mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause
loss of data or the tablet PC may become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the tablet PC.
The tablet PC’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will
directly affect the battery pack’s charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the tablet PC is turned on.
To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the
tablet PC in standby or hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten
the discharge time.
Touchscreen Guidelines
Use the finger or the included touchscreen pen on the display. Using a
sharp or metallic object other than your finger or touchscreen pen
may cause scratches and damage the display, thereby causing
errors.
A screen protector film has been attached to the screen before
shipment. The film is a consumable, which will be worn out after a
period of use (6 months in average). You can purchase a new one
when replacement is required.
Caring for the Tablet PC
7-5
z
Avoid using excessive force that may cause damage to the display.
Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface
has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it.
Not using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective
coating on the touchscreen surface.
To remove hard to remove dirt, blow some steam on the particular
area and gently wipe away using a soft cloth.
Turn off the tablet PC power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the
display with the power on may cause improper operation.
Use the touchscreen within the intended area only. The display area
and touchscreen operating area is the same.
Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on
top of the display as this may cause the glass to break thereby
damaging the display.
Using the touchscreen during low temperature (less than 5 oC) may
cause a slower response time, this is normal. A normal response time
may be restored upon returning to room temperature.
When there is noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the
touchscreen function (wrong location on intended operation or
improper display resolution), refer to the Windows operating system for
instructions on recalibrating the touchscreen display.
7-6
Caring for the Tablet PC
When Traveling
Before traveling with your tablet PC, make a backup of your hard disk
data into flash disks or other storage devices. As an added
precaution, bring along an extra copy of your important data.
Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged.
Make sure that the tablet PC is turned off.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the tablet PC and take it with you.
Use the AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger.
Hand-carry the tablet PC. Do not check it in as luggage.
If you need to leave the tablet PC in the car, put it in the trunk of the
car to avoid exposing the tablet PC to excessive heat.
When going through airport security, it is recommended that you send
the tablet PC and flash disks through the X-ray machine (the device
you set your bags on). Avoid the magnetic detector (the device you
walk through) or the magnetic wand (the handheld device used by
security personnel).
