Chapter 3
Managi ng 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.
27
AC Adapter
CAUTION:
 The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only.
Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the
adapter.
 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 the Tablet 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 Tablet PC. A reverse
procedure may damage the AC adapter or Tablet 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 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.
28
Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet PC. It is rechargeable
using the AC adapter.
NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is
provided in the “Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter
7.
Chargi ng the Battery Pack
NOTE:
 Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is
outside the allowed range, which is between 0 C (32 F) and
50 C (122 F). Once the battery’s temperature meets the
requirements, charging automatically resumes.
 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 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery pack.
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.
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.
29
Ini ti al i zi ng 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.
A software tool called “Gauge Reset” is provided for the purpose. Use the G-Manager
program and select the Battery tab to find the tool.
Checki ng 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.
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.
By Operati ng System
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function of the
operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, tap 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 Tablet PC and you
want to know the battery charge, you can press the push-button to see the number
of LEDs that light up. Each LED represents 20% charge.

CAUTION:
 There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace the battery only with the Tablet PC
manufacturer’s battery packs. Discard used batteries
according to the dealer’s instructions.
 Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack.
NOTE: You can hot swap the battery pack as described later in
“Hot Swapping the Battery Pack.”
1.
Turn off the Tablet PC and disconnect the AC adapter. (Skip this step if you
are hot swapping the battery pack.)
2. Slide the battery latch to the unlocked position (
slightly pop up.

position (
).
33
CAUTION: Make sure the latch is correctly locked, not revealing
the underneath red part.
Hot Swappi ng the Battery Pack
“Hot swapping” means you can safely replace the battery pack without shutting down
while your Tablet PC is running on battery power. This is possible because your
Tablet PC has an internal bridge battery. The bridge battery can sustain power for
up to 1 minute, which should be long enough for you to replace the battery pack.
Hi nts and Remi nders
See “Replacing the Battery Pack” for replacement instructions and note the following
hints and reminders on hot swapping:

Make sure you have another charged battery pack.
34

The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack is between
-10 C (14 F) and 50 C (122 F).

Check the Bridge Battery Indicator after unlocking the battery latch. Replace the
battery pack only when the indicator lights in green. A red light means the bridge
battery level is too low for you to safely hot swap the battery pack.

When the battery latch is unlocked, the display brightness level will be fixed
at a low level and cannot be adjusted.

If a charged battery pack is not inserted within one minute, the Tablet PC enters
Hibernation mode.

After removing the battery pack, do not connect and immediately disconnect the
AC adapter. This will shut down the Tablet PC.
About the Bri dge Battery

The bridge battery is not user-replaceable and is invisible to the operating system.
It never functions as the power source as long as the main battery pack is
installed.

By default, the bridge battery is charged by external AC power (if connected)
or the main battery pack (if external power is not connected). You can limit
35
the charging source to only the external AC power. (For setup information, see
“Advanced Menu” in Chapter 5 and the Chargi ng Backup Battery item.)
36
Power-Savi ng Ti ps
Aside from enabling your Tablet PC’s power saving mode, 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.

When not using a connected device, disconnect it.

Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module (such as
WLAN, BT, or WWAN).

Turn off the Tablet PC when you are not using it.

cold environment.
61

Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC as this may damage the
display.

The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid touching it with a sharp object
such as a pen or pencil.

LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for
a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by limiting the amount
of static content on the display. It is recommended that you use a screen saver
or turn off the display when it is not in use.

To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to
automatically turn off as a result of power management.
Cl eani ng Gui del i nes


The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will shorten
its life:
– when frequently charging the battery pack
62
– 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 10 C ~ 30 C (50 F ~ 86 F) 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.

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.


As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Getac Technology Corporation has determined that
this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.
An ENERGY STAR® qualified computer uses 70 % less electricity than computers without
enabled power management features.
Earni ng the ENERGY STAR®

When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the ENERGY
STAR®, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of greenhouse gases out
of the air.

If left inactive, ENERGY STAR® qualified computers enter a low-power mode
and may use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power management
features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than even just a few years
ago.

Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy,
but helps equipment run cooler and last longer.
91

Businesses that use ENERGY STAR® enabled office equipment may realize
additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.

Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR® qualified equipment in a single home office
(e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light
an entire home for more than 4 years.

Power management (“sleep settings”) on computers and monitors can result
in much savings annually.
Rem ember, savi ng energy prevents pol l uti on
Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power management
