PART 2:
USING ALGIZ 10X
12
Before turning the unit on, make sure that the tablet is either connected to AC power or the battery.
AC Power
The ALGIZ 10X power supply is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery. The power
adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the ALGIZ 10X. Your ALGIZ 10X
comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect the power cord to any 100V-120V
as well as 220V-240V outlets without using power converters. Different countries may require an adapter to be
used to connect the supplied standard AC power cord to a different standard.
Battery Power
The ALGIZ 10X is designed to work with two types of battery. A standard battery with 5300mAh and an
extended battery with double the capacity.The battery life is especially dependent on the battery’s condition,
tablet usage, as well as the temperature.

14
Charging the Battery
When the power adapter is plugged in, the battery automatically recharges regardless of whether your tablet
PC is in the ON or OFF mode. It takes a couple of hours for the battery to be fully charged when the power is
OFF and twice as long when the tablet PC is in use. When the charger LED indicator lights up orange,
charging is required. The battery is charging when the red LED is permanently on. When the LED turns OFF,
the battery pack is fully charged.
CAUTION: If unit is kept in storage for longer periods of time (6 months) without it being used, the hotswap battery might enter
deep discharge, meaning it will no longer function as expected.
To prevent this,please make sure to, every 5-6 months, equip the unit with a standard or extended battery and connect ac
charger. Power it on and leave it be for atleast 2 hours to fully charge the hotswap battery.
Power Supply
The power for the Handheld rugged tablet PC is supplied by the power adapter and battery pack, the power
rating and manufacturer information are listed as below. For safety reasons, the adapter must be connected to
