Algiz 10XB Manual Part 2: Using ALGIZ 10XB 13 handheld Algiz 10XB Manual Before turning the unit on, make sure that the tablet is either connected to AC power or the battery. AC Power The ALGIZ 10XB 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 10XB. Your ALGIZ 10XB 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 10XB is designed to work with two types of battery. A standard battery with 5300mAh and an extended battery with double the capacity. A fully charged battery pack will provide several hours of battery life. Among other factors, the battery life is especially dependent on the battery’s condition, tablet usage, as well as the temperature. 14 handheld Algiz 10XB Manual Insertion of the Battery Pack Removal of the Battery Pack Caution Please fully charge the battery in advance of operating ALGIZ 10XB for the first time. New battery packs must be 100% charged before ALGIZ 10XB is disconnected from the external power source. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when ALGIZ 10XB is turned off. 15 handheld Algiz 10XB Manual Charging the Battery Before you use your Handheld tablet PC, you need to charge the battery. The battery begins to charge as soon as the Handheld tablet PC is connected to the external power source. Please fully charge the batteries before using them for the first time. The new battery should be fully charged before the tablet PC is disconnected from the external power source. The battery pack is fully charged when the battery LED indicator turns OFF. It takes about a couple of hours to fully charge the battery when the Handheld tablet PC is turned OFF. Battery Care The Handheld tablet battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number of times it can be fully recharged. Fully draining and charging the battery once a day will allow the batteries to last for over a year, but rechargeable time limits are based on the ambient temperature, humidity and how your tablet PC is used. The ideal ambient temperature range is between 10°C and 29°C (50°F and 85°F). Battery Power System This tablet PC is designed to work with one removable battery pack placed inside the battery pack compartment. A fully charged battery pack will provide several hours of battery life, which can be extended further by configuring power management in Windows. 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.

Charging the battery pack with the system’s power off is recommended. 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. Avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the ALGIZ 10XB is in Standby mode. Charging time will be prolonged when the ALGIZ 10XB is turned on. • No debris, combustibles or chemicals should be allowed near the battery while charging. Extra caution is required when charging the battery in non‐commercial conditions. • The battery should only be used in accordance with the instructions for use, storage and recharging as set out by this manual. • Improper use of the battery may result in fire or explosion. • Do not use incompatible batteries or chargers. The use of incompatible batteries or chargers may result in risks such as fire, explosion, leaks, etc. If you have any questions about batteries or the charger, contact Handheld. • Do not attempt to disassemble, open, bend, modify, puncture or smash the product or the battery. • If you drop the device hard on a solid surface, the battery may overheat. • Extra care must be taken to avoid short circuiting, connect a metal conductor to the battery terminals. • Special attention must be paid to avoid modification, resetting, inserting foreign bodies into the battery, exposing the battery to water or other liquids, fire, explosion and other risks. • Do not allow children to handle the battery unsupervised. • Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. • Do not burn the battery. • If the battery has been swallowed, immediately contact a doctor. • If the battery leaks, be careful not to allow the fluid to come into contact with skin or eyes.
