How to Manage Power Supply
This section provides users basic safety precautions to take when using an AC/DC adapter
and battery power properly.
AC/DC Adapter
Ensure that your notebook is connected to an AC power source via the AC adapter before
turning it on for the first time. If the notebook automatically shuts down due to low battery
power, it is likely to cause system failure. Below are some Dos and Don'ts of an AC/DC
adapter.
▶Dos
• Use the adapter that shipped with your notebook only.
• Always be aware of heat coming from the in use AC/DC adapter.
• Unplug the AC power cord before disassembly the notebook.
▶Don'ts
• Cover an in-use adapter since it can generate heat.
• Have the AC power cord plugged after powering off the system when the
notebook is going to be left unused for a longer time.
1. Take up the interchangeable plug and look for the groove on the interchangeable
plug which can be used for locking on the AC/DC adapter. Then align the groove of
the interchangeable plug on the tenon of the AC/DC adapter with correct orientation.
Next, rotate the interchangeable plug 90 degrees clockwise until it is fixed on the
AC/DC adapter.
2. Plug the DC end of the AC/DC adapter into the DC-in jack of the Tablet PC.
3. Then plug the AC/DC adapter into the power outlet.
4. When remove, please follow the steps 3 2 1.
(NOTE:The interchangeable plug may vary depending on countries or regions.)

Battery
Please follow your local laws and regulations to recycle the Tablet and battery pack.
▶Conserving Battery Power
Efficient battery power is critical to maintain a normal operation. If the battery power is not
managed well, the saved data and customized settings may be lost.
To optimize battery life and avoid a sudden power loss, read the tips below:
• Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while or shorten the
suspend time period.
• Turn off the system if you won’t be using it for a period of time.
• Disable unnecessary settings or remove idle peripherals.
• Connect an AC/DC adapter to the system whenever possible.
▶Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack can be recharged when the Tablet PC is connected to the AC power.
Please pay attention to the following tips before recharging the battery:
• You can use the system, suspend system operation or shut down and turn off the
system without interrupting the charging process.
• The battery pack uses Lithium-ion Polymer battery cells that have no “memory
effect.” It is unnecessary to discharge the battery before recharging. However,
to optimize the life of battery, we suggest that consuming the battery power
completely once a month is necessary.
• The actual charging time will be determined by the applications in use.
▶Safety guidelines
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same
or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries
according to manufacturer's instruction.
• Always keep the Tablet PC and its battery away from excessive moisture and
extreme temperatures.
• Always unplug the AC power cord before installing any module to the Tablet PC.
(NOTE:Pleasedonotcharge batteryintemperaturebelow0 ℃orabove45 ℃ , itmay
cause safety issue.)
