charging. If the battery is already full, the sense circuitry will stop high
current charge within several minutes.
There are two LED indicators next to the power indicator for the Primary
and Secondary battery respectively. Indicator turns ON when the battery
is charging and turns OFF when the battery charging is completed.
To charge the Secondary battery, simply install it into the computer and
attach the AC adapter. The internal charger will charge the Primary
battery first. The Secondary battery will be charged once the Primary
battery charges full. Optional Dual Battery Charger can charge the
Primary and Secondary batteries externally.

Battery Charging Notice
The followings are the detailed information for charging the Primary and
Secondary batteries under AC and DC modes:
AC mode:
z When the Power Status is changed and AC mode is detected, the
Primary battery will be charged.
z Until the Primary Battery is finished charging, then it will continue to
charge the Secondary Battery fully also.
z When batteries are all full, the EC (embedded controller) will be
turned off.
z If there is no Power Status change, until the capacity is down below
90%, a natural discharging occurs, and then recharge again.
DC mode:
z When DC mode is detected, it will discharge the Secondary Battery
until the capacity is below 10%, and then switch to the Primary
Battery for continuing discharging.
z When the capacity of the Primary Battery is below 10%, the Low
Battery LED will flash.

Battery Power Saving Tips
The computer comes with an intelligent power-saving feature. You may
extend the battery life by:
z Setup power saving functions in Operating System Power Management
options (e.g. Windows Power Options).
z Lower the intensity of the display by brightness control.
z Use standby option when computer is temporarily not in use.
z Shut down the computer when it will not be for a long-time use.
Replacing Battery
When the battery is nearly exhausted, there are two ways to keep your
handheld computer working. Connect the AC adapter and the power cord
designed for this handheld computer to start charging is one method;
directly replace a charged battery designed for this handheld computer may
be the other one.
Power Conservation
This computer consumes much less power than conventional computers.
However, power consumption may be reduced by configuring the Power
Management Setup properly.
It is recommended the power saving functions to be enabled even when not
running on battery power. Power Management will not degrade performance
while saving power.
Note:
¾ Always remember to turn OFF the power before replacing the
battery.
