Caring for the Computer
Taking good care of your computer ensures trouble-free operation and also reduces the
risk of damage to your computer.
This chapter gives you guidelines covering these areas of maintenance:
How to protect the computer.
What to note when using and storing the computer.
How to clean the computer.
What to note when using the battery pack.
What to note when traveling with the computer.
Caring for the Computer
7-1
Protecting the Computer
To safeguard the integrity of your computer data as well as the computer itself, you can
protect the computer in several ways as described in this section.
Using the Password
The power-on password protects your computer against unauthorized use. If the
password is set, the prompt requesting for the password appears on the screen whenever
the computer is turned on.
The password is set via the SCU program. See “Security Settings” in Chapter 5 for
instructions.
Using an Anti-Virus Strategy
The Security feature of the SCU program protects the boot sector of the hard disk from
virus attacks..
It is recommended that you install a virus-detecting program to keep your computer
secure from potential viruses that could damage your files and system.
7-2
Caring for the Computer
Taking Care of the Computer
Location Guidelines
Use the computer where the temperature is between -20 °C (-4 °F) and 50 °C (122
°F).
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme
temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For example, do
not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise,
overheating may occur which could result in damage to the computer.
Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that
can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large
audio speaker.
Do not move the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature
difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) will cause condensation inside the unit, which
may damage the storage media.
Do not place the computer on an unsteady surface.
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer as this may damage the display.
The screen surface can be easily scratched. Do not use paper towels to clean the
display. Avoid touching it with a ballpoint pen or pencil.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, use the system’s power
management feature to automatically turn off the backlight. Avoid using a screen
saver or other software that prevents the power management from working.
Cleaning Guidelines
Never clean the computer with its power on.
Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the exterior
of the computer.
Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or detergent on
the display.
Dust or grease on the touchscreen can affect its sensitivity. Clean the touchscreen
by using adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface.
Caring for the Computer

Battery Pack Guidelines
Optimal Use of the ML910 RUGGED NOTEBOOK Battery
The battery is a consumable product and its performance will gradually degrade based
on usage. To minimize battery degradation and ensure longer life, limit the number of
charges and ensure the battery is not exposed to high ambient temperatures. If
possible, the battery pack should only be recharged when it is nearly fully discharged.
It is recommended to store the battery removed from the ML910™RUGGED NOTEBOOK
with a nominal charge to prevent over-discharge. A full charge is recommended if the
battery is to be stored in the ML910™RUGGED NOTEBOOK.
For optimal use, users should avoid the following:
• Use on battery power for short periods of time then repeatedly charging
• Using or storing in a place with high temperature.
Charging
Charge and discharge time will differ depending on the computer’s power status and
temperature. Battery charging time increases when the computer’s power is on and is
also dependent on the battery’s temperature. To charge the battery more quickly,
power off the computer or place it in the standby or the hibernation mode. Battery
charging time also increases when in low or high temperature environments below
10ºC, (50ºF) or above 30ºC (86ºF). During normal charging (between 32ºF and 113ºF)
the battery indicator will glow amber. When full the indicator will glow green. The
ML910™’s battery will not be charged if its temperature is outside the allowable range
of 0º to 45ºC (32ºF to 113ºF). During this condition, the battery indicator will not be
illuminated.
• The battery should be charged in a temperature range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to
95°F).
When the outside air temperature is high (35ºC or above), the temperature inside the
battery will be higher. Avoid charging the battery where the temperature is high, such
as inside a vehicle, with all its windows closed and/or exposed to the hot sun or other
places where the ambient temperature is high. Although the battery can also be
charged down to 0ºC, the charging time will be greatly increased and the battery
capacity will be greatly reduced.
• It is not recommended to charge the battery more than once per day.
Constant recharging of the battery after every use accelerates battery degradation.
To increase battery life it is recommended to recharge the battery no more than once
per day or when the remaining charge drops below 20%. To increase battery life, the
computer will not charge the battery immediately after it has been fully charged unless
the remaining charge has fallen to less than 95%
• If possible, charge the battery while the computer is powered off.
When the computer’s power is on, the temperature inside the battery will increase due
to the heat generated by the internal electronic components. Charging the battery at
higher temperatures will degrade the battery more quickly. It is highly recommended
7-4
Caring for the Computer
that you charge the battery while the computer is powered off. This allows for faster
charging, less degradation, and longer battery life.
Maximizing Battery Operation Time
• Leave the computer off when not in use!
• Decrease the internal LCD brightness by pressing FN + F5
Pressing Fn + F5 will lower the degree of brightness, thereby reducing the power
consumption.
• Before stepping away from your computer, place it in standby or hibernation
mode
Standby or hibernation mode will reduce power consumption.
• To select Power Options: Click: [Start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and
Maintenance] - [Power Options], and select the desired power-saving setting.
• Motorola recommends against using screen savers or applications that place
a significant load on the CPU
Some screen savers and applications place a large load on the CPU, producing a
significant decrease in battery runtime even when the computer is not being used.
• If possible remove unnecessary peripheral devices (USB devices, PC Cards,
external mouse, etc.) when not in use.
• For all other power-saving settings, please refer to the Power Management
information in this section of the User Guide.
Storage and Non Use for Extended Periods
When the computer is not in use for an extended period (10 days or more):
• Remove the battery from the computer with a remaining charge of 30% to 45%,
and then store it in a cool, dark and dry place.
If the battery pack is kept installed in the computer, it will discharge steadily even when
the computer’s power is off. If this condition continues for a long period (10 days or
more), the battery may over discharge, causing performance degradation. In addition,
this degradation will accelerate if the unit is stored in any high temperature
environment such as inside a vehicle with windows closed, exposed to direct sun or in
any other environment where the temperature is high. Store the unit with battery pack
where the temperature is within the range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Never allow
the temperature to exceed 60°C (140°F) or permanent damage may occur.
If the battery has been stored out of the notebook computer, longer than 60 days, it
should be checked for remaining charge condition. If below 20% remaining charge, the
battery should be charged up to 30 to 45% before placing it back in storage.
Caring for the Computer
7-5
Removal of the Battery Pack
• Do not install or remove while the computer is on or connected to external
power.
CAUTION:
Removal of the battery pack with power on may present a dangerous condition and may cause
the computer to malfunction or permanent damage to the battery.
• If you remove or store the battery pack, make sure the battery terminals do
not contact any conductors such as metal objects or water. Otherwise the
battery may become unusable as a result of a short circuit.
• Do not touch or attempt to clean the terminals. If battery terminals are dirty or
damaged the battery may not function properly or the computer may not
operate properly. Properly dispose of the dirty or damaged battery and obtain
a new one.
Battery Charge Status and Battery Calibration
The battery pack has built-in functions to measure, store and display the battery
charge status. As the battery pack is used over a long period of time, the remaining
capacity display may become inaccurate due to aging of the battery pack, usage, and
other factors. To display the remaining battery charge accurately, the Battery
Calibration function will automatically check the state of the battery, and then
discharge it to the appropriate level for calibration. A one hour rest period is then
necessary. (AC or external power must stay connected during the preceding steps).
After the rest period, the battery will fully charge as long as the AC power or external
power is still applied. This procedure will be performed once after initial setup and
every 30-45 days thereafter depending on the usage setting, mostly vehicle or mostly
office.
NOTE:
1. A full charge is not necessary for successful completion of the calibration.
2. Battery Calibration does not increase the battery’s capacity; it only allows the battery to recalibrate and report
its full capacity, accurately.
7-6
Caring for the Computer
When Traveling
Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard disk data into
optical discs or other storage devices. As an added precaution, bring along an extra
copy of your important data.
Make sure the battery pack is fully charged.
Make sure the computer is turned off.
Do not leave objects that will press onto the display.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the computer and take it with you. Use the AC
adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger.
Hand-carry the computer. Do not check it in as luggage.
Allow extra time for airport security. Many airports inspect electronic devices
carefully.
When going through airport security, it is recommended that you send the computer
and USB disks through the X-ray machine (the device you set your bags on). Avoid
the magnetic detector (the device you walk through) or the magnetic wand (the
hand-held device used by security personnel).
If you plan to travel abroad with your computer, consult your dealer for the
appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of destination.
