Chapter 3 CHAPTERManaging Power Your tablet PC operates either on external AC power or on battery power. This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the proper way. The topics in this chapter include: z What is an AC adapter z How to charge the battery pack z When to initialize the battery pack z How to check the battery level z How to replace the battery pack z What happens when the battery is low and what actions to take z What is Power Management z How to save power Managing Power 3-1
AC Adapter CAUTION: z The AC adapter is designed for use with your tablet PC only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. z The AC power cord supplied with your tablet PC is for use in the country where you purchased your tablet PC. If you plan to go overseas with the tablet PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. z When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or tablet PC. z When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord. The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your tablet PC runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power. The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC. 3-2 Managing Power
Battery Pack The battery pack is the internal power source for the tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the “Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter 7. Charging the Battery Pack NOTE: During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery. To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the tablet PC and an electrical outlet. The Battery Status Indicator ( ) on the tablet PC glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the tablet PC power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Status Indicator glows green. The charging times are as follows: Charging Time Battery Type Computer is Off Computer is On and in Idle State 2S1P × 2 5~80 % 3.5 hours 5~100 % 5.5 hours 5~80 % 3.5 hours 5~100 % 5.5 hours 2S2P × 2 5~80 % 5 hours 5~100 % 7 hours 5~80 % 5 hours 5~100 % 7 hours CAUTION: After the tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage the battery. NOTE: The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge process (0.21 % per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100 %). This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the tablet PC. Managing Power 3-3
Initializing the Battery Pack You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours. Checking the Battery Level NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the tablet PC. You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function of the operating system. To read the battery level, click the icon on the system tray icon if the tablet PC is using AC power. Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION: z There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the tablet PC manufacturer’s optional battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealer’s instructions. z Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. If you often rely on battery power for a long period of time while traveling, you may consider the purchase of an additional battery pack from your dealer and keep it with you in a fully charged state as a backup. To replace the battery pack, follow these steps: 1. Make sure that the tablet PC is not turned on or connected to AC power. 2. Place the tablet PC upside down. 3. Use the included stylus and remove the rubber cap at its end to expose the screwdriver. 3-4 Managing Power
4. Remove the two screws securing the battery pack to the tablet PC and lift the battery pack off the tablet PC. Do the same for the other side battery pack. Managing Power 3-5
5. Fit another battery pack into place and secure with two screws. Do the same for the other side battery pack. Battery Low Signals and Actions The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery so that you can see how much charge remains (Windows default setting). When the battery charge is above 25 % the battery icon is green. When the battery charge reaches 25 % a yellow triangle with an exclamation point (!) appears above the green battery icon. When the charge reaches the low battery level a red circle with a white “X” appears above the green icon. The computer’s Battery Status Indicator ( ) blinks red to alert you to take actions. Immediately save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating time depends on how you are using the computer. If you are using the audio subsystem, ExpressCard, hard or USB flash disk, the battery might run out of charge very quickly. 3-6 Managing Power
Managing Power 3-7 Always respond to Battery Low by placing your computer on Hibernation mode, turning off the computer, or connecting the AC adapter. CAUTION: z If you are using an ExpressCard, do not access the card during battery low periods. This is because the access may take longer than the time it takes the battery to run out of charge, thus making your access to the card unsuccessful. z If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out of charge, then you lose your data.
Power Management Your tablet PC supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving. With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows Vista, power supply to different tablet PC components is controlled on an as-needed basis. This allows maximum power conservation and performance at the same time. In general, Windows’ power management works in this way: What... When... Power to the hard disk is turned off When the hard disk has been idle for a set period. Power to the display is turned off When the display has been idle for a set period. The tablet PC enters the Sleep mode. The hard disk and display are turned off and the entire system consumes less power. When the entire system has been idle for a set period. When you press the power button. * The tablet PC enters the Hibernation mode. (See the next subsection for more information.) When the entire system has been idle for a set period When you press the power button. * * Depends on your settings in Windows. For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help. 3-8 Managing Power
Managing Power 3-9 Hibernation NOTE: Make sure that the hibernation feature is enabled in the “When I press the power button,” “When I press the sleep button,” and “When I close the lid” of the Power Options Æ System Settings Properties from the Control Panel Æ Mobile PC. Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many applications when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed before the computer can be turned off. When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the applications. The tablet PC stores the state of your tablet PC to a file on the hard disk and then shuts down. The next time you turn on your tablet PC, you return to exactly where you left off.
Power-Saving Tips Aside from enabling your tablet PC’s power saving mode (see previous section), you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by following these suggestions. z Do not disable Power Management. Choose a power plan that saves power. A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that control how your computer manages power. z Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level. z Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display. z Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the touchpad. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it. z Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the stylus. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it. z If you work with an application that uses an ExpressCard, exit the application when you finish using it. z If you have an ExpressCard installed, remove it when not in use. Some ExpressCards drain power even while they are inactive. z Deactivate the Wireless LAN function if you are not using it. z Deactivate the Bluetooth wireless feature if you are not using it. z Turn off the tablet PC when you are not using it. 3-10 Managing Power
