Chapter 4 — Power Management 34 Power Management Checking the Battery Level You can check the remaining battery power in the Windows® battery status indicator located at the lower right-hand corner of the task tray. The Battery Status icon only appears in the task tray while the unit is running on the battery power but not while the unit is running off an external power source through the AC adaptor. Battery Power Indicator Monitoring Battery Power There are two ways to monitor how much power the battery has left. 1. Click Start / Settings / Control Panel / Power Options ; then click Power Meter. 2. Moving the cursor to the battery icon on the taskbar is the simplest way to check on battery power status. If you do not see the battery icon, enable it in Start / Settings / Control Panel / Power Options . Choose the Advanced tab and click “Always show icon on the taskbar.” Low Battery Alarms How your Tablet PC responds to a low battery condition is set under Start / Settings / Control Panel / Power Options / Alarms. Two different power alarms can be enabled or disabled: the Low Battery Alarm, and the Critical Battery Alarm.
Power Management — Power Management 35 Warning: When battery power is low, the battery indicator will flash red, and the alarm will display a warning on your screen. Take immediate action, such as saving files or connecting to the AC adapter, or data may be lost. Battery Charging When you use the AC adapter to connect your Tablet PC to a power outlet, the internal battery will automatically begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the Indicator panel will be active after 6~12 seconds. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge icon will turn off. If your Tablet PC is turned off, a fully discharged battery will take about 3 hours to recharge. If your computer is turned on and is not in suspend mode, it twill take about 6~13 hours to recharge the battery. Refer to the following table: Charging Discharging System On 6~13 hours 3.5 hours System Off (suspend to RAM) 3 hours — Note: A fully charged Li-Ion battery can run the Tablet PC for approximately 3.5 hours. (According to Battery Mark benchmark tests）
Chapter 4 — Power Management 36 When to Replace the Battery Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to store significantly less charge. Changing the Battery Change the main battery pack as follows:1. Turn off the Tablet PC. 2. To replace the Battery remove the screw and the Battery Bay Cover shown right 3. Make sure the replacement battery is properly orientated. Then insert the battery into the battery compartment. Check that the latch locks back into position. Heat Considerations The Tablet PC processor has been specially designed to consume little power, and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature. Your Tablet PC takes the following steps to lower temperature: 1. The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You may feel air coming from a vent at the left side when this happens. 2. If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this happens. Warning:If the operating temperature exceeds 35 oC, the system will shut down to prevent the heat from damaging the computer’s infrastructure. When the computer cools to a normal temperature you can restart the system. The higher the temperature of the environment, the longer the period the computer will need to cool down.
Power Management — Using Software 37 Using Software Touch Screen Calibration The touch screen is a thin membrane on the top of the LCD display that responds to mechanical pressure on the screen’s surface. The cursor on the screen is controlled using the stylus. If you notice the stylus tip touch-point not matching up with the cursor, you can recalibrate the touch screen. Calibrating the Touch Screen 1. Click the Windows® Start button > Control Panel > Switch to Classic View > Tablet and Pen Settings. Under the Setting tab, click Calibrate and follow the on-screen instructions shown below.
Chapter 4 — Power Management 38 2. Click the stylus in the middle of the crosshairs. The wheel moves to another location on-screen. 3. Repeat the exercise as above several times until the screen returns to the Calibration Applet 4. Click OK, The recalibration tales place immediately upon exciting the application. No need to restart the Tablet PC. Screen Rotation To rotate the screen the screen form Portrait to Landscape mode or vice versa, press the Rotate button on the front of the Tablet PC.

Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions. Canadian Department of Communications This class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-causing Equipment Regulations. About the Modem The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction. Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside writing associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
