The Battery Pack
Note: Make sure the
battery is fully
charged before
using.
Note: In the Standby
suspend mode, a
fully charged battery
loses its power in
roughly 1/2 ~ 1 day.
When kept in
storage, the battery`s
power will deplete in
1-2 month.
Note: Do not touch
the metal ends of the
battery connector.
Warning:
Do not expose
battery packs to
temperatures below
0 degree Celsius (32
degree F) or above
60 degree C (140F).

affect the battery
pack.
In this section, you will learn how to operate your tablet PC on
battery power, how to handle and maintain the battery pack, and
learn about Windows` power saving features.
TFT display, central processor, hard disk drive are the major
hardware subsystems that consume the most power. Power
management deals how these key components should behave to
conserve power. For example, you can have the system turn off
its display after 2 minutes of inactivity to save power. Efficient
power management can help you work longer sessions before
having to recharge the battery.
When the notebook operates on battery power, the Battery LED
indicator will be on.
