Chapter 3

Managing Power

Your Tablet PC operates either on external AC power or on internal 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.
17

AC Adapter
CAUTION: The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only. Connecting
the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. 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. 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. 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 V ­ 240 V AC.
18

Battery Pack
Your Tablet PC has two battery packs. The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter.
CAUTION: Always keep both battery packs installed, especially when the Tablet PC is running on battery power. A battery pack can be removed only when it is not being charged/discharged or if you are hot-swapping the battery pack.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE: Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is outside the allowed range,
which is between 0 C (32 F) and 50 C (122 F). Once the battery’s temperature meets the requirements, charging automatically resumes. During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery. The battery has a high temperature protection mechanism which limits the maximum charge of the battery to 80% of its total capacity in the event of high temperature conditions. In such conditions, the battery will be regarded as fully charged at 80% capacity. The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self- discharge process, even when the battery pack is fully charged. This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the Tablet PC.
To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an electrical outlet. The Battery Charge 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 Charge Indicator glows green.
The two battery packs are charged in sequence (Battery 1 first and then Battery 2). It takes approximately 5 hours to fully charge the two battery packs when the power is off and approximately 6 hours when the power is on (may need a longer charging time at lower temperatures).
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.
19

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. The G-Manager program provides a tool called “Battery Recalibration” for the purpose. (See “The OSD (On Screen Display) Control Panel provides a userfriendly interface for you to quickly activate or operate certain functions on your Tablet PC with a simple tap of the screen. To open the OSD Control Panel, start the program named OSDC. The following screen appears.
For detailed information on the program, see the program’s online help. G-Manager” in Chapter 6.)
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.
20

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.
The two battery packs are discharged in parallel.
By Operating System
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, tap the battery icon on the taskbar.
By Gas Gauge
On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the estimated battery charge. When the battery pack is not installed in the Tablet PC and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the push-button to see the number of LEDs that light up. Each LED represents 20% charge.

40

Taking Care of the Tablet PC
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use the Tablet PC where the recommended temperature is between 0 C (32 F) and 55 C (131 F). (Actual operating temperature depends on product specifications.)
Avoid placing the Tablet PC in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using in extreme environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and a shortened product life.
Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed.
Place the Tablet PC on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the Tablet PC on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by dropping or hitting may damage the Tablet PC.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the Tablet PC. For example, do not place the Tablet PC on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the Tablet PC.
As the Tablet PC can become very hot during operation, keep it away from objects that are vulnerable to heat.
Keep the Tablet PC 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.
Avoid moving the Tablet PC abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature difference of more than 10 C (18 F) may cause condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC as this may damage the display.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with any sharp object.
41

LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by limiting the amount of static content on the display. It is recommended that you use a screen saver or turn off the display when it is not in use.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management.
Cleaning Guidelines
Never clean the Tablet PC with its power on.
Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the Tablet PC.
Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth.
If water or liquid is split onto the Tablet PC, wipe it dry and clean when possible. Though your Tablet PC is water-proof, do not leave the Tablet PC wet when you can dry it.
If the Tablet PC gets wet where the temperature is 0C (32F) or below, freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet Tablet PC.
Battery Pack Guidelines
Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to the battery pack.
The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will shorten its life: ­ when frequently charging the battery pack ­ when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature condition
To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to frequently increase its internal temperature.
Charge the battery pack between 10 C ~ 30 C (50 F ~ 86 F) temperature range. A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed vehicle
42

and in hot weather condition. Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is not within the allowed temperature range.
It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than once a day.
It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the Tablet PC’s power off.
To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool dark place removed from the Tablet PC and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge remaining.
Important guidelines when using the battery pack. When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the following: ­ avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the Tablet PC is in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause loss of data or the Tablet PC may become unstable. ­ avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur, thereby causing improper operation to it or the Tablet PC. The Tablet PC’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly affect the battery pack’s charge and discharge time: ­ charging time will be prolonged when the Tablet PC is turned on. To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the Tablet PC in Sleep or Hibernation mode. ­ a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten the discharge time.
When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you may experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 C ~ 50 C (14 F ~ 122 F).
Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than six months without recharging it.
Touchscreen Guidelines
Use the finger or the included stylus on the display. Using a sharp or metallic object other than your finger or stylus may cause scratches and damage the display, thereby causing errors.
Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a
43

soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen surface. Turn off the Tablet PC power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the display with the power on may cause improper operation. Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display. In low and high temperatures (below 5 oC / 41 F and above 60 oC / 140 F), the touchscreen may have a slower response time or register the touch in the wrong location. It will go back to normal after returning to room temperature. When there is noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen function (wrong location on intended operation or improper display resolution), refer to the Windows online Help for instructions on recalibrating the touchscreen display.
44

When Traveling
Before traveling with your Tablet PC, make a backup of your hard disk data into flash disks or other storage devices. As an added precaution, bring along an extra copy of your important data.
Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Make sure that the Tablet PC is turned off. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure the
waterproof integrity. Disconnect the AC adapter from the Tablet PC and take it with you. Use the
AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger. Hand-carry the Tablet PC. Do not check it in as luggage. If you need to leave the Tablet PC in the car, put it in the trunk of the car to
avoid exposing the Tablet PC to excessive heat. When going through airport security, it is recommended that you send the
Tablet PC and flash 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 handheld device used by security personnel). If you plan to travel abroad with your Tablet PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of destination.

Your device may become very warm during normal use. It complies with the user- accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standards for Safety. Still, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. To reduce potential heat-related concerns, follow these guidelines: Keep your device and its AC adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or
charging. Allow for adequate air circulation under and around the device. Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with
your device or its AC adapter when it’s operating or connected to a power source. For example, don’t sleep with your device or its AC adapter, or place it under a blanket or pillow, and avoid contact between your body and your device when the AC adapter is connected to a power source. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body. If your device is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the temperature may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the device for a long time, for example if you rest the device on your lap, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury. If your device is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable work surface. Never place your device or AC adapter on furniture or any other surface that might be marred by exposure to heat since the base of your device and the surface of the AC adaptor may increase in temperature during normal use.
