Managing Device Power

AC adapter

The AC adapter accepts 100-240VAC Input.
A standard US polarized, grounded three-pin plug adapter is included. International plug AC adapters are available for certain regions.

• Use only the AC adapter included with your Tablet PC. Using other AC adapters may damage the device.

Battery Pack
The MD-150 device has one small, permanent, internal battery and one hot- swappable battery. When hot swappable battery has low voltage and needs to be replaced, the built-in small battery will power the tablet for up to 10 minutes.

To charge the Battery Pack:

1. Connect the power cable to the charging port on the device.
2. Connect the power adapter to an electrical outlet and charge the tablet until the battery is fully charged.
3. After your device is fully charged, disconnect the charger from both the device and the electrical outlet.
4. Additional hot-swappable battery can be charged independently of the Tablet PC by placing the battery into a docking station with a battery charging bay (available separately).

NOTE: To prevent damage to batteries, please see Section 8: Safety Battery life naturally degrades over time. Failure to follow instructions for recommended operating temperatures, charge and discharge rates, and other instructions may accelerate battery decay rates. If your tablet battery will not accept or hold a satisfactory charge, it may need to be replaced. For battery storage and charging temperatures, see Section 8: Safety

Checking the Battery Level
To check the battery charge level of the MD-150, you may use the battery monitor within Windows operating system or the voltage gauge of hot swappable battery pack.
When the hot swappable battery pack is not installed in the Tablet PC and you want to know the battery level, press the Battery Test (1) button. The gauge will display the current battery charge level.

• 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.

Hot Swapping the Battery Pack
The MD-150 Tablet PC battery can be replaced without shutting down the tablet or interrupting your work, by use of the built-in battery. The built-in battery can sustain power for up to 10 minutes, during which period the swappable battery must be changed to prevent loss of function.
To swap the battery, lay the tablet on a flat surface, and pull the two tabs indicated towards the edges of the tablet. The battery will pop loose and a replacement can be slid into place.

• The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack is between -10 °C (14 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F).
• Check the Bridge Battery Indicator after unlocking the battery latch. Replace the battery pack only when the indicator lights in green. A red light means the internal bridge battery level is too low for you to safely hot swap the battery pack.
• When the battery latch is unlocked, the display brightness level will be fixed at a low level and cannot be adjusted
• If the hot swappable battery pack is not inserted within 30 minutes, the Tablet PC enters Hibernation mode or may switch off entirely.

Internal Battery
The internal battery is not user-replaceable and is not visible to the operating system. It never functions as the power source as long as the hot swappable battery pack is installed. It enables the hot-swapping function, since it provides power only when the battery pack is removed. The internal battery should not be used to power the tablet during regular operation .

By default, the internal battery is charged by external AC power (if connected) or the main battery pack if it is not fully charged. To preserve battery life, it is possible to set the internal battery to charge only when connected to an AC Power Source.

Using optional features

USING GPS
This device may include an internal GPS module for navigation.Pplease follow the instructions in the specific software for your application for GPS applications. For more details, see Technical Specifications in Appendix A.

• If you want to check whether the GPS hardware is working properly, you may use eController app to test. See Chapter 6: eController App and its Applications.

Using the Digitizer Pen
MD-150 Tablet offers either a standard, passive stylus (Digitizer Pen) or an active stylus.

The standard stylus can be used for writing and selecting elements on the screen. The active stylus works together with a specialized touch sensor panel to support functions like Double Click, Palm Reject, Hover, Accurate Drawing, Legal Signatures, and other special functions. For more details, see Technical Specifications in Appendix A. To use double click function, Tap the desired point on the screen twice in quick succession with the pen. When using the Hover Function, if the stylus is hovered slightly above the screen, a hover indicator will appear.

• In Hover Mode, please keep the pen within 3mm of the touch screen, otherwise the mark might not be displayed in the screen.

1. Palm Rejection Function: when you are writing using an active digitizer, a finger or the palm on the screen won’t produce input, as the screen recognizes a difference between the input from your hand and input from your stylus.
