Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, your Tablet
PC will beep every 15 seconds and the Battery
Level indicator will flash. If you do not respond
to the low battery alarm, the batteries will
continue to discharge until they are too low to
operate. When this happens there will be a
multiple beep alarm and the Battery Level
indicator will show a dead battery. Your Tablet
PC will then go into Standby mode to try and
protect your data for as long as possible. There
is no guarantee that your data will not be lost
once the Tablet PC your data will not be lost
once the Tablet PC reaches this point.
You may not be able to hear the alarm
if the volume control is set too low or is
turned off by the hardware or software.

your data and put your Tablet PC into
Standby mode until you can provide a
new power source. You should provide a
charged battery or AC Adapter as soon
as possible.
When you are in Standby mode there
must always be at least one power source
active. If you remove all power sources
while your Tablet PC is in Standby mode,
any data that has not been saved to the
hard drive will be lost.
User-Installable Features
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the
Status indicator just like the normal Standby
mode. Once your Tablet PC goes into Dead
Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to
resume operation until you provide a source
of power either from an adapter, or a charged
battery. Once you have provided power, you will
need to press the Suspend/Resume button to
resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend
mode, your data can be maintained for some
time, but if a power source is not provided
promptly, the Power indicator will stop fiashing
and go out, meaning that you have lost the data
that was not stored. Once you provide power,
you can continue to use your Tablet PC while an
adapter is charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside
the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator
to display the operating level available in that
battery. If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it
means that the battery is damaged and must be
replaced so it does not damage any other parts
of your Tablet PC.
