Charging the main battery

Power management

Your device ships with the power management options
preset to a configuration that will provide the most stable
operating environment and optimum system performance for
both AC power and battery modes.
Charging the main battery
The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to
power the device.
NOTE
To charge the main battery, plug the device into a live
electrical outlet. The battery charges whether the device is
on or off.
When plugged in, the tablet battery will charge first. After the
tablet battery is fully charged the keyboard dock will then
charge. The keyboard dock battery is the first to discharge.
Changes to these settings may result in system
performance or stability issues. Users who are not
completely familiar with the power management
component of the system should use the preset
configuration. For assistance with setup changes,
contact Toshiba's Customer Support Center.
Always use the AC adaptor specified by Toshiba. You
can order a Toshiba AC adaptor from Toshiba's Web site
at accessories.toshiba.com.
Battery charge time may vary depending on the
applications, power management settings, and features
used.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the battery may
not occur when your device is using all of the power
provided by the AC adaptor to run applications, features,
and devices. Your device's Power Options utility can be
used to select a power level setting that reduces the
power required for system operation and will allow the
battery to recharge.
