Preparation for use and operation
The notebook battery
The notebook is fitted with a battery (Lithium Ion battery) that provides it with power during mobile
use. You can increase battery life by enabling the system's power management features.
In addition to the notebook standard battery, you can also use a second notebook battery. By using
both notebook batteries, you can double the notebook's mobile operation time.
The notebook battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the display field (see chapter
"Indicators and input
battery status is displayed.
The battery will last for roughly 500 charge/discharge cycles.
To utilize the optimum charging capacity of the battery, you should regularly perform the
i
battery learning cycle (see chapter
Charging, caring for and maintaining the notebook battery
Only use notebook batteries designed for this notebook.
!
The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and max.
40°C.
The notebook battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the display field.
A notebook battery will fully charge in approximately three hours in a notebook that is switched off.
After half the charging time, the battery has already reached a 70 % charge level. A notebook
battery will fully charge in approximately five hours if the notebook is switched on. If the notebook is
fitted with two notebook batteries, charging will take twice as long. The notebook batteries are
charged successively. The battery which was connected first is charged first.
The notebook battery can be charged by:
•
connecting the notebook to the power adapter
•
connecting the notebook to the car adapter
•
connecting the notebook to the QuickPort S
Before a notebook battery is used for the first time, the battery learning cycle should be performed
(see also the section
Work in the battery mode until an acoustic warning signal indicates the need for charging. The
notebook battery should not be charged before this point.
If you do not use the notebook batteries for an extended period of time, remove them
i
from the notebook. Never store the notebook batteries in the unit.
If storing for a long period of time (longer than two months), notebook batteries should be stored in a
charged state of approximately 50%. After six months, at the latest, you should run a learning cycle
with the batteries again. If you store the batteries up to two months, the charge status of the
batteries must be approximately 30%. The notebook batteries should be stored in a dry environment
in temperatures between +10°C and +25°C.
