Recycling the Battery

Please observe local laws and regulations when it comes to recycling the xTablet T1150 and its battery pack.

Conserving Battery Power

Efficient battery power is critical when maintaining a normal operation. If not managed well, the saved data and
customized settings may be lost.
To optimize battery life and avoid sudden losses of power
• Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while
• Shorten the suspend time period
• Turn off the system if not using the T1150 for longer than several hours
• Disable unnecessary settings or remove idle peripherals
• Connect an AD/DC adapter to the system whenever possible

Charging the Battery Pack

The battery pack can recharge when you connect the T1150 to AC power. However, you should observe the following
before you do so:
• You can use the system, suspend system operation, or power down and turn off the system without
interrupting the charging process.
• Because the battery pack uses Lithium-Ion Polymer battery cells with no "memory effect, " you do not need to
discharge the battery before recharging. However, you should consume the battery power completely at least
once a month to optimize the battery life.
• The applications used will determine the actual charging time.

Safety Guidelines

• There is danger of explosion if you replace the battery incorrectly. You should only replace the battery
with the same or equivalent type as recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according
to manufacturer instructions. You can purchase additional batteries through MobileDemand at:

• Always unplug the AC power cord before installing any module to the T1150.

cause safety issues.
