Using battery power

WARNING!
The Slate runs on battery power whenever it is not plugged into external power. Slate battery life
varies, depending on power management settings, running programs, display brightness, external
devices connected to the Slate, and other factors.
If the Slate contains a charged battery and the Slate is running on external AC power supplied
through the AC adapter, the Slate switches to battery power if the AC adapter is disconnected from
the Slate.
NOTE: When you disconnect AC power, the display brightness is automatically decreased to save
battery life. For information on increasing or decreasing display brightness, refer to The Basics guide.
