Charging the battery. When the Tablet PC (with a standard battery) is connected
to AC power, the battery automatically charges until it reaches full charge, even
while the Tablet PC is being used.
If two batteries (standard battery and extended battery) are attached, the extended
battery discharges first, then the standard battery discharges. When both batteries
are recharging, the standard battery charges first, followed by the extended battery.
The charging sequence is staggered to ensure that both batteries become fully
charged at nearly the same time. The standard battery charges to the 95% level,
followed by the extended battery charging to the 95% level. Then each battery
charges for a short interval until both reach 100%.
The Battery Status indicator light is on the Tablet PC flashes amber when the
battery is at a critically low level and changes to solid amber while charging. When
the battery is fully charged, the Battery Status indicator light is solid blue.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, keep the battery within the
recommended temperature range when charging it. Wait until it
cools to room temperature before recharging it in the Tablet PC or
the battery charger. For more information, see the Safety and
Regulatory Guide included with your Tablet PC or the
documentation that came with the battery charger. Or go to
www.motioncomputing.com/support to view these documents.
To charge the battery:
1. Plug the AC adapter into the Tablet PC.
2. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. (Completely recharg-
ing the battery may take up to two hours, although the battery reaches an
95% charge in much less time.)
Swapping the battery. You can swap the Standard Battery while the system is
powered on, with or without having the Tablet PC plugged into an AC power outlet.
1. If the Tablet PC is running, put the Tablet PC in Stand By mode. You can
set the Power switch to automatically enable Stand By mode by opening
the Motion Dashboard and then using Power panel > Power Buttons >
Stand By. The Tablet PC immediately goes into the Stand By state.
2. Alternatively, go to Start > Turn Off Computer.
3. Do one of the following:
• If you are logged on to a domain: When the Turn Off
Computer window appears, tap Stand By or Hibernate from
the drop-down list.
• If you are not logged on to a domain: Press the Shift key on
your external keyboard or tap Shift on the TIP on-screen
keyboard to change the option from Stand By to Hibernate.
NOTE: Here are some key differences between putting the
Tablet PC in Stand By or Hibernate mode to swap the battery:
• If you choose Stand By, the Tablet PC is designed to maintain
your system for up to 30 seconds while you swap the battery.
• However, you may have less than 30 seconds if you are
running a number of programs that drain power faster.
• You should save any data before putting the system in Stand
By to swap the battery.
• Choosing Hibernate gives you more time to swap the battery.
