IMPORTANT: You can put the Tablet PC in either Stand By or Hibernate to swap
the battery:
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, if the battery is overheated, wait
until it cools to room temperature before recharging or replacing it with
another battery.
1. Plug the AC power adapter into the Tablet PC, then into a wall outlet
or power strip. (Completely recharging the battery may take up to
two hours, although the battery reaches an 80% charge in much less
time.)
2. Turn the Tablet PC over to see the battery gauge on the
bottom of the Tablet PC and press the button next to the
battery gauge. If all five LEDs are green, the battery is
fully charged. Or, move the Pen over the Power/Battery
icon to display battery power resources. (The blue area on the battery
icon shrinks as the battery runs down.)
1. If the Tablet PC is running, save all active files.
2. Go to Start>Turn Off Computer.
3. When the Turn Off Computer window appears, press the Shift key on
your external keyboard or tap Shift on the Tablet PC Input Panel key-
board to change the option from Stand By to Hibernate.
• If you choose Stand By, the unit is designed to maintain your system for up to
30 seconds while the battery is swapped. However, you may have less than
30 seconds to swap the battery because of the settings and the programs that
you have running. You should save any data before putting the unit in Stand
By to swap the battery.
• If you choose Hibernate, you have unlimited time to swap the battery.
Hibernate saves the status of the Tablet PC to your Hard Disk Drive so that
you can resume operations later.
4. Tap Hibernate or Stand By. The Tablet PC displays that it is Stand-
ing By or Hibernating.
5. Wait until the system shuts down and all LEDs are off.
6. Push the battery release latch on the bottom of the Tablet PC to eject
the internal battery.
7. Insert the new battery until you hear the latch click, which ensures
the new battery is correctly seated.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the Tablet PC, install only Motion
Computing batteries, which are specially designed for the Tablet PC.
