Using The Battery - Epson ActionNote 650 User Manual

The compact AC adapter included with your computer is
designed to operate in 100-250 VAC ranges with a frequency of
47-63 Hz. If you use the AC adapter in a foreign country, be
sure to use the correct plug adapter to fit the electrical outlet.
To connect the AC adapter, see the instructions in Chapter 1.
The adapter's power light comes on and the computer's AC
Power icon appears in the System Window. The Battery
Charging and Battery Status icons also appear to show you the
charging status of the battery. See page 3-5 for more
information on these icons.

Using the Battery

The removable NiMH battery powers the computer when the
AC adapter is not connected. The battery provides from 4 to
6 hours of power for monochrome LCD models and from 2.5 to
4 hours for color LCD models when you use the computer's
power management features.
Caution
Use only the NiMH battery designed for use with this
computer (model number 10HR-4/3AU).
The length of time the battery provides power depends on how
you use the computer. It consumes more battery power if you
use a bright screen display, access the hard disk and diskette
drive often, or if you are using a PC card or the built-in serial
port.
To increase the amount of time you can use the computer
without the AC adapter, you can keep a supply of charged
batteries. This allows you to replace a spent battery and
continue your work.
