Battery & Power Properties - ViewSonic V212 User Manual

B & P
ATTERY
Your V212/V212x has two power sources, AC (using the AC/DC converter) or battery. To run
your V212/V212x from an AC outlet, use the supplied AC/DC adapter cable.
It takes the V212/V212x approximately three (3) to four (4) hours to recharge while not in use
and five (5) hours while in use. In normal operation (when not connected to an AC outlet), the
V212/V212x operates on battery power alone. A fully charged battery can last up to six (6) hours
depending on power consumption factors such as the screen's brightness setting. Using an
optional CF card accessory also affects battery life.
WARNING: Do not leave the battery in the device unattended for over one week:
the battery may discharge completely and not recharge properly. Either recharge
the battery or remove the battery from the device. If storing the battery outside the
device for prolonged periods of time, re-charge the battery every 30 - 60 days.
CAUTION: Replace only with a V212/V212x series battery:
Part Number BAT-004
Initial Charging: Failure to fully charge the battery for 5 hours before turning on the
!
V212/V212x for the first time may reduce the overall service life of the battery.
Storage: If you are not using the V212/V212x on a daily basis, store the unit by plugging it into
!
an AC outlet using the AC Adapter. If not using the device every day, remove the battery
completely. If storing the battery outside the device, re-charge the battery every 30 - 60 days.
Battery Removal
To remove the battery, slide the Battery Latch then slide the battery out.
CAUTION: Removing the battery can cause the loss of content not saved in the Persistent
Storage folder. Before removing the battery, we strongly recommend that you:
• Drag any changed files that you want to protect to the V212/V212x's Persistent Storage
folder (under My Computer), then press the Power button (to enter Suspend Mode) before
removing the old battery. Or,
• Plug the AC Adapter into the V212/V212x before removing the old battery to prevent a
disruptive interruption of power. Or,
• Press the Power button to put the V212/V212x in Suspend Mode, remove the old battery,
and insert the replacement battery quickly. The backup battery (permanently installed) will
prevent an interruption of power, providing a maximum of five (10) minutes of power while in
Suspend Mode.
