Resolving Low-Battery Conditions

Ä
CAUTION: If the tablet PC has reached a critical low-battery
condition (1 percent of a full charge) and has initiated Hibernation,
do not slide the power switch until Hibernation is complete.
Hibernation is complete when the power/standby light turns off.
When a Charged Battery Pack Is Available
Select one of the following options:
■
Turn off the tablet PC or initiate Hibernation, insert a charged
battery pack while the tablet PC is off or in Hibernation, then
turn on the tablet PC.
■
To replace the battery with minimal disruption to your work,
slide and release the power switch 1 to initiate Standby,
confirm that Standby has been initiated by making sure the
power/standby light is flashing 2 , then replace the battery
pack within one minute.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent loss of work, do not immediately repeat the
Standby procedure for replacing a battery pack. The bridge battery,
which runs the tablet PC in Standby for up to one minute, requires
time to recharge.
