Tips for Conserving Battery Power

You can extend the charge life of your battery pack by conserving battery power. A fully charged
battery pack can run the system under normal use in most applications for approximately 2.5
hours*. Your results may vary depending on your application and how the system is configured.
Here are some suggestions to help you conserve battery power:
• Use an external power source such as the AC adapter to power the system when possible.
• Suspend system operation if you know that you won't be using the system for a while.
• Shut down the system if you won't be using the system for an extended period of time.
• Use power management timeouts (accessible through the BIOS setup) to help you conserve
power automatically. Contact your reseller before modifying the BIOS.
* Battery life is dependent upon a number of factors: operating system, power settings, and
applications or peripherals in use.
Operation of the Bridge Battery
When installed in the pen tablet, the battery pack provides power to some system components—
even when the system is in the Off state. When the battery pack is removed, power is supplied to
these components by a "bridge" battery that is built into the pen tablet.
The bridge battery is not designed for long-term operation (it will support a suspended system for
between five and ten minutes). To maintain the bridge battery properly, observe the following
measures:
Note: The system arrives with the bridge battery in a discharged state.
• To prevent draining the bridge battery, always store the pen tablet with a charged battery pack
installed.
• If the bridge battery becomes drained, it takes approximately 11 hours for it to be fully recharged.
• The bridge battery charges from the AC Adapter when the adapter is connected and the system is
in On or Off states or Suspend mode. It charges from the
battery only when the system is in the On state.
