Keeping The Battery Charged - Intel Reader User Manual

Chapter 1. Setting Up the Reader
For optimal battery performance and life, it is recommended that you charge the
battery to approximately 100 percent before using the Reader for the first time.
A full charge takes approximately 3 hours.

Keeping the Battery Charged

The Reader's battery can hold a charge for an extended period of time, but it
will eventually lose its charge. Charge the Reader to approximately 50 percent
at least every 3 months. To check your battery's charge, press the Guide
button, the round button at the lower right of the Reader face. On the Guide
menu, select Device Status and press OK. The Device Status screen appears.
The second line under the screen title tells you the amount of charge for your
battery.
IMPORTANT: Before leaving the Reader idle for several months, charge
the battery to approximately 50 percent before shutting down the Read-
er or disconnecting the battery. Charging the battery more than 50 per-
cent before long-term storage can result in degraded capacity. Failure
to properly charge the battery can result in a loss of charge that might
make it impossible to recharge your battery.
