Battery Usage And Care - Sahara NetSlate a510 User Manual

Sahara NetSlate a510 Tablet PCs features two (2) Lithium-Ion
batteries that are user replaceable, rechargeable and also hot
swappable. This means that you can remove a discharged bat-
tery and replace it with a fully charged battery without putting
the computer into hibernation mode, or fully powering it off, to
prevent data loss.
Depending on your system's configuration and your application
usage, a fully charged set of batteries should allow you to run
your Sahara NetSlate for 3.0 - 3.5 hours before needing to start
swapping them out.
Operations that will significantly reduce battery life include, but
are not limited to, the following:
1. Using external bus-powered USB drives such as optical,
floppy and hard disk drives.
2. Using wireless communications devices, including the inter-
nal WiFi networking card, optional 3G WWAN data module,
Bluetooth adapter, or USB Cellular/ 3G modems.
3. Using high-brightness display settings, 3D screen savers, or
other computationally intensive programs such as graphics
heavy games, media players and 3D graphics applications.
4. Running the computer in maximum performance mode.
5. Using the computer in overly-hot environmental conditions.
