Determining Remaining Battery Power; What To Do When The Battery Runs Low - Toshiba encore 2 User Manual

Determining remaining battery power

NOTE
Touch the power icon in the notification area. (See
your way around the desktop" on page 70
information on the notification area.) The window displays
the remaining battery power as a percentage.
With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's
capacity gradually decreases. A frequently used older
battery does not power the device for as long as a new
battery, even when fully charged.

What to do when the battery runs low

When the battery run low you can:
❖
Plug the device into an external power source and
recharge the battery via the Micro USB port, using the
USB Power cable and USB/AC adaptor. See
"Connecting to a power source" on page 37
❖
Save your work and turn off the device
If you do not manage to do either of these things before the
battery completely runs out of power, the device
automatically enters a power-saving state and turns itself off
so that when you turn on the power again after connecting
the USB/AC adaptor, you can continue where you left off.
Wait a few moments after turning on the device before
trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The device
needs this time to check the battery's remaining capacity
and perform its calculations.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The device drains the battery faster
at low temperatures. Check your remaining charge
frequently if you are working in temperatures below 50
degrees Fahrenheit.
The device calculates the remaining battery charge
based on your current rate of power use and other
factors such as the age of the battery.
