Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care

25

Low Battery Warnings
A battery’s indicator light

will begin blinking orange

to alert you to a “Battery

Low” status. Typically, this

is when the battery has

reached a charge level of

10% or less.

When there is only one

minute of battery charge remaining, the computer will suspend

its current state to the hard drive and power off. Plug in the AC

adapter and turn the computer back on to resume your work.

About Battery Usage
Over time, even with proper care, battery performance (the time

the battery can operate the computer before needing to be

recharged) will decrease. Depending on how often the battery

is used, how many times it has been charged and the conditions

under which it is used, you likely will need to purchase replace-

ment batteries during the life of your Tablet PC.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, only use TabletKiosk replacement

batteries. To prevent loss of data, do not remove both battery packs

at the same time while the system is powered on unless attached to

an external power source. Also, be sure to check the status of each

battery before removing it. If you remove a battery and the remaining

battery in the system does not retain a sufficient charge, the tablet

could power off unexpectedly.

NOTE: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When a

battery can no longer hold a sufficient charge, call your local waste

disposal or environmental protection agency for advice on how or

where to dispose a lithium-ion battery.

Real Time Clock Battery
In order to maintain certain system information while the power

is off, the motherboard contains a small built-in battery pack that

constantly supplies power to the system.
