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 may need to purchase a new battery
during the life of your computer.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, only use replacement batteries recom-
mended by TabletKiosk. To prevent the loss of data, do not remove
both batteries while the system is powered on unless attached to an
external power source.
NOTE: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When your
battery no longer holds a charge, call your local waste disposal or
environmental agency for advice on disposing of Lithium-Ion Polymer
batteries.
Since the a7230X supports hot swapping of batteries, you can
remove either battery to replace it while the system is powered
on. Be sure that the battery remaining in the system is not
drained when you swap the other battery or the system will
power off and you could lose data.
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.
If the computer is left without a power source for long periods of
time, this battery can be exhausted and system information will
be lost. This will not affect any of your data stored on the com-
puter’s hard drive, but rather the settings in the BIOS that tell the
computer how to operate. It is recommended, therefore, that if
you plan to store the computer for a long time you periodically
attach the battery pack, plug in the computer to an external
power source and allow the built-in battery to recharge.
If you find out, after removing the computer from storage, that
you have lost this system information, by receiving a BIOS error
when you boot up for the first time, contact your dealer or visit
TabletKiosk’s website a
to obtain the
proper BIOS settings.
