Synchronizing a slate and keyboard (select products only)

For a slate with a detachable keyboard, when you attach the slate to the keyboard and restart the computer,
Setup Utility (BIOS) checks to see if the Embedded Controller firmware on the keyboard needs to be
synchronized. If so, synchronization begins. If the synchronization is interrupted, a notification screen
displays for 10 seconds before the slate restarts and attempts to synchronize again.

NOTE:

The Embedded Controller firmware will synchronize ONLY if the slate or keyboard battery is more

than 50% charged, or if your slate is connected to AC power.
