Charging the main battery
TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the tablet’s battery
may not occur when your device is using all of the power
provided by the Micro USB/AC adaptor to run
applications, features, and devices. Your device's Power
Options utility can be used to select a power level setting
that reduces the power required for system operation
and will allow the battery to recharge.
To charge the main battery, plug the device into a live
electrical outlet. The battery charges whether the device is
on or off.
The battery may not start charging immediately under the
following conditions:
❖ A battery is extremely hot or cold.
To ensure that the battery charges to its full capacity,
wait until it reaches room temperature (50 to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, 10 to 26 degrees Celsius).
❖
The battery is almost completely discharged.
Leave the power connected and the battery should
begin charging after a few minutes.
HINT: Once the battery is fully charged, we recommend
that you periodically operate your device on battery
power until the battery discharges completely.
Please make a complete back up of your data to external
media before discharging the tablet’s battery. For more
information, see
“Backing up your work” on page 66 .
Charging the RTC battery
Your device may have an internal real-time clock (RTC)
battery. The RTC battery powers the System Time Clock and
BIOS memory used to store your device’s configuration
settings. When fully charged, it maintains this information for
up to a month when the device is powered off.
The RTC battery may have become completely discharged
while your device was shipped, resulting in a CMOS error
message during startup. The error message may vary by
device model.
