Recharging the Batteries
If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium Polymer battery, check the Battery Level indicator located
on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium Polymer battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the
battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your STYLISTIC Tablet PC and connect the AC or
Auto/Airline adapter.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium Polymer battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery
completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your Tablet PC is in use while the battery
is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your Tablet PC into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the
adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 44 for more information on Sleep mode and shutdown
procedure)
