Gigabyte S1185 - Low Battery State Management; Battery Storage Recommendations; Battery Handling Precautions; Safe Battery Handling Practices

Low Battery State :
Whenthebatterylevelislow,anotificationmessageappears.Ifyoudonotrespondtothelowbattery
message,thebatterycontinuestodischargeuntilitistoolowtooperate.Whenthishappens,yourSlatPC
goesintoSuspendmode.ThereisnoguaranteeyourdatawillbesavedoncetheSlatPCreachesthispoint.
CAUTION:ToprotectyourSlatPCfromdamage,useonlythepoweradapterthatcamewithit
because each power adapter has its own power output rating.
OnceyourSlatPCgoesintosuspendmodeasaresultofadeadbattery,youwillbeunabletoresume
operationuntilyouprovideasourceofpowereitherfromanadapterorachargedbattery.Onceyouhave
providedpower,youcanpresstheSuspend/Resumebuttontoresumeoperation.InSuspendmode,your
dataismaintainedforsometime,butifapowersourceisnotprovidedpromptly,thepowerindicatorstops
flashingandthengoesout,inwhichcaseyouhavelostthedatathatwasnotsaved.Onceyouprovide
power, you can continue to use your computer while an adapter charges the battery.
Storage :
● Chargeordischargethebatterytoapproximately50%ofcapacitybeforestorage.
● Chargethebatterytoapproximately50%ofcapacityatleastonceeverythreemonths.
● RemovethebatteryandstoreitseparatelyfromtheSlatPC.
● Storethebatteryattemperaturesbetween5°Cand20°C(41°Fand68°F).
CAUTION:Thebatteryself-dischargesduringstorage.Highertemperatures(above20°Cor
68°F)reducethebatterystoragelife.
Handling Precautions :
● Donotdisassemble,crush,orpunctureabattery.
● Donotshorttheexternalcontactsonabattery.
● Donotdisposeofabatteryinreorwater.
● Donotexposeabatterytotemperaturesabove60°C(140°F).
● Keepthebatteryawayfromchildren.
● Avoidexposingthebatterytoexcessiveshockorvibration.
● Donotuseadamagedbattery.
● Ifabatterypackhasleakingfluids,donottouchanyfluids.Disposeofaleakingbatterypack(see
DisposalandRecyclingsection).Incaseofeyecontactwithuid,donotrubeyes.Immediatelyusheyes
thoroughlywithwaterforatleast15minutes,liftingupperandlowerlids,untilnoevidenceoftheuid
remains.Seekmedicalattention.
Transportation :
Alwayscheckallapplicablelocal,national,andinternationalregulationsbeforetransportingaLithium-Ion
battery.Transportinganend-of-life,damaged,orrecalledbatterymay,incertaincases,bespecicallylimited
or prohibited.
Disposal and Recycling :
Lithium-Ionbatteriesaresubjecttodisposalandrecyclingregulationsthatvarybycountryandregion.Always
checkandfollowyourapplicableregulationsbeforedisposingofanybattery.Contactyourlocalbattery
recyclingorganization.Manycountriesprohibitthedisposalofwasteelectronicequipmentinstandardwaste
receptacles.Placeonlydischargedbatteriesinabatterycollectioncontainer.Useelectricaltapeorother
approvedcoveringoverthebatteryconnectionpointstopreventshortcircuits.
Thesymbolofthecrossedoutwheeledbinindicatesthattheproduct(electricalandelectronic
