Care for the Pro‑Stcher Lite Tablet
The Pro‑Stcher tablet is what powers your Pro‑Stcher system. To help extend the life of your tablet,
please follow the ps listed below:
Keep your tablet at room temperature. Avoid high or low temperatures.
• For best tablet performance, keep your tablet in environments between 50° and 80° Fahrenheit.
• Tablet baeries are easily and quickly weakened in unfavorable temperature condions.
• When your tablet overheats, it may weaken its baery life. Do not keep your tablet in a hot car or
other hot locaons.
• Charging the tablet at lower temperatures will lead to longer charging mes. Charging the tablet at
higher temperatures will have an adverse impact on the baery’s performance.
Keep your baery between 40% and 80% for the best longevity results.
• Do not keep your longarm machine powered on when it is not in use. Your tablet charges when your
longarm is turned on. Turn your longarm o when you are not using it to help maintain your tablet’s
baery life.
If the tablet is stored for an extended period, check the charge every 2–3 months and recharge the baery
before use.
• Turn on your tablet on every 2–3 months to check the baery level. This can be done by turning on
your tablet only (not the longarm machine), selecng Cancel when the Pro‑Stcher pop‑up appears,
and looking at the baery icon in the lower‑right corner of the tablet screen.
• If the baery is charged at 50% or less, connect the tablet to a power source, either by turning on the
longarm machine or connecng the tablet to the wall charger. For best results, use only the charger
that came with your tablet.
Don’t drain your tablet’s baery daily.
• Do not deplete the baery to the point where your tablet shuts down or hibernates automacally. If
you completely drain your tablet’s baery daily, you will noce a slight reducon in its ability to hold a
charge. To avoid this, keep the tablet connected to your longarm machine.
Remember the baery life should be 2–5 years.
• Baeries lose capacity over me, regardless of whether they are used or in storage. Aer ve years,
the baery chemistry can become unstable. Using the tablet beyond this range is not recommended.
Look for signs of a worn-out baery.
• The tablet shuts down, stang a low baery when it should have plenty of runme le.
• The baery percentage meter drops randomly.
• Charging nishes prematurely, even though the baery did not accept much power.
• Sudden power capacity drops without warning.
• The self‑discharge rate soars and is oen uneven.
• The baery gets very hot during charging. (Somemes the charger shuts down due to this.)
• The baery starts bulging.
If your tablet is running slowly, is constantly running on a low baery, is showing signs of wear, or was
purchased more than 5 years ago, you may want to think about replacing your tablet.
