3-2 Managing Power
Battery Pack
The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you
are using the tablet computer. When your applications often access
peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time.
NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the “Battery
Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter 6.
WARNING:
Do not disassemble the battery pack. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Doing so may present risk of exposure to harmful chemicals, explosion, fire or high
temperatures.
Contact your local waste disposal service provider regarding the disposal or
recycling of used battery packs.
Charging the Battery Pack
To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the tablet computer
and an electrical outlet. The Battery Status Indicator ( ) on the tablet
computer glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. When the
battery is fully charged, the Battery Status Indicator glows green.
The charging times are as follows:
NOTE: The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge process
(0.21 % per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100 %). This discharge
occurs whether the battery pack is in or out of the tablet computer.
