Battery Charging When you use the AC adapter to connect your Duo-Touch to a power outlet, the internal battery automatically begins to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery Status LED turns orange after 6-12 seconds and stays solid orange until the battery is fully charged. Then it turns green. If your computer is turned off, a fully discharged battery takes about 3 hours to recharge. If your computer is turned on and is not in suspend mode , it takes about 3-5 hours to recharge the battery.
Using the Battery About the Battery The battery is a Lithium-Ion "smart" battery. It contains a temperature sensor and a memory device that stores information about the battery, such as how much charge is left and how many times it has been recharged. The parameters for the "management" of the battery are also kept in the battery's memory. The life expectancy will depend strongly on the care of the battery, the individual usage pattern and the Duo-Touch specific configuration.
Two different power alarms can be enabled or disabled: the Low Battery Alarm, and the Critical Battery Alarm. Use the slide bar to set the power level at which the alarms are activated. Click on the Alarm Action button to choose whether the alarm sounds, displays a message, or both. CAUTION When battery power is low, the Battery Status LED will blink red and the alarm will beep or display a warning on your screen.

Battery Tips Tip 1. Avoid excessive heat and cold Your battery will last longer during the day if it is used, charged and stored between 50∞F and 86∞F (10∞C and 30∞C). Charge the battery nightly where the temperature will remain around 68∞F (20∞C). Your battery may not last as long through the day if you charge it at higher or lower temperatures. Allow unrestricted airflow while the computer is connected to external power. Make sure that the fan inlet and outlet are unobstructed.
Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using battery power. Operating a fax/modem, video, or audio equipment increases the computerís power requirements. Don't use screen savers as they draw excessive current, especially ì3Dî screen savers. Avoid or minimize using applications that keep the CPU busy a large percentage of the time.
If your battery is charged in a cold (less than 41∞F/5∞C) or very warm (greater than 122∞F/50∞C) environment, it is possible that the Battery Charge LED will indicate that the charge has stopped; however, this does not necessarily mean that your battery is fully charged. Tip 5. Prevent data loss Follow these guidelines to prevent data loss when removing your battery or storing your computer: You will lose data if you remove the battery while the computer is operating or suspended.
