Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when the
actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing is the
process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours.
A software tool called “Gauge Reset” is provided for the purpose. Use the G-Manager
program and select the Battery tab to find the tool.
Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be
different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the Tablet PC.
The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the
Tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a
shorter operating time.
The two battery packs are discharged in parallel.
By Operating System
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function of the
operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, tap the battery icon on the
taskbar.
By Gas Gauge
On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the estimated
battery charge.
