 It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than once a
day.

 Important guidelines when using the battery pack.
When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the following:
– avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the computer is in
Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause loss of
data or the computer may become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the computer.
The computer’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly affect
the battery pack’s charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the computer is turned on.
To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the
computer in sleep or hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten
the discharge time.
 When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you
may experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading.
This phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The
appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C (14 °F ~
122 °F).
 Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than six months without
recharging it.
Touchscreen Guidelines
 Use the finger or stylus on the display. Using a sharp or metallic object other
