Hot Swapping the Battery Pack (Optional)
If your model has the bridge battery, you can hot swap the battery pack.
“Hot swapping” means you can safely replace the battery pack without
shutting down while your Tablet PC is running on battery power.
Hints and Reminders
See “Replacing the Battery Pack” for replacement instructions and note the
following hints and reminders on hot swapping:
 Make sure the battery pack to be installed is charged.
 The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack
is between -21°C (-5.8 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F).
 Check the Battery Hot Swapping Indicator after removing a battery
pack. Replace the battery pack only when the indicator lights in green.
A red light means there is not enough extra power for you to safely hot
swap the battery pack.
 Once a battery pack is removed, the display brightness level will be fixed
at a low level and cannot be adjusted.
 If a charged battery pack is not inserted within 2 minutes, the Battery
Hot Swapping Indicator blinks in red and the Tablet PC enters
Hibernation mode.
 After removing the battery pack, do not connect and immediately
disconnect the AC adapter. This will shut down the Tablet PC.
About the Bridge Battery
 The bridge battery is not user-replaceable and is invisible to the operating
system. It never functions as the power source as long as the battery
pack is installed.
 The bridge battery is charged by external AC power if the AC adapter is
connected.
 If the Battery Hot Swapping Indicator blinks in amber, it means the
bridge battery charging is in an abnormal state. Replace the bridge
battery in case this happens.
