Resolving Low-Battery Conditions

CAUTION: If the tablet PC has reached a critical low-battery condition

(one percent of a full charge) and has initiated Hibernation, do not slide

the power switch until Hibernation is complete. Hibernation is complete

when the power/standby light turns off.

When a Charged Battery Pack Is Available

To resolve a low-battery condition, select one of the following

options:

■ Turn off the tablet PC or initiate Hibernation, insert a charged

battery pack while the tablet PC is off or in Hibernation, then

turn on the tablet PC.

■ To replace the battery with minimal disruption to your work,

slide and release the power switch 1 to initiate Standby,

confirm that Standby has been initiated by making sure the

power/standby light is flashing 2, then replace the battery

pack within one minute.

CAUTION: To prevent loss of work, be sure to replace the battery pack

within one minute. The bridge battery runs the tablet PC in Standby for up

to one minute, at which point the tablet PC will shut down and lose

unsaved work if no external power is available.

Do not immediately repeat the Standby procedure for replacing a battery

pack. The bridge battery requires time to recharge between uses.
