Using battery power
The tablet runs on battery power whenever it is not plugged into external AC power. Tablet battery life
varies, depending on power management settings, running programs, display brightness, external
devices connected to the tablet, and other factors. When the tablet is plugged into AC power, the
battery is charged and your work is protected in case of a power outage. If the battery is charged and
the tablet is running on external AC power, the tablet automatically switches to battery power if the
AC adapter is disconnected on the tablet or an AC power loss occurs.
NOTE: When you disconnect AC power, the display brightness is automatically decreased to save
battery life. For more information, see
Using external AC power on page 33.
