Chapter 3: Getting Started
This chapter describes how to start and end a programming session.
Turning On the Programmer
This section describes how to turn on the programmer. The tablet can be operated either on battery power or
plugged into an electrical outlet. The battery should be fully charged prior to operating the programmer on battery
power.
Charging Status
The battery status light that is located on the front, upper-right corner of the tablet (see Figure 2-1) indicates the
charging status of the battery.
• Steady red — The battery is charging.
• Off — The battery is fully charged.
Note: In storage, the battery slowly self-discharges. If the tablet is not used regularly, plug it into an electrical
outlet for 2 hours every 4 weeks to maintain the battery charge.
Charging Battery
The battery automatically charges to full capacity while the tablet is powered by an electrical outlet. The tablet
does not need to be on to charge the battery. The battery should be fully charged prior to storing the programmer.
Only charge the battery when its temperature is between 0°C and 40°C. If the battery has been subjected to
extreme temperatures, wait until it cools to room temperature before recharging.
Connecting Tablet to Power
To connect the tablet to an electrical outlet (Figure 3-1):
1. Open the cover on the tablet power adaptor port and insert the single-prong end of the tablet power supply
cable into the tablet.
2. Insert the power cord into the tablet power supply.
3. Insert the end of the power cord into the electrical outlet (100–240 VAC).
