7.3. Battery Mode
PLEASE NOTE!
Please charge and discharge the new batteries completely two or
three times consecutively to ensure that it reaches their optimum
performance! Batteries store electrical energy in their cells and then
release it again as required.
The service life and performance of your batteries depend on careful handling.
The batteries should always be completely discharged before charging and then
fully charged again to optimise the service life and performance.
Please also take note of the safety instructions on „Safety Instructions“.
7.3.1. Charging the Batteries
The batteries are charged using the mains adapter. When the mains adapter is
connected and switched on, the batteries charge automatically regardless of
whether or not the Notebook is switched on or not. A complete charge takes a
few hours with the Notebook switched off. With the Notebook switched on, the
charging process takes significantly longer.
PLEASE NOTE!
The charging process is interrupted if the battery voltage or
temperature gets too high.
7.3.2. Behaviour of the battery charge status display
If the device is being operated in notebook mode, the charging status of both
batteries will be shown and not two separate charge statuses.
If, for example, the battery in the base unit is empty but the battery in the tablet
unit is full, a charging status of 50% will be shown.
If the device is being used in tablet mode, i.e. without the base unit, a charging
status of 100% is shown.
PLEASE NOTE!
The battery in the tablet unit is always charged first.
The battery in the base unit is then also charged when the display unit is
removed and the mains adapter connected to the base unit. If the mains
adapter is not connected, the battery in the tablet unit will charged
from the battery in the base unit. This ensure that the tablet mode is
optimised.
