Initializing the Battery Pack
Users need to initialize a new battery pack before using it at the 1
st
time or when the actual
operating time of the battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing would be the prcoess of
fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It may take several hours to be completed.
Note: All battery pack on tablet system would be default as shutdown mode and AC-ON would be
necessary to initialize the battery pack when first out of box. (Users need to plug AC adapter
charging to wake up system)
Battery Pack Guidelines
 When it is nearly discharged, users need to recharge the battery pack. While recharging,
make sure the battery pack is fully charged. By this, it could avoid battery pack damaged.
 The battery pack is a consumable product and it will shorten battery life by doing so:
- Charging the battery pack frequently
- Using, charging or storing the battery pack in high temperature condition
 To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its life time,
minimize the number of times you perform battery charging.
 Charge the battery pack between 10°C (50°F) and 30°C (86°F) temperature range. A higher
environment temperature will lead to battery packs’ temperature raising-up.
 Avoid charging the battery pack inside a small space and in hot weather condition. Above
all, charging will not be initialized if the battery pack is not within the allowed temperature
range.
 It would be recommended that users do not charge the battery pack more than once a day.
 It is recommended that user charge the battery pack with the tablet’s power-off.
 To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool place removed from the
tablet system and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge remaining.
 When installing or removing the battery pack, please take notes of the following:
- Avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the tablet system is in Sleep Mode.
Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause loss of data or the tablet system may get
unstable.
- Avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur, thereby causing
improper operation to it or the tablet system.
The tablet system’s input voltage and ambient temperature will directly affect the battery
pack’s charge and discharge time:
- Charging time will be prolonged when the tablet system is power-on. To shorten the
charging time, it is recommended that users place the tablet system in Sleep or
Hibernation mode.
- A low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten the discharge time.
 When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, users may
experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This phenomenon
comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating
temperature for the battery is 0°C (32°F) and 45°C(113°F).
 Please do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than two months without
recharging it.
