•
The battery pack is a consumable product and
the following conditions will shorten its life:
– when frequently charging the battery
– when using, charging, or storing the bat-
tery in high temperature condition
•
To avoid hastening the deterioration of the
battery pack thereby prolonging its useful
life, minimize the number of times you charge
it so as not to frequently increase its internal
temperature.
•
Charge the battery pack between 10 °C ~ 30 °C
(50 °F ~ 86 °F) temperature range. A higher
environment temperature will cause the battery
pack's temperature to rise. Avoid charging
the battery pack inside a closed vehicle and in
hot weather condition. Also, charging will
not start if the battery pack is not within the
allowed temperature range.
•
It is recommended that you do not charge
the battery pack more than once a day.
•
It is recommended that you charge the battery
pack with the Tablet PC's power off.
•
To maintain the battery pack's operating effi-
ciency when removed from the Tablet PC,
store it in a cool dark place and with 30% ~
40% charge remaining.
•
Important guidelines
When installing or removing the battery pack
take note of the following:
– avoid installing or removing the battery
pack when the Tablet PC is in Sleep mode.
Abruptly removing the battery pack may
cause loss of data or the Tablet PC may
become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals
or damage may occur, causing improper
operation to it or the Tablet PC.
The Tablet PC's input voltage and surround-
ing temperature will directly affect the charge
and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the
Tablet PC is turned on. To shorten the charg-
ing time, it is recommended that you place
the Tablet PC in Sleep or hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charg-
ing time as well as hasten the discharge
time.
•
When using battery power in an extremely
low temperature environment, you may
experience shortened operating time and
incorrect battery level reading. This pheno-
menon comes from the chemical characteris-
tics of batteries. The appropriate operating
temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C
(14 °F ~ 122 °F).
•
Do not leave the battery pack in storage for
more than six months without recharging it.
Touchscreen Guidelines
•
Use the finger or the included stylus on the
display. Using a sharp or metallic object may
cause scratches and damage the display,
thereby causing errors.
•
Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display.
The touchscreen surface has a special protec-
tive coating that prevents dirt from sticking
to it. Not using a soft cloth may cause damage
to the special protective coating on the touch-
screen surface.
•
Turn off the Tablet PC power when cleaning
the display. Cleaning with the power on may
cause improper operation.
•
Do not use excessive force on the display.
Avoid placing objects on top of the display as
this may cause the glass to break thereby
damaging the display.
•
In low and high temperatures (below 5
41 °F and above 60 C / 140 °F), the touch-
o
screen may have a slower response time or
register the touch in the wrong location. It
will go back to normal after returning to
room temperature.
•
When there is a noticeable discrepancy in
the placement of the stylus on the screen
and the indicated position of the onscreen
pointer, use the calibration utility to reca-
librate the touchscreen display.
