Hardware Guide3–1 3 Battery Packs Running the Tablet PC on Battery Power When the tablet PC is connected to external power, the tablet PC runs on external power. When a charged battery pack is in the tablet PC and the tablet PC is not connected to external power, the tablet PC runs on battery power. The tablet PC switches between external power and battery power according to the availability of an external power source. For example, if the tablet PC contains a charged battery pack and is running on external power supplied through the AC adapter, the tablet PC will switch to battery power if the AC adapter is disconnected from the tablet PC. Whether to leave a battery pack in the tablet PC or in storage depends on how you work. Keeping a battery pack in the tablet PC enables the battery pack to charge whenever the tablet PC is connected to external power and also protects your work in case of a power outage. On the other hand, a battery pack in the tablet PC slowly discharges even while the tablet PC is turned off. If you will not be using the tablet PC for one month or more, removing the battery pack and storing it as described in “Storing a Battery Pack,” later in this chapter, will prolong its life. For more information about leaving your work, refer on this CD to the Software Guide, “Power” chapter. 3–2Hardware Guide Battery Packs Replacing a Battery Pack Removing a Battery Pack Ä CAUTION: To prevent loss of work when removing a battery pack that is running the tablet PC, initiate Hibernation or turn off the tablet PC before removing the battery pack.
If you remove a battery pack that is running the tablet PC while the tablet PC is in Standby, your work is saved in Standby for up to one minute, then the tablet PC shuts down and your unsaved work is lost.
If you remove a battery pack that is running the tablet PC while the tablet PC is on, the tablet PC shuts down immediately and your unsaved work is lost. To remove a battery pack from the tablet PC: 1. Turn the tablet PC front side down. (If a battery pack security screw is in place, remove the screw.) Battery Packs Hardware Guide3–3 2. To unlock the battery pack release latch, slide the latch firmly toward the unlock icon 1. Then hold the latch as you disengage the 2 tabs on the battery pack from the 2 slots on the battery bay 2 and lift the battery pack out of the battery bay 3. Removing a battery pack 3–4Hardware Guide Battery Packs Inserting a Battery Pack To insert a battery pack into the tablet PC: 1. Turn the tablet PC front side down. 2. Align the 2 rectangular tabs 1 on the battery pack with the 2 rectangular alignment slots 2 in the battery bay. Aligning the battery pack tabs with the battery bay alignment slots Battery Packs Hardware Guide3–5 3. Angle the battery pack toward the alignment slots 1 until the 2 tabs are inserted into the 2 alignment slots 2. 4. Tilt the battery pack downward until it snaps into place 3. Inserting a battery pack 5. If you initiated Standby or Hibernation before replacing the battery pack, slide and release the power switch to resume from Standby or Hibernation. 3–6Hardware Guide Battery Packs Securing a Battery Pack Use the battery pack security screw to hold the battery pack in place, and to provide antitheft protection for the battery pack. Accessing the Battery Pack Security Screw A battery pack security screw ships inside the battery bay. To access the battery pack security screw: 1. Remove the battery pack as instructed in “Removing a Battery Pack” earlier in this section. 2. Remove the battery pack security screw. Removing the battery pack security screw Battery Packs Hardware Guide3–7 Inserting a Battery Pack Security Screw To secure the battery pack in the battery bay with a battery pack security screw: 1. Insert the battery pack into the battery bay as instructed in “Inserting a Battery Pack” earlier in this section. 2. Insert a battery pack security screw through the battery pack case and into the tablet PC. Inserting a battery pack security screw 3–8Hardware Guide Battery Packs Charging a Battery Pack The battery pack in the tablet PC charges whenever the tablet PC is connected to external power. The battery pack charges whether or not the tablet PC is in use, but charges faster when the tablet PC is off. Charging may be delayed if a battery pack is new, has not been used for 2 weeks or more, or is much warmer or cooler than room temperature. Charging times vary. The battery light displays charge status:
On: the battery pack is charging.
Off: the battery pack is fully charged.
Flashing: the battery pack has 5 percent or less of a full charge. Identifying the battery light Battery Packs Hardware Guide3–9 Charging a New Battery Pack Fully charge the battery pack while the tablet PC is connected to external power through the AC adapter. A new battery pack that has been partially charged, but not fully charged, can run the tablet PC, but battery charge displays may be inaccurate. Charging an In-Use Battery Pack To prolong battery life and increase the accuracy of battery charge displays:
Allow the battery pack to discharge to less than 10 percent of a full charge through normal use before charging it.
When you charge the battery pack, charge it fully. An in-use battery pack can be charged while the tablet PC is connected to external power through the AC adapter or an optional Automobile Power Adapter Charger, Docking Station, or DC cable. An optional Auto/Air Cable can be used to run the tablet PC, but cannot be used to charge a battery pack. 3–10Hardware Guide Battery Packs Monitoring the Charge in a Battery Pack Obtaining Accurate Charge Information To increase the accuracy of all battery charge displays:
Allow a battery pack to discharge to less than 10 percent of a full charge through normal use before charging it.
When you charge a battery pack, charge it fully.
If a battery pack has not been used for one month or more, calibrate the battery pack instead of simply charging…

Hardware Guide8–1 8 External Device Connections Standard Device The jacks and connectors described in this guide support standard external devices.
For information about which jack or connector to use, refer to the documentation included with the device.
For information about installing or loading any software required by the device, refer to the device documentation, the operating system Help files, or the device manufacturer’s Web site. To connect a standard external device to the tablet PC: 1. If you are connecting a powered device, be sure the device is turned off. 2. Connect the device to a jack or connector on the tablet PC. 3. If you are connecting a powered device, plug the device power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. 4. Turn on the device. ✎ If a properly connected display device does not display an image, try pressing the Q menu button > Internal and External item or External Only item to switch the image to the new device. To disconnect a standard external device from the tablet PC, turn off the device (if it is powered), then disconnect the device from the tablet PC. 8–2Hardware Guide External Device Connections USB Device USB is a hardware interface that can be used to connect external devices such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub to the tablet PC or an optional Docking Station. A USB device functions in the system in the same way as a comparable non-USB device. The USB connectors support USB 2.0- or 1.1-compliant devices. A USB hub is a connecting device that can be powered or unpowered. USB hubs can be connected to a USB connector on the tablet PC or on an optional Docking Station or to other USB devices. Hubs support varying numbers of USB devices and are used to increase the number of USB devices in the system.
Powered hubs must be connected to external power.
Unpowered hubs must be connected either to a USB connector on the tablet PC or to a port on a powered hub. Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device. For software information about a specific device, refer to the documentation included with the device. Identifying the 2 USB connectors on the tablet PC External Device Connections Hardware Guide8–3 Tablet PC Keyboard A tablet PC keyboard, which includes a numeric keypad, can be used with the tablet PC. For information about using the tablet PC keyboard pointing device, keypad, and F11/F12 key, see the “Pen, Command Controls and Keyboards” chapter, “Tablet PC Keyboard” section. The tablet PC can be attached or detached from the keyboard while it is on, off, in Standby, or in Hibernation. Attaching the Tablet PC to the Keyboard To attach the tablet PC to the keyboard: 1.
