4 BATTERY & POWER MANAGEMENT
Using battery power
The Pedion can operate from its internal battery for
up to 1.8 hours, depending on the programs you are
running and how much use you make of the hard disk
and CD-ROM drive.
An optional Battery Pack can be attached to the base
of either the Pedion or the Multimedia Pack,
extending the operating time to up to 7.2 hours.
You can recharge the internal battery and the Battery
Pack 300 to 500 times before their performance starts
to degrade. At this point you should contact your
Mitsubishi Electric PC dealer or maintainer.
General advice
At first, the internal battery is not charged.
Before using your Pedion for the first time, you
must charge the battery. The same applies to the
optional Battery Pack.
A new battery may be discharged in an
unexpectedly short time. Fully recharge it before
using it again.
You should recharge and discharge fully each
time. Partial recharges/discharges will shorten
the battery’s lifetime.
Extreme temperatures (high or low) will shorten
the battery’s lifetime.
Neither the Pedion’s internal battery nor the
batteries in the Battery Pack can be removed. If
they become worn out, contact your Mitsubishi
Electric PC supplier.
