Setting up your Pepper wireless pad 5
The first time you turn on your Pepper pad, the Pepper
Setup Helper guides you through the few steps necessary to
get your pad ready to use.
When you take your pad other places—to work, the airport,
the library, a distant city—you’ll have to connect to new
Wi-Fi networks, but this will be quick and easy.
The following sections briefly describe the setting up
process and some of the features of your pad.
Charging the battery
Note: Before you can use the battery to run your pad, you need to charge it.
Although you can set up your pad and use it while the battery is charging,
charging takes more time if the pad is active.
To charge the battery:
1. Open the rubber flap on the lower right side of the pad.
2. Plug the power cord into the AC power jack and into a power outlet.
Charging takes less than two hours if the pad is in sleep mode or turned off.
It may take up to six hours if there is a great deal of activity. The small light next
to the jack is yellow while the battery is charging and green when the battery is
charged and the pad is plugged in. When the pad is using the battery for
power, this light is off.
Once the battery is charged, it holds the charge for approximately four hours of
use or up to a week if the pad is in sleep mode or turned off. If you are using your
pad for things that require little power, such as listening to music with the screen
dimmed, the charge will last longer than if you are using it for activities like
watching movies or browsing the Web that require more power.
You can plug your Pepper pad in at night and charge the battery while you sleep.
The pad will be ready to use wherever you go the next day. The battery cannot be
overcharged, so you don’t need to check on your pad while it is plugged in.
