Managing Battery Power Optimizing Main Battery Life
Following these tips can help optimize battery life and avoid a sudden
power loss:
•
Shorten the Suspend Timer’s time period. See Automatic
Suspend Mode Operation on page 4-8.
•
Lower the screen brightness and use the contrast setting to
increase readability. See page 3-3 to change the screen settings.
•
Turn off unneeded sounds or mute the audio. See page 3-17 to
adjust the sounds.
•
Operate the Tablet with AC power connected whenever
possible. See Using the AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger,
below.
Using the AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger
You can connect the Tablet to the 100 to 240V ac power source using
the AC power adapter to operate on AC power and to charge the
battery.
The battery is fully charged (to its capacity) when the five battery LED
indicators are green. Verify the percentage of battery capacity by
looking at the power feature in the control panel. Tap the Start button
and select Settings, Control Panel, Power. Use the AC power adapter
when you:
•
Run the Tablet for long periods of time
•
Recharge the battery
•
Communicate with a PC
TIP
The Suspend Timer turns off when an external
power source is connected to the Tablet, unless the
timer has been enabled to remain on. Refer to
Automatic Suspend Mode Operation on page 4-8.
IMPORTANT
Use only the AC adapter supplied with your
MobileView Tablet. Using another type of adapter
may cause a malfunction or damage the battery
pack.
