Chapter 3 Managing Power Your Tablet operates either on external AC power or on internal battery power. This chapter tells you how you can eff ectively manage power. To maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the proper way.
AC Adapter CAUTION: ● The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. ● The AC power cord supplied with your Tablet is for use in the country where you purchased your Tablet. If you plan to go overseas with the Tablet, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. ● When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the Tablet. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or Tablet.
Battery Pack The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. CAUTION:The time to unplug the battery pack is limited to when the battery is not being charged. NOTE:Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the“ Ba t t e r y Pack Guidelines”section in Chapter 7. Charging the Battery Pack NOTE:The rechargeable temperature of the battery is between 0℃ and 50℃.
Checking the Battery Level NOTE:Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be diff erent from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the Tablet. When the battery is fully charged, its power supply time depends on how you use the Tablet. If the software you use requires frequent use of peripheral devices, the power may run out soon. You can find the battery icon on the Windows taskbar (lower-right corner). The icon shows the approximate battery level.
Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION: ● There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the Tablet manufacturer’soptional battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealer’sinstructions. ● Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. ● The battery pack will become hot under long-term operation. Do not touch the hot battery pack with bare hands. After removing the battery pack, place it in a ventilated place.

Chapter 6 Care and Maintenance Taking good care of your Tablet will ensure a trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage to your Tablet. This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing, cleaning, and traveling.
Protecting the Tablet To safeguard the integrity of your Tablet data as well as the Tablet itself, you can protect the Tablet in several ways as described in this section. sing an Anti-Virus Strategy U You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage your files.
Taking Care of the Tablet Location Guidelines ● For optimal performance, use the Tablet where the recommended temperature is between 0 °C and 40 °C . (Actual operating temperature depends on product specifications.) ● Avoid placing the Tablet in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using the Tablet in extreme environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and a shortened product life.
General Guidelines ● Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet when it is closed as this may damage the display. ● Toavoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with any sharp object. ● LCDimage sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by limiting the amount of static content on the display. It is recommended that you use a screen saver or turn off the display when it is not in use.
Battery Pack Guidelines ● The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will shorten its life: ‒ when frequently charging the battery pack. ‒ when using, charging, or storing in high temperature condition. ● Toavoid 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.
The Tablet’sinput voltage and surrounding temperature will directly aff ect the battery pack’scharge and discharge time: ‒ charging time will be prolonged when the Tablet is turned on. To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the Tablet in sleep or hibernation mode. ‒ a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten the discharge time.
When Traveling ● Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. ● Make sure that the Tablet is turned off . ● Make sure that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure the waterproof integrity. ● Disconnect the AC adapter from the Tablet and take it with you. Use the AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger. ● Hand-carry the Tablet. Do not check it in as luggage.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Tablet problems can be caused by hardware, software, or both. When you encounter any problem, it might be a typical problem that can easily be solved. This chapter tells you what actions to take when solving common Tablet problems.
Preliminary Checklist Here are helpful hints to follow before you take further actions when you encounter any problem: ● Try to isolate which part of the Tablet is causing the problem. ● Make sure that you turn on all peripheral devices before turning on the Tablet. ● If an external device has a problem, make sure that the cable connections are correct and secure. ● Make sure that the configuration information is properly set in the BIOS Setup program.
Solving Common Problems Battery Problems The battery does not charge(The battery indicator is flashing red). ● Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected. ● Make sure that the battery is not too hot or cold. Allow time for the battery pack to return to room temperature. ● If the battery doesn't charge after it has been stored in very low temperatures, try disconnecting and reconnecting the AC adapter to solve the problem. ● Make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly.
Bluetooth Problems I cannot connect to another Bluetooth-enabled device. ● Make sure that both devices have activated Bluetooth feature. ● Make sure that the distance between the two devices is within the limit and that there are no walls or other obstructions between the devices. ● Make sure that the other device is not in“ H i d d e n ”mode. ● Make sure that both devices are compatible. Display Problems Nothing appears on the screen. ● automatically turn off as a result of power management.
Hardware Device Problems The Tablet does not recognize a newly installed device. ● Make sure if any device driver needs to be installed. (Refer to the documentation that came with the device.) ● The device may not be correctly configured in the BIOS Setup program. Run the BIOS Setup program to identify the new type. ● Check the cables or power cords for correct connections. ● For an external device that has its own power switch, make sure that the power is turned on.
Software Problems An application program does not work correctly. ● Make sure that the software is correctly installed. ● If an error message appears on the screen, consult the software program’s documentation for further information. ● If you are sure the operation has stop, reset the Tablet. Sound Problems No sound is produced. ● Make sure that the volume control is not set too low. ● Make sure that the Tablet is not in mute mode. ● Make sure that the Tablet is not in Sleep mode.
WLAN Problems I cannot use the WLAN feature. ● Make sure that the WLAN feature is turned on. Transmission quality is poor. ● Your Tablet may be in an out-of-range situation. Move your Tablet closer to the Access Point or another WLAN device it is associated with. ● Check if there is high interference around the environment and solve the problem as described next. Radio interference exists.
Restart the Tablet When the Tablet crashes due to a problem, you may need to restart the Tablet. If you are sure that the Tablet has crashed and you cannot use the reboot function provided by the operating system, please reboot in one of the following ways: ● Press Ctrl + Alt + Del on the keyboard to bring up the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen.
