Mobile Computing Charging batteries 69 Charging the main batteries To charge the main batteries, plug the device into a live electrical outlet using one of the available DC-IN ports, see "Connecting to a power source" on page 30. The batteries charge whether the device is on or off. TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the tablet's battery may not occur when your device is using all of the power provided by the AC adaptor to run applications, features, and devices. Your device's Power Options utility can be used to select a power level setting that reduces the power required for system operation and will allow the battery to recharge. The batteries may not start charging immediately under the following conditions: ❖ A battery is extremely hot or cold. To ensure that the batteries charge to their full capacity, wait until they reach room temperature (50 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, 10 to 26 degrees Celsius). ❖ A battery is almost completely discharged. Leave the power connected, and the battery should begin charging after a few minutes. HINT: Once the batteries are fully charged, we recommend that you periodically operate your device on battery power until the batteries discharge completely. Please make a complete back up of your data to external media before discharging the tablet's battery. For more information, see "Backing up your work" on page 65 Charging the RTC battery Your device has an internal real-time clock (RTC) battery. The RTC battery powers the System Time Clock and BIOS memory used to store your device's configuration settings. When fully charged, it maintains this information for up to a month when the device is powered off.

Charging the main batteries
To charge the main batteries, plug the device into a live
electrical outlet using one of the available DC-IN ports, see
“Connecting to a power source” on page 30
. The batteries
charge whether the device is on or off.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the tablet’s battery
may not occur when your device is using all of the power
provided by the AC adaptor to run applications, features,
and devices. Your device's Power Options utility can be
used to select a power level setting that reduces the
power required for system operation and will allow the
battery to recharge.
The batteries may not start charging immediately under the
following conditions:
A battery is extremely hot or cold.
To ensure that the batteries charge to their full capacity,
