72 Mobile Computing Monitoring battery power With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. A frequently used older battery does not power the device for as long as a new battery, even when both are fully charged. TECHNICAL NOTE: The device drains the batteries faster at low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The device calculates the remaining battery charge based on your current rate of power use and other factors such as the age of the battery. What to do when the main batteries run low When the main batteries run low you can: ❖ Plug the device into an external power source and recharge the main batteries using one of the available DC-IN ports, see "Connecting to a power source" on page 30 ❖ Save your work and turn off the device If you do not manage to do either of these things before the main batteries completely run out of power, the device automatically enters Hibernation mode and turns itself off. Hibernation mode keeps track of where you were, so that when you turn on the power again, you can continue where you left off. Setting battery notifications You can set two notifications. Each notification can be set to alert you when a specified percentage of remaining battery power has been reached. You can also set the device to enter Sleep mode or Hibernation mode or to completely shut down when the notification goes off.

Mobile Computing
Monitoring battery power
With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery’s
capacity gradually decreases. A frequently used older
battery does not power the device for as long as a new
battery, even when both are fully charged.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The device drains the batteries faster
at low temperatures. Check your remaining charge
frequently if you are working in temperatures below 50
degrees Fahrenheit.
The device calculates the remaining battery charge
based on your current rate of power use and other
factors such as the age of the battery.
What to do when the main batteries run low
When the main batteries run low you can:
❖
Plug the device into an external power source and
recharge the main batteries using one of the available
DC-IN ports, see
“Connecting to a power source” on
page 30
❖
Save your work and turn off the device
If you do not manage to do either of these things before the
main batteries completely run out of power, the device
automatically enters Hibernation mode and turns itself off.
Hibernation mode keeps track of where you were, so that
when you turn on the power again, you can continue where
you left off.
Setting battery notifications
You can set two notifications. Each notification can be set to
alert you when a specified percentage of remaining battery
power has been reached. You can also set the device to
enter Sleep mode or Hibernation mode or to completely shut
down when the notification goes off.
