58 Mobile Computing Charging the battery USB Charge-In "Sleep mode," you can also charge your tablet, although more slowly, by connecting the USB power cable to the USB port on another computer. Please make sure your computer is turned ON while charging via USB. If your computer is turned OFF, depending on the computer's specifications, the tablet battery may discharge. Toshiba recommends that you do not use your tablet while charging via USB as auto shut down may occur if the battery charge is too low. Wall Outlet-The fastest way to charge your tablet is with an optional USB/AC adaptor plugged into a wall outlet. Determining remaining battery power NOTE Wait a few moments after turning on the device before trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The device needs this time to check the battery's remaining capacity and perform its calculations. Touch the power icon in the notification area. (See "Finding your way around the desktop" on page 67 for more information on the notification area.) The window displays the remaining battery power as a percentage. 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 fully charged. TECHNICAL NOTE: The device drains the battery 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 battery runs low When the battery run low you can: ❖ Plug the device into an external power source and recharge the battery via the Micro USB port. See "Connecting to a power source" on page 36 ❖ Save your work and turn off the device
