GETTING STARTED
1. Read this Safety and Instruction Manual in its entirety prior to using your PowerPad.
2. Ensure your PowerPad package contains both the PowerPad and the PowerPad connection
cable.
3. Using an approved AC adapter, charge the PowerPad until fully charged. Charging time will
vary by model. See "Charging the PowerPad."
4. Connect the PowerPad connection cable to both the PowerPad and your portable computer.
See "Connecting to the Portable Computer."
5. Optimize your portable computer's Power Management Settings. See "Optimizing Battery
Life."
6. You are now ready to use your PowerPad product. See "Recommended Use of the
PowerPad" and "Safety Information."
7. Periodically monitor remaining battery capacity by depressing the fuel gauge button. See
"Understanding the Fuel Gauge."
8. When the charge level shown on the fuel gauge is less than 10%, recharge the PowerPad.
You may recharge more frequently if desired. See "Understanding the Fuel Gauge."

RECOMMENDED USE OF THE POWERPAD
The PowerPad is designed to work with portable computers and is not intended for any other use.
The PowerPad must be attached to the portable computer using only the PowerPad connection
cable provided.
It is recommended that the PowerPad be used in conjunction with the portable computer's internal
battery. This will ensure a backup of power and a seamless transfer of power supply from the
PowerPad to the internal battery, in the event of a full discharge or accidental disconnection. In
this situation, it may be possible to charge your computer's battery through the recharge port of the
connection cable while the PowerPad is in use. The runtime of the PowerPad will be reduced. It is
recommended that the internal battery be charged separately from the PowerPad to achieve
optimal performance.
The optimal operating temperature is between 20°C (70°F) and 40°C 110°F). It is recommended
that the PowerPad not be exposed to direct unlight, or to temperatures less than 0°C (32°F). When
exposed to emperatures below 0°C (32°F) and above 60°C (140°F), the PowerPad will not
operate; however, when the PowerPad returns to a temperature between 0°C (32°F) and 60°C
(140°F) the PowerPad will again be operable.
Instead of OLED ---- Use LCM ---- Liquid Crystal Module

UNDERSTANDING THE FUEL GAUGE
The PowerPad uses a comprehensive fuel-gauge system to indicate its charging/discharging state.
the fuel gauge is displayed on the ( LCM) and the fuel gauge button is found on the top face of
the PowerPad.
The fuel gauge displays the following information:
0%: The PowerPad has been fully discharged and should be recharged.
1-20%: The PowerPad is 1% to 20% charged.
21-40%: The PowerPad is 21% to 40% charged.
41-60%: The PowerPad is 41% to 60% charged.
61-80%: The PowerPad is 61% to 80% charged.
81-100%: The PowerPad is 81% to 100% charged.

Noted :
 The user cannot switch off the PowerPad in “Charging” mode.
 While LCM doesn’t show “ DISCHARGING” or “CHARGING” under these
two conditions.
- PowerPad is full charging.
- AC adapter current is lower than Powerpad charging limited current
0.32A. Now powerpad is only in Bypass Mode not charging.

CHARGING THE POWERPAD
DO NOT charge or recharge the PowerPad in airplanes.
In order to optimize your charge time , it is recommended that the PowerPad not be charged while
connected to the portable computer. If charged while connected to the portable computer, charge
time will take significantly longer than when disconnected from the portable computer.
Do not charge your PowerPad with an AC adapter with an output voltage greater than 24 Volts, as
this may damage the PowerPad.
RECOMMENDED CHARGING PROCEDURE
1. Disconnect the PowerPad connection cable from the computer for the fastest charge.
2. Insert the AC adapter into the recharge port of the connection cable. Use only AC adaptors
supplied by the manufacturer of your portable computer. Please consult our website at
www.electrovaya.com for a complete list of compatible brands and models of portable
computers.
3. Connect the AC adapter into an electrical wall-outlet.
