2.1 Battery Pack
Your Ultra Mobile PC is equipped with a high-energy rechargeable
Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. Battery life will vary depending
on the product conguration, product model, applications loaded
on the product, power management settings of the product, and
the product features used by the customer. As with all batteries,
the maximum capacity of this battery will decrease with time and
usage.
2.2 Recharging The Battery Pack
Your Ultra Mobile PC supports both on-line and off-line recharge.
Follow the procedure below to recharge battery:
• Make sure the battery pack is installed in the Ultra Mobile PC.
• Connect the AC adapter to the Ultra Mobile PC and to an
electrical outlet.
When a battery pack is being recharged, its battery LED (located
at the bottom of LCD display) would be lit. For details on the LEDs,
please refer to Chapter 1.3. When the Ultra Mobile PC is OFF, a
depleted Li-Ion battery will take three hours to recharge.
2.3 Questions And Answers
I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack. Is it normal?
The battery will generate heat during recharging and
discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the Ultra
Mobile PC to prevent overheating. User needs not to worry.
My battery operation time is not as long as it should be.
Why?
The battery is heat sensitive and can only be charged to its
maximum if the battery and its environmental temperature
remain within 15-25°C (59-77°F). The more the temperature
deviates from this range during recharging, the less chance
there is for the battery to be fully charged. In order to
recharge the pack to its full capacity, users are requested
to cool down the unit by unplugging the AC Adapter. Wait
until it is cooled down. Then plug in the AC Adapter to start
recharging again.
I did not use my spare battery for a few days. Even though
it was fully recharged, there wasn’t as much power left as a
newly charged one. Why?
The batteries will self-discharge (1% per day for Li-Ion)
when they are not being recharged. To make sure a battery
pack is fully charged, recharge before use. Always keep the
battery inside the Ultra Mobile PC and have the AC adapter
connected whenever possible.

ENGLISH

I did not use my spare battery for months. I have problem in
recharging it.
If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an
extended period of self-discharge, say more than three
months, the battery voltage level will become too low and
needs to be Pre-Charged (to bring the battery voltage level
high enough) before it automatically (for Li-Ion only) resumes
its normal Fast Charge. Pre-Charge may take 30 minutes.
Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours.
2.4 Battery Maintenance
To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should
occasionally let the Ultra Mobile PC deplete its battery power
completely before recharging.
To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the
AC adapter and let your Ultra Mobile PC consume the remaining
battery power. To speed up the depletion, use the HDD as much as
possible. When the battery is empty, wait for the Ultra Mobile PC
to cool down (especially the battery). The temperature should be
within 15-25°C (59-77°F). Then insert the AC adapter to recharge
the battery.
2.5 Power Consumption
The Windows™ operating system has incorporated the latest
state-of-the-art ACPI (Advanced Conguration Power Interface)
power management methodology. In order to fully utilize the
power of your battery packs, it would be a good idea for you to
spend sometime to acquire a basic understanding of the power
management concept from your operating system.
In Windows™ Operating Systems, you can go through Power
Options of the Control Panel according to the version of
Windows™ Operating System the Ultra Mobile PC applies. We
shall not describe them in details.
2.6 Reducing Power Consumption
Although your Ultra Mobile PC (together with the operating
system) is capable of power conservation, there are measures you
can take to reduce the power consumption:
• Use the AC power whenever possible.
• Try to use the HDD drive to read and write les, instead of
using the external USB FDD.
• Disable unused devices, such as Web Cam, WLAN, Bluetooth®,
and etc.
• Decrease LCD panel brightness through Windows.
Note: Whenever system is powered on or powered off, make sure
the battery pack is installed in the battery pack compartment.
