VII
Power Conservation
This tablet computer consumes less power compared to conventional consumer computers.
The power consumption may be further reduced by properly configuring the Power
Management Setup.
It is recommended that the power saving features be enabled even when not running on
battery power. Power Management features can conserve power without degrading system
performance.
Power Safety
There are specific power requirements for your tablet computer:
⚫Only use an approved AC adapter designed for this tablet computer.
⚫There is a 3-prong grounded plug for the AC adapter. The 3rd prong is an important
mechanism for ensuring product safety. Please do not neglect the importance of this
mechanism. If you are unable to access a compatible outlet, please hire a qualified
electrician to install a compatible outlet for you.
⚫When unplugging the AC power cord, please make sure to disconnect the cord by
pulling from the plug head instead of pulling from the wire to prevent wire damage.
⚫Make sure the power outlet and any other extension cord(s) you use can support the
total current load of all the connected devices.
⚫Before cleaning the tablet computer, please make sure it is disconnected from any
external power source.
Warning
Before any upgrade procedures, make sure the power is turned off, and all the
cables are disconnected (including telephone lines). Also, it is advisable to
remove your battery to prevent your tablet computer from accidentally turning on.

VIII
Battery Preservation
Precaution
⚫Only use batteries designed for this computer. Using incompatible battery types may
cause explosion, leakage or damage to the computer.
⚫Do not store your battery in high moisture condition, low temperature or high
temperature. Proper storage temperature is 5~20°C and capacity is suggested to
remain 50%.
⚫Do not put your computer and battery near any heat source(oven, stove…).
⚫Do not remove the battery from the computer while the computer is powered on.
⚫Do not continuously use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged
(e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer is able to continuously work with
a damaged battery, the circuit damage may occur and possibly cause fire.
⚫Always use the charger designed for this computer to recharge the battery. Incorrect
recharging may cause the battery to explode.
⚫Do not try to service a battery by yourself. For battery service or replacement, please
contact your service representatives.
⚫Please dispose of damaged battery promptly and carefully. Explosion or leakage may
occur, if the battery is exposed to fire, improperly handled or discarded.
⚫If the battery will not be used for a long period, please charge the battery to 50% and
remove AC adapter. If the battery is stored in a system, it should be recharged to 50
every 3 months. If the battery is stored solely, it should be recharged every 6 months.
This could prevent the battery from being over discharge and damaged.
⚫If your system always connects the AC power supply, the battery should be discharged
to 50% every two weeks.
Battery Capacity Decline
The capacity of a Li-ion battery decreases over time due to it’s chemistry features.
Normal Li-ion battery can be fully charged and discharged 300~500 cycles. A battery which
is properly used in room temperature (25℃) can be charged and discharged about 300 times
(or a year) before its capacity gradually decrease to 80%.
The decrease rate of battery capacity depends on factors including system design, model
number, power consumption, software program and system power management. With
extreme temperature or abusing the battery might lose 70% of its capacity in a relatively
short time.

IX
Battery protection
If a battery keeps being charged with high voltage, the cell would age faster. To prevent this,
once the battery is charged to 100%, the system will not keep charging it and the capacity
might decrease and remain between 90~100%.
Notice:
For safety, recharging will stop if the internal temperature of the battery is out of range(<0°C;
>50°C). Please note that recharging could have stopped before the ambient temperature
reaching these boundaries because the internal temperature of the battery does not equal
to the ambient temperature.
Battery Disposal & Caution
The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable
battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its service life,
under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of
this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local
solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or
proper disposal. Danger of explosion may possibly occur, if the
battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or the
equivalent battery recommended by the manufacturer. Discard the
used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

X
Environmental Information, Material Safety & Recycling
All materials used in the manufacturing of this equipment are recyclable or environmentally
friendly. Please recycle the packing materials in accordance with local regulations at the end
of the product's service life.
Notice:
⚫The equipment may contain insignificant amount of hazardous substances for health
and environment below control level.
⚫To avoid spreading such substances into the eco system and to minimize the pressure
on the natural environment, you are encouraged to reuse or recycle most of the
materials in a safe way after the product’s service life.
⚫For more information on collection, reuse and recycle of materials, please consult local
or regional waste administrations for more information. You can also contact your dealer
for more information on the environmental details of the equipment.
⚫The symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the product
(electrical and electronic equipment) should not be placed in municipal
waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
