Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

1. Make sure that the tablet PC is turned off.
2. Place the tablet PC upside down.
3. Put Battery Pack into the battery slot and screw tightly with four screws.
Rugged Computing
4. Plug the DC cord of the AC adapter to the power connector of the tablet PC.
5. Plug the female end of the AC power cord to the AC adapter and the male end to the power electrical outlet.
6. Turn on the Tablet PC few seconds later after power is being supplied from the electrical outlet to the AC adapter.
7. When the AC adapter is connected, the Battery Pack is also under charging. You can check the Battery Status LED indicator to see the currently progress. The indicator turns to green when is fully charged.
(For information on using battery power, see “Chapter 3 The Power Management”)
**Caution
When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or the tablet PC.
When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord.
Rugged Computing

CHAPTER 3 TABLET PC POWER MANAGEMENT
3.1 About AC Adapter
Our Tablet PC support one set of AC adapter and power code by country area. Please confirm with your dealer for appropriate power code if necessary.
**Caution
1. When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or tablet PC.
2. Always hold the plug head when you unplug the connector, Never pull on the cord.
3. The AC adapter is designed for use with your tablet PC only. Connecting the
AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.
The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC. The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because the tablet PC runs on DC power input, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power.

3.2 Charging and Checking Charging Status
3.2.1 Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time.
