Battery Packs

The Mesa 2 runs on battery power, using a removable, rechargeable, Li-Ion battery pack. A non-removable, internal battery pack is an option. The tablet operates on either or both battery packs.

Battery Status and Management

Battery icons on the Status bar shows the status of installed batteries. The large battery icon represents a removable battery while a smaller battery icon represents an optional internal battery. The status of these icons follows:

If both the internal and the removable batteries are installed, a bigger battery icon and a smaller battery icon are shown.

If a removable battery is not present, both battery icons are shown, but the larger battery icon has an exclamation mark signifying that it is not present.

If only the removable battery is present, only the large battery icon is shown.

Chapter 2 Standard Features 15

The charge state of both batteries can be observed by the state of the battery icons in the Status bar. The more the batteries are filled in, the greater the charges are.

By tapping on the battery icons in the Quick Setting tray or by going to Settings > Battery, a more detailed view of battery usage is shown in a graph. If both batteries are present, there is a dotted line at 33% representing the smaller internal battery, which makes up only a third of the entire charge. If only the internal battery is present, the charge line will go no higher than 33%. The removable battery is represented above 33%.

Preserving Battery Power

There are settings you can adjust to preserve battery power.

The backlight brightness can be adjusted with the and keys, in Settings > Display, or from the Quick

Settings tray. The Mesa 2 uses less power when the display brightness is decreased.

The time that the unit stays on before sleeping can be set in Settings > Display > Sleep. The Mesa 2 uses less power when it is sleeping than when it is fully awake.

Charging the Battery Pack(s)

For instructions on how to insert and charge the removable

battery pack, refer to the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting

Started, Install the Battery...

It typically takes 4 to 5 hours to fully charge a battery pack.

For tablets that have both a removable battery pack and an optional internal battery pack, the intelligent internal battery charging circuit first charges the battery pack with the least amount of energy. When this battery pack comes to the same level as the other battery pack, then both battery packs are charged at the same time until they are both fully charged.

Battery packs are charged most efficiently at room temperature (68°F or 20°C). They will not charge if it is too hot or too cold.

We recommend that you keep the Mesa 2 battery pack(s) charging when it is not in use for up to two weeks. When you

16 Mesa 2 Rugged Tablet Powered by Android

plug the tablet into the wall charger that comes with it, the batteries are prevented from being overcharged.

Battery Life

Battery life on a full charge can be 20 hours or more. This varies depending on whether or not you also have an optional internal battery, the applications used, backlight usage, and radio usage. The optional internal battery adds

5-6 extra hours of battery life.

The shelf life for battery packs is about one year. The battery packs should be recharged at least once per year. This prevents the battery packs from discharging to a level that might damage the batteries. Battery packs that are not recharged at least every year, could fail to work or may have reduced capacity. Battery packs typically last 1,000 to

3,000 charging cycles.

CAUTION: Only use batteries designed for the Mesa 2 from an approved vendor. Use of non-approved batteries may void your product warranty. The Mesa 2 must be returned to the factory for replacement of the optional internal battery, although the internal battery pack is designed to last the life of the tablet.

Power States

The Mesa 2 runs on battery power, or external power. If external power is used, a replaceable and/or internal battery must be installed.

CAUTION: The unit is not designed to run on external power without a battery installed. Doing so can damage internal components of your unit and void the warranty.

Removing the Replaceable Battery

To remove the replaceable battery to replace it or to insert or remove SD cards, follow these steps.

1. Power off the tablet.

2. To remove the battery compartment door, push the battery lock switch in, slide it to the unlocked position, and remove the door.

Chapter 2 Standard Features 17

CAUTION: The Mesa 2 is not sealed against water and dust when the battery pack and battery door are not installed properly.

Select Disabled during sleep to have the RS-232 output and input signals disabled automatically when the tablet is in sleep mode. If your app and/or RS-232 device experiences communication failures when tablet enters or exits sleep mode, then do not use this option.

Configure pin 9 as input or 5 volt power supply: Pin 9 is the

Ring-In signal input. It is rarely used by devices anymore and has become a popular pin to provide a power source to an RS-232 device. Select Input if your device uses Ring-In signal or if it does not need to be powered from the RS-232 port. Select 5 Volt Power Supply to make pin 9 a power supply to be used by the RS-232 device.

The power supply is enabled automatically without needing any interaction with the COM port. Depending on the model, the power supply supplies either 5 VDC or

12 VDC.

Turn on Disable power supply during sleep to cause the power supply to automatically turn off when the tablet is in sleep mode. This can allow the RS-232 device to conserve battery power in sleep mode. If your app and/ or RS-232 device experiences communication failures when the Mesa 2 enters or exits sleep mode, then leave this option off.
