Chapter 2 Battery
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 configuration, 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.
U60 Ultra Mobile PC User’s Guide
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.
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 Configuration 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 files, 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.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting
In this chapter, we will list some frequently encountered technical problems and tell you how to resolve them.
6.1 Frequently Asked Question
My computer switches to hibernation mode much too quickly, and I have to constantly hit a key or move the mouse to bring back the screen. What can I do?
This is part of Windows Power Management. Access
Power Management by clicking on Start / Control Panel /
Performance and Maintenance / Power Options, and change the time next to the "Turn off monitor" option to the time you want. You have the choice of either adjusting time for the power supply or for the battery.

How to unplug or eject devices?
1. In the notification area next to your task bar, double-click the Safe Removal icon. Safe Removal displays a list of
Plug and Play devices that support safe removal and that are currently attached to the system.
If you do not see the Safe Removal icon, your device does not supports safe removal, and you cannot unplug or eject your device using Safe Removal.
2. In Safely Remove Hardware, in the list of devices, select the device that you want to unplug or eject, and then click
Stop. This tells the system that you will be unplugging or ejecting the device.
3. In Stop a Hardware device, click OK.
A notification appears stating that it is now safe to unplug or eject the device.
Caution
• Unplugging or ejecting a device that supports safe removal without first using the Safe Removal application to warn the system can cause data to be lost or your system to become unstable. For example, if a device is unplugged during a data transfer, data loss is likely. If you use Safe Removal, however, you can warn the system before you unplug or eject a device, preventing possible loss of data.
Note
• For removable storage devices that can safely be removed while the system is on, the system disables write caching by default. It does this so the devices can be removed without loss of data. When write caching is disabled, however, the system will likely experience slower performance, so be sure to enable write caching when you have finished removing the device.
