You should use the AC adapter whenever possible; use the battery pack only when AC power is unavailable. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack allows you to operate your Booktop M1005 computer without an external power source. When you use the AC adapter to connect your Booktop M1005 to a power outlet, the internal battery will begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the indicator panel will be on. Once the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge icon will turn off. Quick charging time is 2.5 hours for the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery when the computer is turned off, while the normal battery charging time is 3.5 hours. „„ Operating video, or audio equipment can increase the use of your computer’s power. „„ Decreasing the monitor brightness can also save battery power. „„ When the battery is not fully charged, allow your battery to be charged completely before using it (i.e., before disconnecting AC power). Calibrating the battery before use is also highly recommended. This is done in the system BIOS. „„ Li-Ion Battery is vulnerable; do not charge it with other power adapters, otherwise fire or explosion may occur.

1.13 Connecting the AC Adapter English 16

Replacing the Battery The battery will gradually weaken over time. We recommend that you replace your battery when you notice a significant decrease of battery capacity. To change the battery pack, follow the steps below: 1. Turn off the computer. 2. Close the lid and flip the computer over. 3. Slide the battery latch. Continue to hold it until the battery is removed.

The AC adapter converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to the computer. It can automatically adjust to any voltage from 100 to 240 volts and outputs power at 12V, (12V, 3.0A for M1005), allowing you to use your Booktop M1005 computer in almost any region globally. CAUTION: Use only the AC adapter and the power cord we recommend. Using the wrong adapter may damage your computer. We assume no responsibilities for damages arising from misuse of AC adapters.

4. Make sure the replacement battery is properly oriented before inserting it into the battery compartment. Note: The battery can not be charged to 100% when remaining battery is no less than 95%. It is based on the supplier’s advice, and to extend charging frequency and battery life.

Maintenance of the AC Adapter „„ Do not connect the adapter to any other device. „„ Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of it. Carefully route the power cord and keep cables away from all traffic. „„ When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord itself but on the plug connector instead. „„ If you are using an extension cord, make sure that the devices plugged onto the cord do not exceed its total capacity. Furthermore, the devices plugged into the electrical outlet shall not exceed the fuse’s total ampere rating. „„ Please verify power voltage before connecting the electrical cord to the power outlet. If you are uncertain of its power specification, please consult with your local vendors or power company for more details.

Booktop M1005 SERIES USER’S MANUAL Your Booktop M1005 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 Booktop M1005 supports both on-line and off-line recharge. Follow the procedure below to recharge battery: „„ Make sure the battery pack is installed in the Booktop M1005 „„ Connect the AC adapter to theBooktop M1005 and to an electrical outlet. (See Page 10 for Instructions) When a battery pack is being recharged, its battery LED (located at the upper left corner of LCD display) should be lit. For details on the LEDs, please refer to Chapter 1.3. When the Booktop M1005 is OFF, a depleted Li-Ion battery will take 3.5 hours to recharge.

2.3 Questions And Answers I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack. Is this normal? The battery will generate heat during recharging and discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the BBooktop M1005 to prevent overheating. User needs not 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 when they are not being recharged. To make sure a battery pack is fully charged, recharge before use. Always keep the battery inside the Booktop M1005 and have the AC adapter connected whenever possible.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

I did not use my spare battery for months. I have a problem with 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 Booktop M1005 deplete its battery power completely before recharging. To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your Booktop M1005 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 Booktop M1005 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 some time 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 Booktop M1005 applies. We shall not describe them in any detail.

2.6 Reducing Power Consumption Although your Booktop M1005 (together with the operating system) is capable of power conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption: „„ Use the AC Adapter for power whenever possible. „„ Try to use the HDD drive to read and write files, instead of using the external USB device. „„ 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.
