`
`Using a Battery
` CAUTION: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or
`explosion. Replace the battery only with a compatible battery purchased from
`Dell. The battery is designed to work with your Dell computer. Do not use a battery
`from other computers with your computer.
`
` CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When your battery
`no longer holds a charge, call your local waste disposal or environmental agency
`for advice on disposing of a lithium-ion battery. See “Battery Disposal” in the
`Product Information Guide.
`
` CAUTION: Misuse of the battery may increase the risk of fire or chemical burn.
`Do not puncture, incinerate, disassemble, or expose the battery to temperatures
`above 65°C (149°F). Keep the battery away from children. Handle damaged or
`leaking batteries with extreme care. Damaged batteries may leak and cause
`personal injury or equipment damage.

`
`
`
`Battery Performance
`
` NOTE: For information about the Dell warranty for your computer, see the Product
`Information Guide or separate paper warranty document that shipped with your
`computer.
`
`For optimal computer performance and to help preserve BIOS settings,
`operate your Dell™ Tablet-PC with the main battery installed at all times.
`One battery is supplied as standard equipment in the battery bay.
` NOTE: Because the battery may not be fully charged, use the AC adapter to
`connect your new computer to an electrical outlet the first time you use the
`computer. For best results, operate the computer with the AC adapter until the
`battery is fully charged. To view battery charge status, check the Power Meter in
`Power Options (see “Accessing Power Options Properties” in your User’s Guide.)
`
` NOTE: Battery operating time varies depending on operating conditions.
`
` NOTE: It is recommended that you connect your computer to an electrical outlet
`when writing to a CD or DVD.
`
`Operating time on battery power is significantly reduced when you perform
`operations including, but not limited to, the following:
`
`(cid:127) Using optical drives.
`
`(cid:127) Using wireless communications devices, PC Cards, Express Cards, media
`memory cards, or USB devices.
`
`(cid:127) Using high-brightness display settings, 3D screen savers, or other power-
`intensive programs such as complex 3D graphics applications.
`
`(cid:127) Running the computer in maximum performance mode. See “Configuring
`Power Management Settings” in your User’s Guide for information about
`accessing Windows Power Options Properties or Dell QuickSet, which you
`can use to configure power management settings.
`
`You can check the battery charge before you insert the battery into the
`computer. You can also set power management options to alert you when the
`battery charge is low.

`Lenovo EX-1049, Page 018
`IPR2021-00822 (Lenovo Inc. v. LiTL LLC.)
`
`
`
`Checking the Battery Charge
`
`The following features provide information on the battery charge:
`
`(cid:127) Dell QuickSet Battery Meter
`(cid:127) Microsoft Windows Power Meter window and Power icon (
` in Windows XP)
`Windows Vista and
`(cid:127) Battery charge gauge and health gauge
`
` in
`
`(cid:127) Low-battery warning
`
`Dell™ QuickSet Battery Meter
`
`If Dell QuickSet is installed, press <Fn><F3> to display the QuickSet
`Battery Meter. The Battery Meter displays status, battery health, charge level,
`and charge completion time for the battery in your computer.
`
`For more information about QuickSet, right-click the QuickSet icon in the
`taskbar, and click Help.
`
`Charge Gauge
`
`By using the charge gauge on the battery, you can check:
`
`(cid:127) Battery charge (check by pressing and releasing the status button)
`
`(cid:127) Battery health (check by pressing and holding the status button)
`
`The battery operating time is largely determined by the number of times it is
`charged. After hundreds of charge and discharge cycles, batteries lose some
`charge capacity—or battery health. That is, a battery can show a status of
`“charged” but maintain a reduced charge capacity (health).
`
`Check the Battery Charge
`To check the battery charge, press and release the status button on the battery
`charge gauge to illuminate the charge-level lights. Each light represents
`approximately 20 percent of the total battery charge. For example, if the
`battery has 80 percent of its charge remaining, four of the lights are on. If no
`lights appear, the battery has no charge.
`
`Quick Reference Guide
`
`19
`
`Lenovo EX-1049, Page 019
`IPR2021-00822 (Lenovo Inc. v. LiTL LLC.)
`
`
`
`Check the Battery Health
`
` NOTE: You can check battery health in one of two ways: by using the charge gauge
`on the battery as described below or by using the Battery Meter in Dell QuickSet.
`For information about QuickSet, right-click the icon in the taskbar, and click Help.
`To check the battery health using the charge gauge, press and hold the status
`button on the battery charge gauge for at least 3 seconds. If no lights appear,
`the battery is in good condition, and more than 80 percent of its original
`charge capacity remains. Each light represents an incremental degradation. If
`five lights appear, less than 60 percent of the charge capacity remains, and you
`should consider replacing the battery. See "Using a Battery" on page 17 for
`more information about the battery operating time.
`
`Low-Battery Warning
`
` NOTICE: To avoid losing or corrupting data, save your work immediately after a
`low-battery warning, then connect the computer to an electrical outlet. If the
`battery runs completely out of power, hibernate mode begins automatically.
`
`A pop-up window warns you when the battery charge is approximately
`90 percent depleted. If two batteries are installed, the low-battery warning
`means that the combined charge of both batteries is approximately
`90 percent depleted. The computer enters hibernate mode when the battery
`charge is at a critically low level.
`You can change the settings for the battery alarms in QuickSet or the Power
`Options Properties window. See “Configuring Power Management Settings”
`in your User’s Guide for information about accessing QuickSet or the Power
`Options Properties window.
`To manually enter hibernate mode in Windows Vista, click the Windows
`Vista Start button
`, and move your mouse over the right triangle beside
`the Lock icon to open the Power Options Properties window, and then click
`Hibernate.
`To manually enter hibernate mode in Windows XP, you must first enable
`Hibernate mode.
`
`To enable Hibernate mode:

`
`Charging the Battery
`
`When you connect the computer to an electrical outlet or install a battery
`while the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, the computer checks
`the battery charge and temperature. If necessary, the AC adapter then charges
`the battery and maintains the battery charge.
` NOTE: With Dell™ ExpressCharge™, when the computer is turned off, the AC
`adapter charges a completely discharged battery to 80 percent in about 1 hour and
`to 100 percent in approximately 2 hours. Charge time is longer with the computer
`turned on. You can leave the battery in the computer for as long as you like. The
`battery’s internal circuitry prevents the battery from overcharging.
`
`If the battery is hot from being used in your computer or being in a hot
`environment, the battery may not charge when you connect the computer to
`an electrical outlet.

`allow the computer and the battery to cool to room temperature. Then
`connect the computer to an electrical outlet to continue charging the battery.
`
`For information about resolving problems with a battery, see “Power
`Problems” in your User’s Guide.
`
`Removing the Battery
`
` CAUTION: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or
`explosion. Replace the battery only with a compatible battery purchased from
`Dell. The battery is designed to work with your Dell™ computer. Do not use a
`battery from other computers with your computer.
`
` CAUTION: Before performing these procedures, turn off the computer, disconnect
`the AC adapter from the electrical outlet and the computer, disconnect the modem
`from the wall connector and computer, and remove any other external cables from
`the computer.
`
` NOTICE: You must remove all external cables from the computer to avoid possible
`connector damage.
`
` NOTICE: If you choose to replace the battery with the computer in standby mode,
`you have up to 1 minute to complete the battery replacement before the computer
`shuts down and loses any unsaved data.
`
`To remove the battery:
`1
`
`If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it. See
`the documentation that came with your docking device for instructions.
`2 Ensure that the computer is turned off or hibernated in a power
`management mode.
`3 Slide the battery-bay latch release on the bottom of the computer, and
`then remove the battery from the bay.

`
`Storing a Battery
