Battery This section explains battery types, use, recharging methods and handling.
Battery pack When the AC adaptor is not connected, the tablet's main power source is
this lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as the main
battery.Real Time Clock (RTC) function
The Real Time Clock (RTC) function is supported. The main battery
provides power for the internal real time clock and calendar function and
also maintains the system configuration while the tablet is turned off. If the
RTC lasting time completely runs out, the system will lose this information
and the real time clock and calendar will stop working.
You can change the Real Time Clock settings in the BIOS setup utility.
Please refer to Troubleshooting  for further information.
Care and use of the battery pack This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle
your battery pack properly.
Refer to the enclosed  Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort  for
detailed precautions and handling instructions. The battery pack can explode if not used, handled or disposed of
properly. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or
regulations.
Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5
and 35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak,
battery pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life might
be shortened.
Charging the battery When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the tablet will enable
Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data, and automatically turn
itself off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged. User's Manual

							Procedures
To recharge the battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the Micro-USB
port on the tablet and plug the other end into a working outlet.Use only the tablet connected to an AC power source or optional TOSHIBA
Battery charger to charge the battery pack. Never attempt to charge the
battery pack with any other charger.
Charging Time
The following table shows the approximate time required to fully charge a
discharged battery. Please be aware that the charging time when the tablet is on is affected by
ambient temperature, the temperature of the tablet and how you are using
the tablet - if you make heavy use of external devices for example, the
battery might scarcely charge at all during operation.

Battery charging notice
The battery may not begin charging immediately under the following
conditions: The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it
might not charge at all). To ensure the battery charges to its full
capacity, you should charge it at room temperature of between 5°C to
35°C (41°F to 95°F).
The battery is nearly completely discharged. In this instance you
should leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the
battery should begin charging.
The battery may have a rapid decrease in battery operating time when you
try to charge a battery under the following conditions: The battery has not been used for a long time.
The battery has completely discharged and been left in the tablet for a
long time. User's Manual

							In such cases you should follow the steps as detailed below:
1.
Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the tablet with the power on
until the system automatically turns itself off.
2. Connect the AC adaptor to the Micro-USB port of the tablet, and to a wall outlet that is supplying power.
3. Charge the battery until the battery reaches its full capacity.
Repeat these steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal
capacity.
Monitoring battery capacity Remaining battery power can be monitored using the following methods. Tapping the battery icon on the Windows Taskbar
Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window
Please be aware that the actual remaining operating time may differ
slightly from the calculated time. With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity will
gradually decrease. In view of this it will be noted that an often used,
older battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when
both are fully charged.
Maximizing battery operating time A battery's usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a
single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on: Processor speed
Screen brightness
System Sleep Mode
System Hibernation Mode
Display power off period
How much charge the battery contained to begin with.
How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the
battery supplies power. Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if
you are frequently turning the tablet off and on. Where you store your programs and data.
The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low
temperatures.
Batteries exhausted time When you turn off the power of your tablet with battery fully charged, the
battery will be exhausted within the following approximate period. User's Manual

Keyboard. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, which can
cause tablet damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.
This Memory media slot supports the following memory media:
microSD/SDHC/SDXC Card. Please note that not all memory media have been tested and verified
to work correctly. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee that all
memory media will operate properly.
Figure 4-1 Example of memory media (microSD card) Points to note about the memory media card
microSD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards comply with SDMI (Secure Digital
Music Initiative), which is a technology adopted to prevent unlawful copy or
playback of digital music. For this reason, you cannot copy or playback
protected material on another tablet or other device, and you may not
reproduce any copyrighted material except for your personal enjoyment.

							Memory media format
New media cards are formatted according to specific standards. If you wish
to reformat a media card, be sure to do so with a device that uses media
cards.Formatting a memory media card
Memory media cards are sold already formatted in conformity to specific
standards. If you reformat a memory card, be sure to reformat it with a
device such as digital camera or digital audio player that uses the memory
cards, not with the format command provided within Windows. Should you need to format all areas of the memory card, including the
protected area, you will need to obtain an appropriate application that
applies the copy protection system.
Media care Observe the following precautions when handling the card. Do not twist or bend cards.
Do not expose cards to liquids or store in humid areas or lay media
close to containers of liquid.
Do not touch the metal part of a card or expose it to liquids or let it get
dirty.
After using card, return it to its case.
The card is designed so that it can be inserted only one way. Do not
try to force the card into the slot. Do not leave a card partially inserted in the slot. Press the card until
you hear it click into place. Memory cards have a limited lifespan, so it is important to backup
important data.
Do not write to a card if the battery power is low. Low power could
affect writing accuracy.
Do not remove a card while read/write is in progress.
For more details on using memory cards, see manuals accompanying the
cards.
