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.

18 Quick Reference Guide

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:

• Using optical drives.

• Using wireless communications devices, PC Cards, Express Cards, media

memory cards, or USB devices.

• Using high-brightness display settings, 3D screen savers, or other power-

intensive programs such as complex 3D graphics applications.

• 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.

Quick Reference Guide 19

Checking the Battery Charge

The following features provide information on the battery charge:

• Dell QuickSet Battery Meter

• Microsoft Windows

Power Meter

window and

Power icon

(

in

Windows Vista and

in Windows XP)

• Battery charge gauge and health gauge

• 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:

• Battery charge (check by pressing and

releasing

the status button)

• 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.

20 Quick Reference Guide

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:
