[. . . ] There is a protection circuit inside the Booktop M1022 to prevent overheating. My battery operation time is not as long as it should be. 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. 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. 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 M1022 and have the AC adapter connected whenever possible. English 14 2. 2 Recharging The Battery Pack Your Booktop M1022 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 M1022. „„ Connect the AC adapter to the Booktop M1022 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 M1022 is OFF, a depleted Li-Ion battery will take 3. 5 hours to recharge. Booktop M1022 SERIES USER’S MANUAL I did not use my spare battery for months. I have a problem with recharging it. 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 M1022 applies. We shall not describe them in any detail. 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. Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours. English 15 2. 4 Battery Maintenance To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should occasionally let the Booktop M1022 deplete its battery power completely before recharging. To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your Booktop M1022 consume the remaining battery power. [. . . ] Recovery an image file allows you to restore your operating system to factory defaults. 5. After all the selections have been made, the screen shows "RESTORE NOW…", indicating your computer is now recovering the operating system data. When the recovery is complete, the computer will automatically restart and restore to factory defaults.
