Lithium ion Battery
Your Fujitsu Stylistic Q737 has a Lithium ion
battery that provides power for operating your
Tablet PC when no external power source
is available. The battery is durable and long
lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme
temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other
hazards.
The Lithium ion battery operating time may
become shorter if it is used under the following
conditions:
• When used at temperatures that exceeds a
low of 41°F (5°C) or a high of 95°F (35°C).
Extreme temperatures not only reduce
charging efficiency, but can also cause
battery deterioration. The charging icon on
the Status Indicator panel will flash when
you try to charge a battery that is outside its
operating temperature range.
• When using a high current device such as
a modem, CD-ROM drive or the hard drive,
using the AC adapter will conserve your
battery life.
Do not leave a faulty battery in your
Tablet PC. It may damage your AC
adapter, another battery or your Tablet
PC itself. If may also prevent operation
of your Tablet PC by draining all
available current into the bad battery.
Actual battery life will very based
on screen brightness, applications,
features, power management settings,
battery condition and other customer
preferences. CD-ROM drive or hard
drive usage may also have a significant
impact on battery life. The battery
charging capacity is reduced as the
battery ages. If your battery is running
low quickly you should replace it with a
new one.
Recharging the Batteries
If you want to know the condition of the primary
Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level
indicator located on the Status Indicator panel.
The indicator changes as the battery level
changes.
The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally
using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery
make sure the battery that needs to be charged
is installed in your Tablet PC and connect the
AC adapter.
Make sure that the Battery Charging
indicator and the percentage charge is
shown inside the Battery Level icon on
the Status Indicator Panel.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion
battery therefore you do not need to discharge
the battery completely before recharging.
The charge times will be significantly longer
if your Tablet PC is in use while the battery
is charging. If you want to charge the battery
more quickly, put your Tablet PC into Standby
mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging
the battery.
Using heavy current devices such
as Modem or frequent CD-ROM and
PCMCIA powered external devices
accessed may prevent charging
completely.
