3.5 Using Hot-Swap Battery Feature
Important:
Notice that hot-swap battery is an optional feature of the M133KML(HB)
Series Ultra-Rugged Military Tablet and may not be present in your device. Contact your
sales representative for more information.
The tablet computer supports hot-swapping of batteries, meaning the tablet does not need to be
powered off in order to replace the main battery. To support such mechanism, there is a backup battery
inside the tablet that is charged up with the main battery. This backup battery cannot be removed, and
must have adequate power for hot swapping of main battery to be done without issue. When the
backup battery is fully charged, it can sustain up to 5 minutes of runtime to allow for battery hot-
swapping.
Perform the following to hot swap the batteries:
1.
While the tablet is powered on, open Winset to check on the power level of the Backup battery.
2.
If the Backup battery level is at “Low”, please charge the tablet with AC Power until the Backup
battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, and do not remove the main battery.
3.
If the Backup battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, remove the main battery.
4.
Insert a new charged battery into the battery compartment.
