Using the Stylistic 2300 Pen Tablet
Charging the Battery Pack 2
The Stylistic 2300 battery pack can be charged while it is installed in the pen tablet.
To do so:
1. Connect a DC power source, such as the AC adapter, to the DC input connector
on the pen tablet. The DC Input icon appears in the Status display. If the battery
pack charge level is below 90%, the battery pack begins charging and the
Charging icon appears in the Status display. If the battery pack charge is 90% or
higher when you connect DC power, the battery pack will not charge; this prevents
overcharging the battery pack.
2. Look at the Battery Gauge icon in the Status display to determine the percent of
charge in the battery pack. See “Status Display” in Chapter 1 of this manual for a
description of the Battery Gauge icon.
As long as DC power remains connected to the pen tablet, the charging process
continues until the battery pack charge reaches 100%. Charge times shown in Table
2-2 are for a fully discharged battery pack charging both while the pen tablet is and is
not in use.
Table 2-2 Battery Pack Charging Time
Also note the following with respect to charging the battery pack:
• You can use the system, suspend system operation, or shut down and turn off the
system without interrupting the charging process; however, using the system
while the battery pack is charging will cause the battery pack to charge at a slower
rate, as noted in Table 2-2.
• As noted in the procedure above, the system will not begin charging the battery
pack if the battery pack charge level is 90% or higher when the system is initially
connected to external DC power. (This prevents the battery pack from being
overcharged.)
