TIPS FOR CONSERVING BATTERY POWER
You can extend the charge life of your battery by
conserving battery power. (Your results may vary
depending on your application and how the system is
configured.) Here are some suggestions to help you
conserve battery power:
• Use an external power source such as the AC adapter
whenever the system is docked.
• Suspend system operation if you know that you won’t
be using the system for a while.
• Shut down the system if you won’t be using the system
for an extended period of time.
• Switch the wireless LAN switch Off when wireless
LAN functionality in not needed (applicable only for
systems with optional wireless LAN).
• Use power management (available from the Power
Options in the Control Panel) to help you conserve
power automatically.
• Reduce the brightness of the LCD.
• Battery life is dependent upon the operating system,
power settings, and applications in use.
Operation of the Bridge Battery
When installed in the Tablet PC, the battery provides
power to some system components—even when the
system is in the Off state. When the battery is removed,
power is supplied to these components by a “bridge”
battery that is built into the Tablet PC.
The bridge battery is not designed for long-term opera-
tion. To maintain the bridge battery properly, observe the
following measures:
• To prevent draining the bridge battery, always store
the system with a charged battery installed.
• If the bridge battery becomes drained, it takes
approximately 8 hours for it to be fully recharged.
• The bridge battery charges when the AC Adapter is
connected and the system is in On or Off states or
Standby mode. It charges from the battery only when
the system is in the On state.
MODEM CONNECTION
The Stylistic ST5100 Series Tablet PC is designed to
accept a standard RJ-11 telephone plug. Connect the plug
to the modem jack located on the left-hand side of the
Tablet PC (See Figure 1-5 on page 5 for location). The tele-
phone plug can be inserted whether or not the Tablet PC
has power applied.
If you need assistance configuring the Stylistic ST5100
Series Tablet PC modem or LAN, contact your local help
desk or reseller.
Under Federal, state, or local law, it may
be illegal to dispose of batteries by putting
them in the trash. Be sure to dispose of
batteries in accordance with local
government regulations.

• The bridge battery function is disabled if
Wake On LAN is enabled in the BIOS.
• The system arrives with the bridge
battery in a discharged state. Be sure to
charge it sufficiently before relying upon
it to support the system in the event of
battery removal.
The internal 56 Kbps LAN/modem module
installed in the Stylistic ST5100 Series
Tablet PC has actual maximum transfer
rates of 53 Kbps (receive), 33.6 Kbps
(send), and 14.4 Kbps (fax). Download
rates are limited to 53 Kbps in the United
States due to FCC restrictions.
