Battery Charging
Considering mobile use, the PC has been designed so that it can be supplied with power
from a battery besides the AC adapter.
1 Connect the AC adapter.
Connecting the AC adapter starts charging, causing the battery charging indicator and the battery
remaining power to be shown on the status indicator LCD.
2 After ensuring that the battery charging indicator has disappeared, remove the AC adapter.
Critical Points
After purchasing the PC or if you have not charged the battery for more than a month,
charge it before use.
Battery charging completes when the battery charging indicator ( ) disappears and the
battery remaining indicator ( )on the left changes from flashing to lighting. Spend
enough time so that the battery is fully charged.
When the battery remaining power is 90% or more, the battery is not charged if the AC
adapter is connected. Charging starts when the remaining power is 89% or less.
When the MAIN switch is set off, the indicators on the status indicator LCD disappear awhile
after charging completes.
The battery charging performance may lower if the environmental temperature is too high or
too low.
The battery temperature is high immediately after use. Charging it under this condition may
be impossible due to the protection function of the battery ( flashes). Charging will start
awhile after the battery temperature lowers.
If you have an additionally mounted battery, it is also charged at the same time.
