What is in my Briefcase/Backpack  The M275 computer  The AC Power Adapter  Pen points and replacement tool

Replacing the Pen Point

Removing the Pen

Checking Battery Status  Can be done two ways One method is to press the Fn key and the F2 status key Generally displays in the upper left corner of the screen Tells you how the system is being powered as well as the percentage remaining

The method of testing battery status

Other Power Items  You can also set the Power Management scheme so that your computer will turn on any time that you lift the LCD panel. Done via the BIOS (Set up) feature  At 10% you are prompted to plug into the power outlet  At 3% system will go into stand by  Can be adjusted from Control Panel and Power Management

Charging Considerations  A battery has a finite number of charges thus think about when you want to charge the battery  Bad practice is to teach for one hour and then return and plug the system in  Good practice is to teach for one hour and continue to fully discharge the battery

Charging Considerations (cont’d)  Be cautious with the use of the port replicator as that will cause the battery to be charged That became my downfall with other systems  Battery can be re-calibrated either using the BIOS

Caring for the Screen  Use only your Tablet PC’s pen on the service No regular pens or PDA stylus There are other vendors and styles of pens, however be certain they work before investing  Place nothing heavier than your hand on the screen

Caring for the Screen (cont’d)  Do NOT transport with the screen exposed.  Always have the screen closed unless using the tablet functionality  Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure  Do NOT place liquids directly on the screen

When Cleaning  Use only a soft rag  Use mild spray or water only to clean the screen  Best method is to moisten rag slightly and then wipe
