SCREEN ORIENTATION
AND G-SENSOR
Your computer has a built-in accelerometer that detects the tablet’s
orientation and automatically rotates the screen to suit the orientation.
You can lock the screen orientation by using the lock switch. The
orientation may also be locked at other times, including:
• When the tablet is attached to the cradle.
• With an HDMI cable is plugged in.
• When programs designed for a specific orientation are running.
Note: You are advised to keep your tablet in landscape orientation
with the webcam above the screen while you are making a video call.

POWER MANAGEMENT
This computer has a built-in power management unit that monitors system
activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or more of the
following devices: keyboard, mouse, hard disk, peripherals connected to
the computer, and video memory. If no activity is detected for a period of
time, the computer stops some or all of these devices in order to conserve
energy.
Acer Green Instant On
Note: For selected models only.
The Acer Green Instant On feature allows your computer to wake up from
Sleep mode in less than the time it takes to open the lid. When you close
the lid, or leave your computer for a while, your computer enters Sleep
mode. While the computer is in Sleep mode, the power indicator LED will
flash orange.
Open the lid or press any key to wake the computer from Sleep mode.
After a certain amount of time in Sleep mode, the computer will
automatically enter Deep Sleep to preserve battery life. When the
computer is in Deep Sleep, the power indicator LED will be turned off. In
this state, battery remains ready to use for many weeks.
Press the power button to wake up from Deep Sleep.
44 - Power management
Note: Once in Deep Sleep, your PC will consume significantly less
power compared with Sleep mode, but it will take a little longer to wake
up from Deep Sleep.
Deep Sleep and Sleep mode work together to ensure that your computer
saves as much power as possible while still enabling quick, instant on
access.
To save more power, your computer will typically enter and stay in Deep
Sleep during times when it will not be frequently accessed, for example,
during the middle of the night. To provide quicker access, your computer
will enter and stay in Sleep mode during times when it will be frequently
accessed, for example, during working hours.
Saving power
Disable Fast startup
Your computer uses Fast startup to start quickly, but also uses a small
amount of power to check for signals to start. These checks will slowly
drain your computer’s battery.
If you prefer to reduce your computer’s power requirements and
environmental impact, turn off Fast startup:
Note: If Fast startup is off, your computer will take longer to start from
Sleep. If your computer features Acer Instant On or Acer Always
Connect, these will also be turned off.
Your computer will also not start if it receives an instruction to start
over a network (Wake on LAN).

BATTERY PACK
The computer uses an embedded battery pack that gives you long use
between charges.
Battery pack characteristics
The battery pack has the following characteristics:
• Employs current battery technology standards.
• Delivers a battery-low warning.
The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to the AC
adapter. Your computer supports charge-in-use, enabling you to recharge
the battery while you continue to operate the computer. However,
recharging with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster
charge time.
Charging the battery
The preferred method of charging your computer is to use the bundled
cradle. Plug the AC adapter into the cradle and connect to a power outlet.
Insert the tablet into the cradle (see "Connect the tablet to the cradle"
on page 25). You can continue to operate your computer on AC power
while your battery is charging. However, charging the battery with the
computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge time.
48 - Battery pack
Note: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for the day.
Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables you to start
the next day with a fully charged battery.
Conditioning a new battery pack
Before you use a battery pack for the first time, there is a conditioning
process that you should follow:
1. Connect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter.
3. Turn on the computer and operate using battery power.
4. Fully deplete the battery until the battery-low warning appears.
5. Reconnect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery again.
Follow these steps again until the battery has been charged and
discharged three times.
Use this conditioning process for all new batteries, or if a battery hasn't
been used for a long time.
Warning! Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0°
C (32° F) or above 45° C (113° F). Extreme temperatures may
adversely affect the battery pack.
By following the battery conditioning process you condition your battery to
accept the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this procedure will
prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery charge, and will also
shorten the effective lifespan of the battery.
Battery pack - 49
In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by the
following usage patterns:
• Using the computer on constant AC power.
• Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as described
above.
• Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach the
end of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a life span of
more than 1,000 charges.
Optimizing battery life
Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery operation,
prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving recharging efficiency.
You are advised to follow the suggestions set out below:
• Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for on-the-go use.
• Eject a PC Card if it is not being used, as it will continue to draw power
(for selected models).
• Store your PC in a cool, dry place. The recommended temperature is
10° C (50° F) to 30° C (86° F). Higher temperatures cause the battery to
self-discharge faster.
• Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.
• Look after your AC adapter and battery.

Checking the battery level
The Windows power meter indicates the current battery level. Rest the
cursor over the battery/power icon on the taskbar to see the battery's
present charge level.
Battery-low warning
When using battery power pay attention to the Windows power meter.
Warning! Connect the AC adapter as soon as possible after the
battery-low warning appears. Data will be lost if the battery
becomes fully depleted and the computer shuts down.
When the battery-low warning appears, the recommended course of
action depends on your situation:
