Using a Battery

CAUTION: 

Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or 

explosion. Replace the battery only with a compatible battery purchased from 

Dell. The battery is designed to work with your Dell computer. Do not use a battery 

from other computers with your computer. 

CAUTION: 

Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When your battery 

no longer holds a charge, call your local waste disposal or environmental agency 

for advice on disposing of a lithium-ion battery. See “Battery Disposal” in the 

Product Information Guide

.

CAUTION: 

Misuse of the battery may increase the risk of fire or chemical burn. 

Do not puncture, incinerate, disassemble, or expose the battery to temperatures 

above 65°C (149°F). Keep the battery away from children. Handle damaged or 

leaking batteries with extreme care. Damaged batteries may leak and cause 

personal injury or equipment damage.

Quick Reference Guide

Battery Performance

NOTE: 

For information about the Dell warranty for your computer, see the 

Product 

Information Guide 

or separate paper warranty document that shipped with your 

computer.

For optimal computer performance and to help preserve BIOS settings, 

operate your Dell™ Tablet-PC with the main battery installed at all times. 

One battery is supplied as standard equipment in the battery bay.

NOTE: 

Because the battery may not be fully charged, use the AC adapter to 

connect your new computer to an electrical outlet the first time you use the 

computer. For best results, operate the computer with the AC adapter until the 

battery is fully charged. To view battery charge status, check the Power Meter in 

Power Options (see “Accessing Power Options Properties” in your 

User’s Guide

.)

NOTE: 

Battery operating time varies depending on operating conditions.

NOTE: 

It is recommended that you connect your computer to an electrical outlet 

when writing to a CD or DVD.

Operating time on battery power is significantly reduced when you perform 

operations including, but not limited to, the following:

•

Using optical drives.

•

Using wireless communications devices, PC Cards, Express Cards, media 

memory cards, or USB devices.

•

Using high-brightness display settings, 3D screen savers, or other power-

intensive programs such as complex 3D graphics applications.

•

Running the computer in maximum performance mode. See “Configuring 

Power Management Settings” in your

 User’s Guide

 for information about 

accessing Windows Power Options Properties or Dell QuickSet, which you 

can use to configure power management settings.

You can check the battery charge before you insert the battery into the 

computer. You can also set power management options to alert you when the 

battery charge is low.

Quick Reference Guide

19

Checking the Battery Charge

The following features provide information on the battery charge: 

•

Dell QuickSet Battery Meter 

•

Microsoft Windows 

Power Meter

 window and 

Power

 icon 

(

in 

Windows Vista and 

in Windows XP) 

•

Battery charge gauge and health gauge

•

Low-battery warning

Dell™ QuickSet Battery Meter

If Dell QuickSet is installed, press <Fn><F3> to display the QuickSet 

Battery Meter. The Battery Meter displays status, battery health, charge level, 

and charge completion time for the battery in your computer. 

For more information about QuickSet, right-click the QuickSet icon in the 

taskbar, and click 

Help

.

Charge Gauge

By using the charge gauge on the battery, you can check:

•

Battery charge (check by pressing and 

releasing

 the status button)

•

Battery health (check by pressing and 

holding

 the status button)

The battery operating time is largely determined by the number of times it is 

charged. After hundreds of charge and discharge cycles, batteries lose some 

charge capacity—or battery health. That is, a battery can show a status of 

“charged” but maintain a reduced charge capacity (health). 

Check the Battery Charge

To check the battery charge, 

press

and release

 the status button on the battery 

charge gauge to illuminate the charge-level lights. Each light represents 

approximately 20 percent of the total battery charge. For example, if the 

battery has 80 percent of its charge remaining, four of the lights are on. If no 

lights appear, the battery has no charge.

20

Quick Reference Guide

Check the Battery Health

NOTE: 

You can check battery health in one of two ways: by using the charge gauge 

on the battery as described below or by using the Battery Meter in Dell QuickSet. 

For information about QuickSet, right-click the icon in the taskbar, and click 

Help

.

To check the battery health using the charge gauge, 

press and hold

 the status 

button on the battery charge gauge for at least 3 seconds. If no lights appear, 

the battery is in good condition, and more than 80 percent of its original 

charge capacity remains. Each light represents an incremental degradation. If 

five lights appear, less than 60 percent of the charge capacity remains, and you 

should consider replacing the battery. See "Using a Battery" on page 17 for 

more information about the battery operating time.

Low-Battery Warning

NOTICE: 

To avoid losing or corrupting data, save your work immediately after a 

low-battery warning, then connect the computer to an electrical outlet. If the 

battery runs completely out of power, hibernate mode begins automatically.

A pop-up window warns you when the battery charge is approximately 

90 percent depleted. If two batteries are installed, the low-battery warning 

means that the combined charge of both batteries is approximately 

90 percent depleted. The computer enters hibernate mode when the battery 

charge is at a critically low level.

You can change the settings for the battery alarms in QuickSet or the 

Power 

Options Properties

 window. See “Configuring Power Management Settings” 

in your 

User’s Guide

 for information about accessing QuickSet or the 

Power 

Options Properties

 window.

To manually enter hibernate mode in Windows Vista, click the Windows 

Vista Start button 

, and move your mouse over the right triangle beside 

the Lock icon to open the 

Power Options Properties

 window, and then click 

Hibernate

.

To manually enter hibernate mode in Windows XP, you must first enable 

Hibernate mode.

To enable Hibernate mode:

1

Click

→ 

Control Panel

→ 

Performance and Maintenance

→ 

Power

.

2

Click the
