Charging Your Batteries

If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery

pack before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter

charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an

AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery

pack when the Eee Slate is in use.

Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more) before rst use

and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life. The battery reaches its

maximmum capacity after a few full charging and discharging cycles.

Airplane Precautions

Ask an airline personnel if you want to use your Eee Slate onboard an

aircraft. Most airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most

airlines allow electronic use only between and not during takeos and

landings.

There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray

machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic

detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and

magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or individual

items). You can send your Eee Slate through airport X-ray machines.

But do not send your Eee Slate through airport magnetic detectors

or expose it to magnetic wands.
