The batteries will charge whether the system is on, off, or in a power savings mode: however,
they will charge faster with the system off. It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the primary
battery with the system off. The WinBook FX should run for at least 2 hours on a fully charged
primary battery. Refer to "Monitoring Battery Charge" and the Battery Warnings table in
Chapter 3 for indicators of low battery charge.
