11 Correctly Using the iPAD
11.1 Using the Main Battery
To prevent deterioration, do not store the main battery for a long time when it is fully
charged. For long-term storage, remove the battery from the iPAD when it is about 50%
charged and store it at room temperature.

If the battery has not been used for a long time, recharge it.
Be careful not to short-circuit the battery terminals with a necklace or other metallic object.
Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire.
Do not leave the battery in a car exposed to sunlight or in direct sunlight.
Do not allow the battery to become wet.

F)
o At low temperatures (below 50
o
F), the iPAD does not operate as long as it does at
room temperature. In an environment of 50
o
F, operating time is about 70% of that at
room temperature, and in an environment of 32
o
F, it is about 50% (new battery used).
o If operation in a low-temperature environment is possible, review charging procedures
and operation.
o In operation at low temperatures (below 50
o
F), replacing the battery with one that is
only partially charged will result in a very short operating time. Be sure to replace the
battery with a fully charged one.

o Keep a spare battery warm until you use it by, for example, putting it in your pocket. If
you warm a battery with a body warmer, be careful that the battery does not come into
direct contact with the body warmer.

If a message indicating that charging is required (battery status message) is displayed,
promptly charge the battery or replace the battery with a spare battery.
Be careful that no dust, sand, or other foreign matter enters the terminal section while you
are using the iPAD. If any foreign matter gets in, completely remove it using a soft-tipped
cotton swab or gauze, then repeat several times inserting the iPAD into the charger or
device and then removing it.
