2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This device contains electrical voltages and extremely sensitive components. The manufacturer, or a service partner authorised by the manufacturer, should be consulted if you plan to make any modifications. For this type of work, the device must be switched off at the mains and the power lead must be disconnected. Suitable measures for avoiding electrostatic discharge towards parts of the components when touching the equipment must be taken. If the device is opened by an unauthorised person, hazards for the user might arise and any warranty claim will cease.

General instructions:

• All users must read this manual and have access to it at all times.

• Installation, commissioning and operation may only be carried out by trained and

qualified staff.

• The security instructions and the manual itself must be observed by all persons who work with this device.

• At the location of use the valid guidelines and regulations for accident prevention must be observed.

• The manual contains the most important instructions on how to use this device in a safe way.

• Appropriate storage, proper transport, installation and commissioning, as well as careful operation are prerequisites for ensuring safe and proper operation of the device.

Warning:

Any leads (e.g. power leads, interface cables) may only be connected if the device is switched off in order to avoid damaging the device.

2.1 OPERATING LOCATION

This device is designed for professional and portable use indoors and outdoors. You have to take care that the environmental conditions specified in the technical data specification are met.

Warning:

The device may only be switched on after acclimatising to the ambient temperature in order to avoid condensate accumulation. The same applies if the device has previously been exposed to extreme temperature variations.

To avoid overheating in operation: The device must not be exposed to direct radiation by sunlight or any other light or heat source.

2.2 DAMAGES DUE TO IMPROPER USE

Should the service system have evident signs of damages incurred e.g. due to wrong operation or storage conditions or due to improper unit use, the unit must be decommissioned or scrapped. Ensure that it is safe from accidental re-implementation.

2.3 WARRANTY / REPAIRS

During the unit warranty period, any repairs thereto must strictly be conducted solely by the manufacturer or by service personnel that has been duly authorised by the manufacturer.

2.4 HANDLING AND PROPER DISPOSAL OF LITHIUM BATTERIES

This device contains a lithium battery to supply the systemclock until there is no power supply connected. Depending on exposure, the battery has a lifetime of 3-5 years.

Note:

High thermal exposure will age the battery faster.

Warning:

By using the wrong types of batteries, there is acute danger of explosion.

Warning:

Lithium batteries should not be exposed to fire, soldered, recharged, opened, shortcircuited, reversed or heated above 100 °C and they should be disposed of properly as well as protected against sunlight, moisture and condensation.

Tablet PCs TT13

The lithium battery can only be replaced by the same type or a type recommended by the manufacturer.

The used lithium battery should be disposed of in accordance with local legal regulations.

2.5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning:

All unit assembly operations must be strictly conducted only under safe, secure and zeropotential conditions.

Special Note:

When handling parts and components susceptible to electrical discharge, please accurately observe all the relevant safety provisions.

5.2 14.4V DC BATTERY OPERATING MODE

The device is equipped with two batteries slots, by means of which the device can be supplied with power, alternatively. It is provided with a hot swap function which allows you to replace the batteries without rebooting.

The batteries are automatically charged in mains operation (20V DC).

Note:

If both batteries are to be replaced while operating the unit, power supply must be ensured by attaching the supplied power adapter. If you want to replace just one battery, you can do this without attaching an external power supply.

ATTERY STATUS REPLACEMENT

The TT13 batteries can be removed by using a mechanical ejector on the back of the device.

The batteries status can be retrieved by pushing a button on the batteries. The batteries display will light up for a few seconds and show the current batteries charge status on a scale from 0 to 100. If the display lights red, this represents a weak battery. If the display is green, it shows that the battery is fully charged. If the device is in operating mode, the battery status can be retrieved by using the supplied Battery Information & Diagnostics Tool.

Note:

The "Hardware specific software” chapter describes the Battery Information & Diagnostics Tool, which can be used for retrieving the accumulator status while operating the unit.

6 SOFTWARE & DRIVER INSTALLATION

The device will be delivered with a pre-installed Windows operating system on request by the customer. The drivers required for this are already installed and the operating system will be enabled by entering the licence information. Should an initial installation be required, please follow the following steps. With a newer operating system like Windows XP, the network card and graphics card will properly be recognised during the initial installation, so that only the touchscreen driver and the soft keyboard must be installed separately.

Note:

If the hard drive was formatted, the operating system can be reinstalled by using one of the existing interfaces.

6.1 BATTERY INFORMATION & DIAGNOSTICS TOOL

An external keyboard is required for installation.

OWER STATUS
