Power/Battery LED Status:

 Blue indicates the battery is • 25% to 100% charged
 Blinking blue indicates the battery is charging
 Orange indicates that the battery is between 11% to 25%
 Blinking Orange indicates that the battery is below 10%

Precautions

 Always exercise care when operating and handling the DT365.
 Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
 Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source.

Wherever possible, the DT365 should face away from direct light to reduce glare.

 If the AC-DC power adapter is used to recharge or power the tablet,

do NOT use any AC-DC adapter other than the one provided or acquired from the manufacturer or its partners.

 In the unlikely event that smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present,

immediately power off the DT365 and disconnect all power sources.
Report the problem to your device provider immediately.

 Never attempt to disassemble the DT365, as this will void the warranty.

THE DT365

Basic Features

The DT365 wireless tablet integrates a bright and multi-touch display, one USB port, and embedded networking
elements such as wireless LAN and Bluetooth. The DT365 is complemented by a suite of accessories, including
battery expansion, charging cradles, and battery charger kit, for a comprehensive user experience.

A DT365 typically integrates an 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may connect to other wireless
devices or access points. If your DT365 does not come with such a network adapter, please consult your device
provider to establish the desired network connectivity.

OPERATION

Powering ON and OFF

To activate the DT365, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds.
To put the DT365 in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the DT365 off for
extended storage, power off safely using any software function that “shuts down computer” provided in the
software operating system.

NOTE:

The battery packs shipped with your tablet may be low in power—please use the AC-DC adapter with
the DT365 when setting up for the first time to fully charge the internal battery pack. You may charge
the external battery pack with it attached to the DT365, or with the optional external battery charger
kit.

NOTE:

When the battery pack(s) is (are) charging, the blue-colored Battery LED should blink slowly. If
plugging in the AC-DC adapter does not trigger this blinking activity and the LED stays dark, the
battery pack(s) may have been drained substantially. Try unplugging/ replugging the AC-DC adapter
to the DT365 a few times to activate the charging process.

NOTE:

To conserve power, use (push and quick release) the Power Button to put the tablet in “Standby”
mode while not in use. Pushing briefly on the same button will wake up the system within seconds.

NOTE:

Avoid using the Power Button (“hold 4+ seconds” feature) to turn off the tablet—this form of hardware
shutdown is intended to be a means of recovery from lockups, and not as normal operation.

Start Up

If the power up (from Standby or otherwise) is successful, the appropriate interface will be displayed after a
launch sequence of several seconds. The wireless LAN connection may take 10-15 seconds to be established.

Configuring the Mobile Tablet

The DT365 may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system. The
DT365 should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several system
elements.

Calibration

The touch display for the DT365 is calibrated before shipping. In the event that the calibration has been modified
or is unsatisfactory, the respective calibration routines (e.g., PenMount (PM)) to calibrate the touch interface may
be used.

Wireless Networking

Wireless LAN

The DT365 is often delivered with an embedded (user-inaccessible) 802.11a/b/g/n
WLAN adapter equipped with a hidden custom antenna.

 Through the support of typical WLAN adapters, the DT365 should be able to detect all 802.11 access points in

the vicinity for you to select the access point of your choice for connection.

 The SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the DT365 and the access points have to match.

The SSID is case-sensitive and it is recommended that you enable WEP/WPA/WPA2 encryption (or advanced
alternatives) for secure access.

 When WEP/WPA/WPA2 is enabled, you may need to consult your network administrator or your networking

equipment literature to properly configure associated settings such as Authentication mode, etc.

 Refer to the access point operating manuals for setting up the 802.11 access points.

Bluetooth

The DT365 features a built-in Bluetooth adapter that operates on the Microsoft Windows Bluetooth protocol. The
Bluetooth configuration application is invoked from the System Tray or from the Control. Follow the instructions
and options provided within the application to configure and invoke Bluetooth connectivity with the corresponding
peripherals.

NOTE: Bluetooth devices or accessories that are not compatible with the Microsoft Windows Bluetooth protocol
may not work with the DT365.

Button Management

Where supported by software, the hard buttons on the left side of DT365 are programmable to perform a function
of the user’s choice. To activate the button re-assignment application, invoke the Button Manager application

Battery and Power Management

The DT365 is equipped with an internal 3760mAh Li-Ion battery pack that is capable of supporting approximately

1.5–2 hours of continuous operation. With the optional external battery pack that clips (hot-pluggable) onto the
back of the tablet, the maximum period of continuous operation will be approximately 3–4 hours. The period
between battery recharges can be significantly lengthened by putting the device into Standby mode through the
Power Button (see Buttons Function Table) whenever the tablet is not in use. Depending on the operating
software, the DT365 may also be configured to enter various power-saving modes via the Power Button or
through timed entry.

Desktop Cradle (Optional)

The DT365 is complemented by an optional Desktop Cradle for support, pass-through charging, and connection
to a range of USB peripherals, including keyboard and mouse. The Cradle offers the following interfaces: a DC-in
port for the AC-DC adapter, an Ethernet port, a VGA port (optional) and USB ports. Always seat the DT365
securely onto the cradle. The cradle must be powered by the AC-DC adapter for the Ethernet and USB ports to
function. The battery packs on the DT365 may be recharged by connecting the AC-DC adapter directly to the
DC-in port on the DT365 or through the DC-in port on the Desktop Cradle while the DT365 is docked to the
Cradle.

USING THE Mobile Tablet

Peripherals Support

Through its USB port, the DT365 supports a wide range of USB-based peripherals. These peripherals are
applicable for software installation, applications storage, data storage, and system software recovery and
updates. The DT365 is also compatible with custom mountable cradle options. These securable and mountable
cradles provide an interface to VESA mounts and arms, and to ports that may include USB, Ethernet, and
pass-through power.

Remote Management

Depending on software configuration, the DT365 can be centrally managed for asset monitoring and for software
control. Please consult your device provider.
