WebDT 375 Operation Guide

REQUIREMENTS

The WebDT 375 features a CompactFlash (CF) slot and a PCMCIA slot. It is anticipated that the PCMCIA interface

will be mostly used to provide the 802.11b wireless LAN connectivity. The WebDT 375 may also support dialup

modem, tethered Ethernet connectivity and wireless WAN access.

The WebDT 375 supports offline applications and deployment. However, you may choose to have (as

basestations) 802.11b wireless Access Points or Gateways with network (Internet, Intranet, etc.) access to

experience the full capability of the WebDT 375. If your WebDT 375 does not come with a wireless LAN (802.11b)

adapter (see OPERATION NOTES), the WebDT 375 should be used together with an approved wireless network

adapter for network access. Please check with your device provider for the appropriate solution.

NOTE: In fact if you elect to use a WLAN adapter where the vendor offers a driver to operate under Windows CE

.NET on an ARM/XScale processor-based platform, you should be able to install the driver onto the WebDT 375 by

referring to the “Software Installation, Development, Synchronization” section in this document. Software drivers

installed in this manner may need to be re-installed should you clear the system’s volatile memory during a Cold

Reboot process.

Notes for setting up the 802.11b-based wireless communication

• Under the zero configuration design of the wireless 802.11b LAN support under CE .NET, the WebDT 375 will

detect all 802.11b basestations in the vicinity for you to select the basestation of your choice for connection.

• The ESSID and WEP Key (if enabled) on the WebDT 375 and the basestations have to match. Zero
configuration will guide the ESSID setup. WEP is “Disabled” as default on the WebDT 375 – it is recommended

that you enable WEP encryption for secure access.

• Click on the wireless LAN icon (see figures below) on the Windows CE Taskbar, to configure the wireless

adapter in the WebDT 375.

• Refer to the basestation operating manuals for setting up the 802.11b basestations.

• NOTE: The WLAN network connectivity icon changes appearance as in the following:

Connection Established Connection Lost
(Blinking icon indicates activity)

•

NOTE: You will not see any of the icons above in the Taskbar if the network adapter is not detected or

supported by the WebDT 375.

OPERATION

Power ON and OFF

NOTE:

• The battery shipped with your device should be low in power – please be prepared to use the AC-DC adapter

with the WebDT 375 in setting up the device for the first time and to fully charge the internal battery pack.

• Depending on the origin of your device, the WebDT 375 is generally delivered in a “Power Off” state. To start

(Cold Boot or “Power On”) the WebDT 375 for the first time, push briefly on the Suspend or Power/Reset button

(#9 per Button Function Table) located at the upper left edge of the device with the AC-DC adapter
connected to the device. You may refer to the sections on Operation Notes and Appendix on FAQ and

Troubleshooting for more details and scenarios.

• Please use (push and quick release) the Suspend button to “sleep” the device while not in use. Pushing briefly

on the Suspend button will wake up the system within 1-2 seconds.

In general, to activate the WebDT 375, push and quickly release the Suspend button to the left of the front

bezel. The display will come on in about 1-2 seconds. To move the WebDT 375 into Suspend mode and

conserve power, push and quickly release the Suspend button. In the Suspend mode, the device continues to

consume (a minimum amount of) power.

• If you are putting the device away for an extended period of time (e.g., travel or absence), you may elect to

power off the device off completely to conserve battery life. This way, you will have power in your battery when

you arrive at your destination or return from your absence. However you will need to properly save your work

content (e.g., to external CompactFlash card in CF slot) and device settings (e.g., by Registries Save/Restore

utility in Control Panel) prior to the procedure. To power off the device, push and hold onto the Suspend button

for over 4 seconds – the display will turn off and all LEDs will be dark.

• DO NOT use the Power Off function as part of normal device operation – you may lose all software settings

and information you may have established through your pattern of usage. It is designed for use to reset the

device in the unlikely event that the device enters a hung state or to meet the power conserving objective cited

in the previous paragraph. Pushing briefly on the Suspend button will initiate the Power On process if the

battery is in good condition; otherwise make sure the AC-DC adapter is connected.

Start Up

1. If the power up (from Suspend or otherwise) is successful the Windows CE Desktop will be displayed after a

launch sequence of several seconds OR within 2-4 seconds if recovering from Suspend.

2. The wireless LAN adapter may take 10-15 seconds to be (re-)established.

3. Choose from any of the displayed icons on the Desktop to activate the corresponding application.

Calibration

The Calibration Properties screen will appear before the Windows CE desktop, if this is a new or reset device.

When the WebDT 375 prompts you to calibrate the touch-screen, use the Stylus (stored in the upper right surface

of the WebDT 375) and tap where indicated on the touch-screen in accordance with the displayed instructions.

(This document refers to “clicking” or “tapping” interchangeably. The latter is applicable when the touch-screen is

utilized).

WebDT 375 Operation Guide

OPERATION NOTES

- Wireless Network Card and Antenna System

The WebDT 375 has a PC Card slot along the upper left edge of the device. This slot is likely to house the wireless

LAN adapter. In certain configurations, the slot is left open for the user to insert a supported network adapter. In

many instances, the WebDT 375 is delivered with an embedded PC card with a custom antenna in a snap-type

housing. In the latter case, the user has the choice of leaving the antenna in the snap-on position (A) or of pulling

the antenna tip off the retainer snap and try to obtain better wireless connectivity through varying orientations up to

near-vertical (B).

(A)

- Battery and Power Management

The WebDT 375 is equipped with an internal Li-Ion battery pack that is capable of supporting approximately 2.5

hours of continuous operation. The period of continuous operation can be extended to approximately 6 hours with

the aid of an optional external battery pack that clips onto the back of the device. The period between battery

recharge can be significantly lengthened by putting the device into Suspend mode through the Suspend button (see

Button Function Table) whenever the device is not in use. The WebDT 375 may also be configured to

automatically enter into power-saving

Control Panel > Power Properties.

NOTE: The WebDT 375 battery pack may be recharged with the accompanying AC-DC adapter connected directly

to the DC-in jack on the device or connected to the device Cradle.

- Power (Reset)/Suspend Button

The Power (Reset) and Suspend (Resume) button resides, slightly-recessed, along the upper left edge of the

WebDT 375.

Suspend/Resume

A brief push/release of the Suspend button toggles between Suspend and Resume – with adequate intervening

time. The system cannot enter into Suspend mode again within 15 seconds after Resuming.

COLD Boot/Power On-Off/Reset

You may use the Suspend Button to Cold Boot or Restart the WebDT 375 in the unlikely event of device lock-

up. To execute, push on the button with a fine blunt object for over 4 seconds to “Power Off” the device. The

device will be turned off. This Reset/Power Off will clear your software settings and data if they are not properly

modes after user-definable periods of device

(B)

idle – see Start > Settings >

WebDT 375 Operation Guide

saved to flash memory (See Appendix on FAQ for reference). Push again on Suspend Button for a brief

moment to restart/reboot the device.

 Low Battery Condition

A warning message will be generated during a Low Battery situation and the WebDT 375 will shortly thereafter

be placed into (Forced) Suspend mode if operation continues without external supply of power.

After the WebDT 375 enters the (Forced) Suspend mode due to the Low Battery condition:

• The Suspend/Resume button will not be able to reactivate the machine unless an AC-DC adapter or a good

external battery is connected when the Suspend button is briefly engaged. If recovery is performed within 2-4

hours, the machine will return to its previous state.

• If over 2-4 hours elapse without one using the AC-DC adapter or the external battery pack to resume system

operation or recharge the battery, the battery power will drain entirely. If the WebDT 375 is re-activated then,

the machine is reset and the process amounts to a cold boot. Reactivation of the system is also by means of

briefly engaging the Suspend button in the presence of a connected AC-DC adapter or good external battery.

SUMMARY
Use the SUSPEND button at (left) side to:

(1) Enter and Exit Suspend mode (triggered upon button release within 0-4 seconds);

(2) Engage Full Power Off (preceding Cold boot) by pressing/holding for over 4 seconds;

(3) Exit Forced Suspend mode;

• Note: The device automatically enters Forced Suspend mode (from Active or Suspend) when the

internal battery pack reaches a low level. This is to support a graceful shutdown and also extend the

time where information is retained in volatile memory.

• Connect AC-DC adapter or external battery pack of good capacity to the WebDT 375 and briefly

engage Suspend button (recover original state entering Suspend/Forced Suspend).

(4) Cold boot (from Power off or Total battery drain).

connect AC-DC adapter or external battery pack of good capacity to the WebDT 375 and briefly

engage Suspend button (splash screen will appear after a few seconds - Cold (Re-)Boot has taken

place).

NOTE: States (3) and (4)

are manifested by "dark display and dark LEDs with no system response when the

Suspend button is pushed without an AC-DC adapter connected to the WebDT 375".

The next step is to connect up the AC-DC and engage Suspend button again.
The type of response – splash (bootup) screen

or recovery into previous state - indicates whether the

device is undergoing Cold (Re-)Boot or is simply exiting Forced Suspend mode.

WebDT 375 Operation Guide

- Software Installation, Development, Synchronization

The WebDT 375 is amenable to software installation, development and synchronization through connection to a

host PC where the primary software resides. This is enabled by a USB cable-based connection between the host

PC and the USB Slave port on the cradle of the WebDT 375. Consider the following:

i) Install ActiveSync 3.5 or higher on host PC.

E.g., http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync35.asp

ii) Install USB driver for WebDT 375 on host PC (obtain as required from your device provider or use:

http://www.dtresearch.com/DT375_usb_update.exe

).

WebDT 375 Operation Guide

- Device Registry

The device registry characterizes the device, defining supported device components and peripherals, applications

and content. Many registry elements are being changed or updated during a typical session of operation.

At the “battery low” event, prior to automatic entry into (Forced) Suspend mode, registry contents will be saved from

volatile memory to flash ROM automatically, ensuring persistence of the registry settings, even after total power

loss. A typical save process will take over 5 seconds. The Registries Save/Restore utility in Windows CE Control

Panel can be used to manually save registry contents to ROM as well.

NOTE: In the event that the file structure of the WebDT 375 becomes corrupted, it may become necessary to clear

the user-accessible file system (and all registry elements) of the device to return the WebDT 375 to a fresh and

useable state. To clear the file system, follow the instructions as listed under the “Software Update – Through
Cradle USB Port – Client (WebDT 375) side” section presented earlier under the section on Software Update.

When presented with the text-based Menu, choose “…Clear Registry …” or “…Clear File Structure …”. In the

former, settings such as wireless network configuration and browser configurations shall be cleared. In the latter,

an additional cleansing of the user-accessible flash-based file system also takes place.

WebDT 375 Operation Guide

APPENDIX 1

Operation in Windows-Based Terminal (WBT) mode

The CE .NET operating system for the WebDT 375 may be presented in one of two categories. The so-called

Information Appliance (IA) configuration is where the basic display is the Windows CE desktop (see next figure)

displaying the primary elements such as My Computer, Internet Explorer, etc., together with application shortcuts.

The IA configuration is the basis from which much of the description in the Operation Guide is established.

IA Mode - Desktop

The other category is the Windows-Based Terminal mode where

the primary function is to support terminal access to terminal

servers and remote host computers leveraging thin client / server

computing protocols.

The primary display for the WBT mode is the Connection

Manager from which individual network sessions are configured

and launched. Other than network sessions, the WBT shell also

facilitates the configuration of local, device properties through the

Terminal Properties feature.

The figures at the end of this section show, respectively, the Connection Manager window under Connections tab

and under Configure tab, the Terminal Properties page with associated windows for two folder tabs of interest.

The more versatile IA mode also offers connection services to servers and host computers but in a less structured

form than the WBT mode.

Other than the look and feel of the software presentation and the focus of the WBT on server-based computing, the

differences between the WBT and IA modes are highlighted as follows:

- programmable hard buttons have session association as option from the Button Settings menu;

- IA configuration allows for local applications, including voice recorder, inking, document and picture

viewing; handwriting recognition, etc. while WBT mode may involve only an embedded browser as a local

application.

Cisco Aironet WLAN Adapter

In general, when the WLAN network adapter is detected, the 802.1x, zero-configuration support offered by

Windows CE .NET invokes a set of windows to define and invoke the wireless link. While convenient and

functional, this method does not always offer comprehensive monitoring and configuration of the WLAN

environment for maximum utility.

Under most software configurations, the WebDT 375 is equipped with full support for the Cisco Aironet WLAN

adapter, beyond the features offered by the 802.1x, zero-configuration support native to Windows CE .NET.

When the above applies, and if a Cisco Aironet WLAN PC Card adapter is used with the WebDT 375, then the

adapter would have to be configured using the utilities available through the Aironet-specific set of drivers installed

into the WebDT 375. The result is a more detailed adaptation to the network, including the ability to have the

WebDT 375 operate within EAP/LEAP-secured networks.

When the Aironet adapter is detected, the network icon (identical to that for tethered networking) in the System

Tray is displayed. If the network is not accessible, an “X” appears across the icon, as shown below.

The network adapter is configured for network access through the Aironet Client Utility accessible via Start >

Programs > Cisco > ACU. The ACU offers a rich set of configurable parameters and monitoring tools.

The WLAN adapter in general may be disabled. This is done by accessing Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Network and Dialup Connections icon to display the adapter in question. Right click over the adapter icon and

select Disable. The network icon will disappear from the System Tray. To re-enable the adapter, right click over

the icon and select Enable. There may be a wait of up to a minute for the network adapter to be re-enabled and the

icon to re-appear in the System Tray.

The following figures highlights the access to: the utilities, the parameters that are configurable, and the features

that may be monitored.

Optional External Battery Pack for WebDT 375

The external battery pack (Figure 1) for the WebDT 375 is intended to add at least 130% to the battery capacity of

the internal battery pack. It is hot-swappable in operation and also amenable to one-handed attachment and

removal. It is designed to be attached to the upper rear of the WebDT 375 in the area around corresponding

electrical contact pins.

Figure 1 Figure 2

To attach the battery pack, align (and insert) the two lower tabs on the external battery pack with the two grooves in

the designated area (Figure 2). After insertion into the grooves, squeeze the two tabs at the sides of the battery

pack while pushing it flat against the rear surface of the WebDT 375. Release the two tabs and verify that the

battery pack is secure and flush against the WebDT 375.

To detach the battery pack, squeeze on the two side-tabs of the battery pack simultaneously and pull the battery

pack up (to clear the rear grooves) and away from the rear surface of the WebDT 375.

Since the external battery pack is designed to be hot-swappable with the WebDT 375, you may attach or detach

the external battery pack while the WebDT 375 is operational.

When the external battery pack is in place,

- the WebDT 375 will draw power from the external battery pack first;

- if the AC-DC adapter is applied to the system, both the internal and external battery packs will be charged

simultaneously.

APPENDIX 6

Using the Mountable Cradle for WebDT 375

The optional wall- and vehicle-mountable cradle for the WebDT 375 is designed to complement the bundled
desktop cradle in offering support and connectivity for the device in a broader range of deployments.

The cradle is characterized by:

- VESA-compatible mounting holes for attachment to VESA-compliant arms or mounts

(75mm and 100mm pitch; screws provided; VESA arms not included);

- Openings for wall-mounting (screws not provided);

- A set of extension brackets (screws provided) for routing and storage of connection

cables;

- Flip-down retainer for electrical interface activation and access mechanical security

and lockdown features;

- Connector interface for 12V Power input, USB Host/Client and Ethernet (RJ45)

connectivity;

- Power LED indicating engagement of micro-switch and activation of cradle-to-device

interface.

Application:

- Choose and implement the mounting method.

- Supply power to the cradle. This may be accomplished by connecting the 12V power

input on the cradle (i) TO the AC-DC adapter provided with the device/cradle; OR (ii)
TO a DC-DC adapter connected to a DC power source. In addition, the cradle’s
electrical interface can be powered by the seated WebDT 375 with adequate internal or
external battery capacity and in the absence of (i) and (ii).

NOTE: An optional 12-24V to 12V DC-DC adapter that fits into an automobile

cigarette-lighter plug or power outlet is available from the device manufacturer.

- Make sure the protective jacket for the WebDT 375 is in place over the device. In this manner, the device

will fit snugly within the side arms of the cradle.

- With the device seated in the cradle, flip the retainer cap down from the top.

- The Power LED light should come on indicating that the cradle-to-device electrical interface has been

activated.

- From now on, all the interface ports (unless disabled by device provider) should be enabled for usage.

- To remove the device for mobile usage, flip up the retainer cap (remove any locking device first) and

disengage the tablet from the connector firmly but carefully.

Application Notes:

Prevailing implementation of the mountable cradle is such that:

- For any of the interface ports to function, the flip-down retainer has to be engaged

supplied to the interface electronics as reflected in the glowing Power LED. If this condition is not met, the
cradle will function only as storage and support for the tablet device.

- Power will NOT be drawn from the WebDT 375 if there is power being supplied to the cradle’s DC-in port.

- Use the USB Type A or Host port on the cradle for keyboard/mouse input devices. The functionality with

other USB peripherals may be subject to validation on a case-by-case basis. Please also consider the
USB port on the WebDT 375 device as an available and effective option.

The WebDT 375 is now powered off. You will need to press the Suspend button again briefly to power the unit
back on. If you continue to have problems turning the device off, contact your device provider for support.

NOTE: The Reset/Power Off and subsequent restart of the device by briefly engaging the Suspend button is often

referred to as Cold Boot of the device. During this process, you may lose device settings or user data that have not
been properly saved in the WebDT 375. To ensure that settings such as profiles, dates, etc. are properly saved,
you should engage the Save Registries function via Start > Settings > Control Panel > Registries Save/Restore icon
as soon after you made any modifications as possible. To properly save user data, you should save the
information or files to external flash memory, e.g., My Computer > Storage Card and its sub-folders.

NOTE: All settings are also automatically saved if the device battery level drains down – past system warnings – to

lead to device shutdown.

How do I power back on when the unit enters Suspend mode and turns the screen off?

To wake the WebDT 375 from Suspend mode, press briefly on the Suspend button on the left side of the WebDT

375. The screen will turn back on within a couple of seconds, and you can resume using the unit.

I changed my mind immediately after recovering from Suspend mode and wish to put the device into
Suspend again. Why is it that the Suspend button appears non-responsive?

Each time you recover from Suspend mode, it takes 10-15 seconds for the system to totally recover, although you
can see the display and use the system within 1-2 seconds. During this recovery period of 10-15 seconds, the
system shall not be able to process any request to re-enter Suspend mode. As soon as the system has fully
recovered, a single Suspend request shall be processed if a single or multiple Suspend requests were made during
the recovery period.

42 375V0304.0139

WebDT 375 Operation Guide

programs that were in operation and any data you may have saved to the device when you lost power. To avoid
this, make sure that you heed the low battery warnings and you supply AC power to the WebDT 375 before it loses
battery power completely.
You will receive warnings from the system when the device battery level is at critically low level. Within minutes
thereafter, the system will enter Forced Suspend mode. In this mode, the device can only be recovered with AC­DC connected and Suspend button engaged. If the device is not revived within the next 2-4 hours, (depending on
device loading) the system will enter the Power Off mode due to battery depletion. To revive the system, you will
need to connect up the AC-DC and engage the Suspend button at the side of the device. During this process, you
may lose device settings or user data that have not been properly saved in the WebDT 375. To ensure that
settings such as profiles, dates, etc. are properly saved, you should engage the Save Registries function via Start >
Settings > Control Panel > Registries Save/Restore icon as soon after you made any modifications as possible. To
properly save user data, you should save the information or files to external flash memory such as My Computer >
Storage Card and its sub-folders.

What are some ways to extend battery life?

When you are not using the panel, give the Suspend button a quick press to put the unit into Suspend mode. With
the panel in Suspend mode, the battery life will be greatly extended. Also, when possible, do not use the highest
screen brightness setting. More battery power is used as the screen brightness increases. It is important to put the
unit into Suspend mode whenever you aren’t going to use it for more than a few seconds. It is possible to manage
the timed entry by the device into power saving modes. Go to Control Panel > Power > Schemes tab and choose
timings based on Battery Power or AC Power schemes.

Is there an advised practice for charging of the device battery packs?

The battery packs are constructed with Lithium-ion cells. There is no memory effect and you can charge these
batteries at your convenience without waiting for them to drain completely and without affecting the capacity of the
cells. However, it is still advisable to charge only when needed to conserve the number of charge/discharge cycles
for the battery packs since such cycles will affect the useful life of the batteries.

Can I charge or power the WebDT 375 from a vehicle power outlet?

Yes. There is an optional kit comprising a power cord and a DC-DC adapter to feed and charge the device from
vehicle power outlets.

NOTE: Refer to the power adapter label specifications if the vehicle power outlet is not 12V.

I have acquired an optional external battery pack, what should I know and how should I make optimal use
of it?

The external battery pack has a capacity exceeds that of the internal battery pack. It adds about 3.5 hours of
usage time to the 2.5 hours of the internal battery. The custom housing readily snaps on and off the rear of the

WebDT 375. It is also designed to be hot-swappable with the system which means that one does not need to

power off the tablet prior to detaching or attaching the battery pack.

How can I charge the external battery pack?

The external battery pack can be charged as part of the WebDT 375 with the AC-DC adapter connected directly or
through the cradle. Alternatively, the external battery pack may be charged with an optional external battery
charging adapter and an AC-DC adapter.

NOTE: When both are connected to the WebDT 375, the external and internal battery packs are charged

simultaneously.

What is the best way to store a device for travel or transport to conserve battery life?

If you can properly save device configuration settings (Control Panel > Registries Save/Restore) and user data (My
Computer > Storage Card (and sub-folders)) for persistence (as needed) over power cycling, you could perform a
full power shutdown on the device. For this purpose, engage and hold the Suspend button for over 4 seconds until
the display and LEDs go dark. There should no further power drain from the battery. A brief push of the Suspend
button should revive the system with an un-depleted battery pack for immediate mobile use.

APPLICATIONS

The WebDT 375 display goes dark while I am playing media content or downloading my email messages.
The power to the WebDT 375 is adequate. What happened?

The device may have entered Suspend mode, depending on how the power savings scheme has been set up.

Refer to Control Panel > Power > Schemes tab. In the WebDT 375, the “idle” definition refers to no user input

(screen taps, mouse clicks, etc.) – having only network activity may also be construed as being “idle”. Therefore it
is possible for the device to enter power savings modes while you are playing or downloading content. To avoid
complications or confusion, you could consider setting very long delays (or “Never”) from the scheduling menus in

the Control Panel > Power > Schemes window.

How do I get onto the Internet?

You need the following:

- (Wireless) connection to network

- Network connection to Internet Service Provider (ISP)

- WebDT 375 configuration

In general the WebDT 375 has to be configured to communicate to a wireless Access Point on the local network
which in turn has to have a (broadband or dialup) modem connected to the Internet as supported by the ISP. The
key in the set up is to obtain a valid IP (Internet Protocol) address for the WebDT 375. Read the section on setting
up the wireless connection for the WebDT 375 in your user guide for reference. After you have set up a
connection, simply double-tap the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop, and you will be free to surf the Internet.

What else can I do other than access the Internet with it?

You can connect to WebDT 375 to any system supporting Microsoft RDP or Citrix MetaFrame or WinFrame using
Citrix ICA. WebDT 375 has other uses and applications, as well. One may invoke Terminal Emulation from
Windows CE Desktop to connect to remote host computers as IBM, DEC, and a variety of other terminals. It can
be used as a display with other Windows systems and can access many applications through its standard Web
Browser. It also has a small collection of Windows CE .NET applications loaded for local (offline) use when not
connected to any network. An embedded Java Virtual Machine (JVM) also facilitates the execution and access of
Java applications and applets both locally and over the network.

How do I check my e-mail?

Read the section entitled Reading and Sending Email in the WebDT 375 Operation Guide for a description of
reading and sending email with the device.

How can I share or access information in a PC?

There are two general approaches with different requirements and user experience.

(a) From My Computer on the Windows CE desktop, you are able to view shared content on Windows PCs

(Windows 95 and above) connected to the same subnet of a data network. This is facilitated by the viewing utilities
or applications resident on your WebDT device. Please make sure that the appropriate folders have Sharing
enabled on the PCs.

44 375V0304.0139

WebDT 375 Operation Guide

On the WebDT device and in the address field of My Computer, enter the name of the target PC:

\\<target_PC_name

>. You may be prompted for username and password if the sharing is password-protected.

After any authentication is processed successfully, the shared folders should be displayed.

NOTE: It is not possible at this time for users on the PCs to view or access content on your WebDT device.

(b) The WebDT device is loaded with the Remote Desktop Control (RDC) utility. This is typically displayed on the

Desktop and under Start>Programs. The RDC allows you to access a Windows XP Professional system on the
same subnet in a powerful way with full access to applications and data on the PC system. When you do so, the
PC system will be locked out to ensure that you will be the sole user. On the Windows XP Pro system side, make
sure that you have the various user(s) privileges and configurations properly set up. On the WebDT side, activate
the Remote Desktop Connection application and enter the appropriate remote computer information such as Name
or IP address. If the system is available, you may be prompted with confirmation and login queries to the host
system. After the authentication or login is successful, the Desktop meeting your login profile of the XP Pro system
will be displayed and any other user’s access to the system would have been terminated. To terminate the link, just
Logout of the remote system as you would do so locally to the device.

How can I update the software on my device?

1. Use Update utility under Start > Settings > Control Panel > Update

2. Use USB connection between PC and device Cradle with device firmly seated.

NOTE: Using the Update utility offers 2 options – via FTP server or via local storage. In the fairly likely scenario
where there is no access to an FTP server and there is no means of placing said software onto a local
storage (CompactFlash card) device, it is still possible to accomplish the software update execution. Place the

software in a folder on a PC (Windows 95 and above). Enabling sharing for the folder. Make sure the WebDT
device and the PC are on the same subnet. In the Update utility window, choose the Local tab. Select the
Browse… button to bring up the My Computer window. Type in the name of the PC in the address field (e.g.,

\\PC_name

). Authentication may be required, subsequent to which, the shared folder content will be displayed and

you can choose the software file as the file to be used by the Update utility.

PERIPHERALS AND ACCESSORIES

Can I use an external storage device with WebDT 375?

Yes. The CompactFlash slot on the top of the WebDT 375 supports most standard CompactFlash memory
devices. There are many off-the-shelf memory cards that can be bought at a local computer or camera store.

maintain strong connection integrity between device and cradle to support the charging and USB pass-through.

FEATURES

What do all the buttons do?

The four buttons at the bottom of the panel have useful functions. When text input into the WebDT 375 is needed,
press the left-most button, and a virtual keyboard will appear on the screen. Tap the desired letters to enter text.
Press the button again to make the keyboard disappear. The second button (immediately to the right of the virtual
keyboard button) is factory programmed to initiate an ActiveSync connection with a laptop or PC. The 3
buttons may come with default functions but are user-programmable. This is facilitated by the Buttons utility in the
WebDT 375, accessible through Start > Settings > Control Panel > Buttons icon. Some examples of their use

include initiating a Remote Desktop Session with a PC or server AND as a Show Desktop button which will

minimize all open windows, and display the desktop. The button on the right face of the WebDT 375 is a 4-way
navigator, and can be user-programmed (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Buttons) to scroll up, down, left, or right
through menu selections, Web Pages, or other items supported by the software operating system.

What do all the lights mean?

There are three LEDs on the WebDT 375. The symbols above the LEDs reflect the corresponding features of the
WebDT 375 panel.

The record LED (the left-most LED) is accessible by applications at the factory level. It will be ON and showing
steady green when the WebDT 375 is recording from its internal microphone.

The network LED (middle LED) glows a steady color when the network adapter is detected and functional. At this
time, it is not an indicator of when the WebDT 375 is sending or receiving network information.

The battery LED (right-most LED) has a few different states.
When the battery LED is solid green, it means that the batteries are fully charged. When the battery LED is blinking
amber, this indicates that the battery is charging. This will only happen when the WebDT 375 is plugged into A/C
power.

the right-click mode. Refer to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Buttons Settings.

What other hardware/software can I use with WebDT 375?

Any hardware peripherals or software applications that may be used with the WebDT 375 depends on the
compatibility of such hardware or software with the WebDT 375 system platform, i.e., Windows CE .NET (not
Pocket PC) and Intel Xscale platform. If a third party peripheral or software is determined to be compatible with (or
independent of) said platform that the hardware/software may work out-of-the box or have drivers that are suitable
for use on the WebDT 375. You can install drivers and applications through ActiveSync or (in some cases) copy
applications over to the file structure of the WebDT 375.
In general, the WebDT 375 comes pre-installed with software and hardware drivers that will enable you to use
different network cards to access the Internet, email, and Local Area Networks (LANs). If you have made a specific
request for your device provider to install a particular type of driver or a particular piece of software, it will already
be installed on your WebDT 375 when it ships to you. This feature ensures that if there are any problems with the
WebDT 375 at any time, you will not have to reload the software on the machine, but simply reset the unit. You will
need to contact your device provider if it is possible to have additional software or hardware drivers pre-loaded on
the WebDT 375.

The Virtual Keyboard won’t show up or go away.

Sometimes when the WebDT 375 is busy processing commands or running other programs it may not
display/remove the virtual keyboard the moment that you press the keyboard button. Simply hold the button down,
or press the keyboard button again, and in a few seconds the keyboard should appear/disappear.

Where is the stylus and how do I use it to navigate? How do I do anything without a keyboard and mouse?

The stylus for the WebDT 375’s touch screen is located in the upper right corner of the panel inside the rubber pad
on the side. Pull out the stylus and use it to tap the screen. The WebDT 375 uses a touch screen and stylus for
normal input. You can select anything on the screen by just tapping the icon, or touching a point on the screen with
the stylus. For example, to open My Computer, simply double-tap on the My Computer icon, just as you would
double click with a regular mouse. Instead of a desktop keyboard, the WebDT 375 provides a Virtual Keyboard.
To type, press the leftmost hard button from the set of 4 in the lower front of the panel, labeled with a keyboard
icon. A keyboard will appear on the screen, and you can select the letters by tapping them. Press the keyboard
button again, to make the keyboard disappear off the screen. If you’d like, you can attach a USB pointing device
(mouse, track ball, touch pad) to the WebDT 375 and use that for navigation.

Is there a way to scroll down without using the stylus?

Yes. In general, the software on the WebDT 375 allows you to program most of the buttons on the WebDT 375 to
perform functions of your choice. Use Start > Settings > Control Panel > Button Settings icon. For example, you
can use the 4-way navigation button on the front right side of the WebDT 375 panel to scroll the window of Internet
Explorer, or other applications, and also to scroll between menu choices or icons. You can also use this button to
navigate backward and forward in Internet Explorer.

WebDT 375 Operation Guide

How do you adjust the volume?

From the Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel), double-tap on Volume & Sounds. Tap on the Loud and
Soft buttons to adjust the volume. Tap OK to save your changes. You may also be able to program some of the
hard buttons on the device to perform this function (see Start > Settings > Control Panel > Button Settings).

How do I make the panel brighter/darker?

From the Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel), tap on the Brightness icon. Choose the Brightness tab
and tap on the Bright and Dark buttons to increase or decrease the brightness of the display. You may also be able
to program some of the hard buttons on the device to perform this function (see Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Button Settings).

How could I calibrate at any time without having to access the Control Panel?

You may recalibrate the cursor on the touch display when the device is powered on by either accessing Start >
Settings > Control Panel > Stylus or by engaging the virtual keyboard button (leftmost of front set of four buttons)
and the Left button on the 4-way navigation button on the right front face of the device, simultaneously. This is very
useful when the current calibration is way off so as to affect ability to use the touch display to access the software
utility, and a USB pointing device is not available.

Can I program the device hard buttons?

Many of the buttons on the WebDT 375 are user programmable. Exceptions are the Suspend button, the Virtual
Keyboard button, the recessed Reset Button. Depending on software configuration, the button next to the Virtual
Keyboard button may also be reserved for ActiveSync activation.
To program the other buttons, access Start > Settings > Control Panel > Button Settings. In the window that is
displayed, you should be able to see a panel indicating the current function for each button. There is another panel
on the same window that lists the functions which are available for association. To associate a different function
with a particular button: select the button from the first panel; select (double tap on) the new function from the other
panel. If that button is programmable, the new function should be associated. Advanced users have the option to
program these buttons with scripts in addition to the pre-determined functions.

How can I save critical documents or data to avoid being lost due to power loss?

To properly save user data so as to be persistent over power loss, you should save the information or files to My
Computer > Storage Card and its sub-folders.

NOTE: All settings are automatically saved if the device battery level drains down - past system warnings - to lead

to device shutdown.

How can I ensure that changes I made to the configuration of the WebDT 375 are persistent over pow er
loss?

The Hard Reset and subsequent restart of the device by briefly engaging the reset button is often referred to as
Cold Reboot of the device. During this process, you may lose device settings or user data that have not been
properly saved in the WebDT 375. To ensure that settings such as profiles, dates, etc. are properly saved, you
should engage the Save Registries function via Start > Settings > Control Panel > Registries Save/Restore icon as
soon after you made any modifications as possible.

NOTE: All settings are automatically saved if the device battery level drains down - past system warnings - to lead

to device shutdown.

What are my options on the wireless LAN network adapter?

Your device can come without a network adapter or with wireless LAN adapters pre-installed. In the former case,
you are free to use any WLAN network adapter you choose provided the corresponding and compatible driver is
pre-installed or you install the appropriate driver. The 802.11b WLAN drivers that are pre-installed with the device

48 375V0304.0139

WebDT 375 Operation Guide

may include those for adapters from ZCOM, Samsung, Agere, and Cisco Aironet, depending on software
configuration.

The device I have comes with an embedded wireless LAN card – where is the antenna located and how do I
use it to obtain the most effective network access?

The custom antenna is enclosed in the plastic tongue snapped onto the device housing covering the PC card slot

along the top edge of the WebDT 375. Refer to the section on “Operation Notes in the Operation Guide. The

antenna should function adequately in the snapped-on configuration but you may use to extract the antenna holder
to try to obtain better range or signal strength.

Can the WebDT 375 support 802.11g and/or 802.11a wireless LAN adapters?

No. At this time, the combination of hardware and software characterizing the WebDT 375 is not capable of
supporting 802.11a or 802.11g network adapters. Your device provider may be able to advise you of alternative or
pending solutions that may offer such support.

Can the WebDT 375 work with wireless WAN network adapters?

Yes. The WebDT 375 may support wireless WAN (wide area network) adapters which connect to subscription­based data networks (e.g., Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T Wireless). The drivers for these supported PC
Card slot-based cards are typically not be bundled with the WebDT 375, depending on software configuration. You
should contact your device provider if you need the support for these adapters.

CARE AND SUPPORT

How do I wipe fingerprints off the screen without damaging it?

In general, you may use cloth dampened with a small amount of cleaning solution. Ensure that the device is
powered off beforehand.

Is there any other way I can carry the device about, without the protective jacket?

Other than in its bare form, you can carry the WebDT 375 in an optional custom carrying pouch with cutouts for
display, buttons, LEDs, speakers and microphone.

Who do I call if I have customer service questions?

Refer to the contact information for customer service or technical support as provided by your device provider.
Your device provider may also offer email contact for obtaining support.
