Getting Started

Package Contents

When you open your box please check your package is complete and
all items are in good order.

Your box should contain:

• 10” eTouch 1000ET

• DC Power Adapter

• Information Booklet

• Warranty card

If you have anything missing or any items are damaged please contact
your place of purchase.

Setting up your eTouch

Open the package and carefully remove the packaging. It‟s
recommended that you retain the package for the duration of the
warranty period.

Your eTouch has a screen protector (a thin film to protect the screen
during transit). Please use the tab to slowly and carefully remove this
from the screen as it will reduce the quality of the screen image.

Battery Icon The Battery icon shows in the menu bar at eth
top of your screen. It shows the amount of charge in your
battery. When the lightning symbol shows it means the
battery is still charging.

Battery Charging

Your eTouch has a built in rechargeable lithium battery which is
supplied with no charge in for transportation reasons. We recommend
that you charge the battery for around 8 Hours for its first charge, to
achieve the best battery life. You can still use the eTouch but it‟s best to
keep it plugged in for this charging period.

To maximise your battery life it‟s recommended that you always fully
charge the battery and then use the eTouch unplugged until the
battery power is low, at which point you can recharge the battery.
Using full charging and draining cycles is much better than charging
the battery bit by bit.

To charge the battery, simply connect the power adaptor to your mains
wall socket and the DC Power Input and switch it on.

 The LED Battery Indicator (at the top right of the eTouch) will

illuminate red.

 Once the battery is fully charged the LED will turn off.
 You can see the battery charge status in the menu bar at the

top of your eTouch‟s screen.

 NOTE: The LED will illuminate Blue when the eTouch is powered

ON (even when in standby mode). It will show Blue and Red
when powered ON and charging.

Only use the authorised Elonex power adaptor as supplied in your
package.
