Shutting down the system

Follow these steps to shut down and turn off your system:

Ê If system operation has been suspended, resume system operation. See the "Res um i ng

operation" section i n this chapter for detai l s.

Ê Save your work and close all running programs. Ê Choose Shut Down from the Windows Start menu. Ê Carry out the command.

The system is now in the OFF mode.

Suspending system operation

The Tablet PC allows you t o suspend the system operation without cl osing programs or exiting t h e operating system. Use this feature to conserve battery power when a system shutdown is not practical or when the bat t e ry needs to be changed.

If you have set your system to turn Shut down from the Power Options utility in the Control

Panel, the following procedure will not be pos sible, since pressi ng t he button shuts the system down rather than suspending it. To change the power options, go to Start - Control Panel - Power Options.

To suspend system operation:

Ê Press the On/Resume/Suspend button, or carry out the S t andby command from your

operating system or power management program.

If your system is configured to suspend operation using Hibernate mode, a message is display ed while data is saved to your hard disk.

If you are replacing the battery, wait until system operation is suspended and the power

indicator is blinking before you remove the bat t ery. Failure to do so could result in loss of your unsaved data. (Not e t hat if the Resume On LAN function is enabl ed i n t he BIOS Setup, you should not remove the battery unless the system is shut down. When Resume ON LAN is enabled, the buffer battery is dis abl ed i n order to optimise battery life.)

The power indicator either fl ashes (Suspend-to-RAM) or is not displayed (Hibernat e) when system operation is suspended, depending on how y our system is configured. At this point, programs that were runni ng are stopped, active data is saved, and the system enters one of two diff erent l ow-power modes, or suspend modes, as explained in the following paragraphs

22 - English A26391-K129-Z121-1-7619

Page 29

Using the Tablet PC

Observe the power indicat or i n the status displ ay to determine which suspend mode your system is using.

− Flashing: Suspend-to-RAM-Modus In this mode, ac tive data is sav ed by maintaining power to RAM whi l e m ost other system components are powered off. The Battery Gauge icon indicates the battery charge lev el.

− Is not displayed (dark): Hibernate mode In this mode, ac tive data is st ored on t he hard disk drive. Power draw is reduced to the same level used in OFF mode. When the system is in Hibernate mode, the battery gauge icon is not visible. In thi s mode, there is no danger of losing data if battery power is l ost.

Refer to the "Resuming operation" section in t hi s chapter to resume system operation. Also, note the following with regard t o suspending system operation:

• You can remove the battery while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate mode in

order to install a charged bat tery. To prevent losi ng unsaved data, wait until system operation has suspended before you remove the battery. Note that after you rem ove the battery, y ou have approximately fi ve minutes to replace i t with a new battery or to plug in a power s uppl y before the buffer battery is depleted.

• Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically aft er a peri od of inactivity.

• Your system may be configured to enter Hibernate mode automatically after a period of time in

Suspend-to-RAM mode.

• The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Suspend-to-RA M m ode. Eventually,

the battery will become fully dis charged.

If you will not be using the system for an extended period of time, shut down the system

rather than using Suspend-t o-RAM mode.

• If the battery charge drops to a Low Battery warning level while the system is running, the

system will beep periodically. If t hi s occurs, sus pend system operati on, shut down the system, or attach an external power source, such as t he power adapt er, to the Tablet PC.

• If the battery charge drops to a critically low level while the system is running, the system is

forced into a pre-selec ted mode (Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate). If this oc curs, you must ei ther install a charged battery, or connect an appropriate external power source such as the power adapter before you can resume system operation. (If the battery charge drops to a critic al l y low level while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM mode, the system stays in Suspend-to-RAM mode until power is rest ored or totally dissipated.)

• Suspending system operation interrupts data communicati ons. Therefore, some programs m ay

block the system from suspending to prevent an interruption.

A26391-K129-Z121-1-7619 English - 23

Page 30

Using the Tablet PC

• The suspend function of the On/Resume/Suspend button may be disabled to prevent

accidental interruption. If this i s the case, press i ng the On/Resume/Suspend button will not suspend system operation as desc ri bed here. (In this case, suspend mode can only be achieved using the system software.) Contact your authorised sales partner if your system configuration is not suitable.

• If your system is equipped with a PC card that allows you to connect to a wired or wireles s

network, you may be l ogged off the network after a peri od of inactivity while system operation is suspended. Contact your network administrator for details on l og-of f parameters for your network.

Resuming operation

To resume system operation (from either Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate mode), pres s the On/Resume/Suspend button.

• From Suspend-to-RAM mode

Status indicators indicate that the system mode is changing. It may take approximately one minute before the system returns to the ON mode and system operation resumes. Note that the display turns on shortly before the pen becom es active due to the power-up s equences observed by the system.

• From Hibernate mode

Active data is read from the hard disk drive. The system returns to the ON mode after a short time.

Note that power to several system components must be restored before system operation

resumes. Allow sufficient time for system operation to resume before attempting to use the system. If your system uses the Suspend mode "Hibernate", it will take longer to resume operation as compared to using S uspend-to-RAM mode. Time is needed to read data from the hard disk drive.

• Use the system as you normally would once system operation resumes.

All programs resume at the point where execution s topped when system operation was suspended.

If the tip is worn or damaged, discard it.

Charging the battery

The Tablet PC battery can be charged while it is installed in the Tablet PC. To do so:

Ê Connect a power source, such as the power adapter on the Tablet PC.

The DC Input icon appears in t he S tatus display. If the battery charge is below 90%, the battery begins charging. The Charging i con appears in the Status display. If the battery c harge is 90% or higher when you connect DC power, the battery will not charge. This prevents the battery from being overcharged.

Look at the Battery Gauge icon in the Status display to determi ne t he percent of charge in the battery. See the " Status display " section in the "Getting started" chapt er f or a description of the Battery Gauge icon.

As long as the power source remains connected t o t he Tabl et PC, the charging proces s continues until the battery charge reaches 100%.

Further information about t he battery charging time can be found in chapter "Techni cal data". Also note the following with respect to charging the battery:

• You can use the system, suspend system operation, or shut down and turn off the system

without interrupting t he charging process. Howev er, using the system while the battery is charging will cause the battery to charge at a slower rate.

28 - English A26391-K129-Z121-1-7619

Page 35

Using the Tablet PC

• As noted in the procedure abov e, the system will not begin charging the battery pack i f the

battery pack c harge l evel is 90% or higher when the system is initially connected to external power source. This prevents the battery from bei ng overcharged.

• The Tablet PC battery uses Lithium ion battery cells which have no "m em ory effect." Y ou do

not need to discharge the bat tery before you begin charging.

Removing and installing the battery

The battery can be removed f rom the Tablet PC and swapped with a charged bat tery. The discharged battery can then be charged in an external c harger i f one is available.

Ê Select one of the following options f or prepare for removing the battery :

− If a charged battery is avail abl e, you can suspend system operation. A buil t-in buffer battery will maintain the system in Suspend-to-RAM mode for about 5 minutes while t he battery is remov ed. This allows tim e f or repl acement with a charged batt ery.

− If a charged battery is not avai l abl e, save your work and cl ose all running programs, then shut down the system or initiate Hibernate mode.

− Plug in an external DC power source.

Tips for conserving battery power

Battery life i s dependent upon the operating system, power settings, and applications in use. You can extend the charge li fe of your battery by conserving battery power:

• Use an external power sourc e such as the power adapter whenever t he system is docked to a

Tablet Dock.

• Suspend system operation if you know that you won’t be using the system for a while.

• Shut down the system if you won’t be using the system for an extended period of time.

• Use energy options of the operating system to help you conserve power.

• If you do not use the Tabl et PC for a short time, you can minimise or s wi t ch off the screen

lighting on Model ST41X1 to save energy. During work as well, you do not need to use the screen lighting under favourable lighting conditi ons (in rooms and in the open).

Buffer battery

When installed in the Tablet PC, the battery prov i des power to some system components - even when the system is in the OFF mode. When the battery is removed, power is s uppl i ed to these components by a buffer battery that is bui l t i nto the Tablet PC.

The buffer battery is not designed for long-term operati on. To maintain the buffer bat t ery properly, observe the following measures:

The buffer battery function is disabled if Wake On LAN is enabl ed i n t he BIOS Setup.

• To prevent draining the buffer battery, always store the system with a charged battery install ed.

• If the buffer batt ery becomes drained, it t akes approximately 8 hours for it to be fully recharged.

The system arrives with the buffer battery in a discharged state. Charge the buffer battery sufficient l y before relying upon it to s upport the system in the event of battery removal.

Wireless LAN

Your Tablet PC can be upgraded with an i ntegrated wireless LAN modul e (PRISM Wireless LA N) as an option. The PRISM Configuration Utility is provided for confi guration and status dis pl ays of the network card.

This chapter describes how t o ins tall the drivers and the configuration ut ilit y and how to make settings for your wireless LAN.

Wireless network as per IEEE 802.11 standard

The "PRISM Wireless LAN" network card operates in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard. The 2.4 GHz ISM frequenc y band is used as a comm uni cations medium. The wirel ess networks operating in accordance with 802.11 can easily be c onnected to existi ng E thernet networks. Wit h the exception of a f ew addi tional parameters, wireless network cards that operate in accordance with 802.11 are one system with a normal Ethernet card. This means that you can use all protocols via a 802.11 wireless network just as with a cable-connected Ethernet (IP, IPX, NetBIOS,...). The only difference is that you need not lay cables between the computers. The number of all wireles s LAN stations that c an reach each other directly is generally referred to as a cell. The IEEE standard offers two operating modes - the adhoc mode (peer-to-peer) and the inf rastructure mode.

Adhoc mode

A wireless LAN in t he adhoc mode, also called peer-to-peer mode, consist s of a single clos ed cell. Adhoc wireless net works result when a workgroup c om es together with its systems and would like to interconnect these for data exchange. Any number of systems can be added to this type of network and can leave it again.

So that several adhoc wireless networks do not interfere with each ot her i n radi o traffic, there is a unique network name, the SSID (Service Set Identifier). The SSI D i s used for addressing s o t hat a data packet can always be assigned to a certain cell.

If you want to join an existing cell, you require the network name (SSID), which you enter i n t he settings for the network card. The driver searches for a wireless network with this I D duri ng start-up. When the driver has found a wireless network, it connects to it and you can communicate wi th the systems in this wireless network. If two cells are very close together, the channels of t hese networks should be 4 to 5 channels apart .

Infrastructure mode

In the infrastruc ture mode, a base stati on, referred to as an Acces sPoint, exists in addition to the mobile stations . In the infrastruc t ure m ode the AccessPoi nt assumes the function of a "guard". In contrast to the adhoc mode, each system must log on to the AccessPoint before it is allowed to exchange data in the cel l .

Another task of the AccessPoi nt is the connecti on of the cells with a cable-connected Ethernet . As due to the logon requirement, t he AccessPoint knows at all times exactly whic h stations are on the radio side, it can decide exactly which data must be sent t o i t and which don't. This process is also referred to as bridging.

A26391-K129-Z121-1-7619 English - 35

Page 42

Wireless LAN

The range of a wireless network can be increased with sev eral AccessPoints. The AccessPoints have the same SSI D for this purpose. When a system enters the wireless net, it searches among the reachable AccessPoints for t he one wi th the strongest si gnal and l ogs on there. Two systems logged on to different AccessPoints communicate wit h each other in this way, even when they are not within direct radio reach. If a system also continuously monitors the radio situation after the logon, it can detec t how the signals from an AccessPoint become weaker and those of another become stronger, and can then log on to the stronger one without the user noticing. Thi s procedure is referred to as roaming.

Operating system requirements

Profile Name A profile is a col l ection of parameters f or t he network card. If y ou select

an existing profil e, all parameters are set as defined in the profile. Cl i ck on the arrow next to the Profile Name field to display the available profiles. The Default profile is provided as a standard and contains the param eters that were configured during the i nstallation. You c an change the profile at any time after the i n stallation.

You can create an additional profile by entering the name in the Profile Name field and then changing the parameters as desired. If y ou want to subscribe to dif ferent wireless network s, you can create dif ferent profiles for them.

Network Name The network name is the SSID (Serv i ce Set Identifier) used by the

AccessPoi nt and systems to identify a wireless LAN. Your network card searches the avail abl e channels for a partner (AccessPoint or system) with the same SSID. The network card then attempts to connect to this AccessPoint or system. To change an SSID, mark the SS ID and enter a new SSID. If you system cannot establish a connec tion to an AccessP oi nt in the vicinit y, check whether t he S SID is entered correctly. If you use the entry ANY, then your system connects to any A ccessPoint. The AccessPoi nt must then be configured so that it permits any subscriber (no access restrictions).

Network Type The network card can operate eit her i n the adhoc mode (802.11 Adhoc) or

in the infrastructure mode (Infrastructure). Click on the arrow next to t he

Network Type field and select the mode.

AdHoc Channel Specifies the channel in the adhoc mode. Click on the arrow next to the

field Adhoc Channel until the channel appears. In the infrastructure mode this field cannot be selected, as the channels are automatical l y specified by the Acces sPoint.

Power Save Enabled The IEEE standard 802.11 supports a power s av e mode. Activating this

mode can same a great deal of power and is of interest f or batteryoperated systems. However, the power save mode also results in a lower transmission and reception speed on the wireles s LAN.

Transmit Rate Specifies the transmi ssion rate with whic h t he network card transmits and

receives data. Cl i ck on the arrow next to t he Transmit Rate field to see the possible transmi ssion rates. We only recommend set t i ng Fully Automatic. The network card selects the highest possible transmission rate for reliable communicat i ons. The fixed transmission rates are usually only used in test environments.
