This chapter provides information about the use of the Tablet PC.

If you are new to computers, reading this chapter will help you learn the operating
basics. If you are already a computer user, you may choose to read only the parts
containing information unique to your Tablet PC.

CAUTION:

 Do not expose your skin to the Tablet PC when operating it

in a very hot or cold environment.

 The Tablet PC can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in

high temperatures. As a safety precaution in such a
circumstance, do not place the Tablet PC on your lap or touch
it with your bare hands for extended periods of time.
Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially
a burn.

Navigating on the Screen

Navigating on the ScreenNavigating on the Screen

Navigating on the Screen

The screen of your Tablet PC is touch-sensitive. You can control the location of the
cursor/pointer on the screen using the included stylus or your finger to communicate
with the Tablet PC.

CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen or
pencil on the touchscreen. Doing so may damage the touchscreen
surface. Use the included stylus or your finger.

NOTE: An optical film has been attached to the screen before
shipment. The film is a consumable, which will be worn out by
possible scratches. You can purchase a new one when replacement
is required.

Using the Touchscreen

Using the TouchscreenUsing the Touchscreen

Using the Touchscreen

Your Tablet PC has a capacitive touchscreen. This type of touchscreen responds to
objects that have conductive properties, such as fingertips and a capacitive-tipped
stylus.

You can change the touchscreen sensitivity settings to suit your scenario. Double-tap
the Touch Screen Mode shortcut on Windows desktop to open the settings menu and
select one of the options (as shown below).

NOTE:

 In high temperatures (above 60

o

C / 140 °F), set the mode to

Touch instead of Glove or Pen mode.

Select this if you are using the
stylus. (You must use the one

supplied with your model

.)

Select this if you are wearing gloves (referring

to

warm gloves or work gloves, not referring to
touchscreen-capable gloves).

Select this if you prefer using
fingertips. Also, select this when
raindrops are falling
on the screen and should be
rejected as input.

15

 If liquid is spilled on the touchscreen causing a wet area,

the area will stop responding to any inputs. For the area to
function again, you must dry it.

The following table shows how you use the touchscreen to obtain equivalent mouse

Managing Power

Your Tablet PC operates either on external AC power or on internal battery power.

This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain optimal
battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the proper way.

AC Adapter

AC AdapterAC Adapter

AC Adapter

CAUTION:

 The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only.

Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the
adapter.

 The AC power cord supplied with your Tablet PC is for use

in the country where you purchased your Tablet PC. If you
plan to go overseas with the Tablet PC, consult your dealer
for the appropriate power cord.

 When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the

electrical outlet first and then from the Tablet PC. A reverse
procedure may damage the AC adapter or Tablet PC.

 When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head.

Never pull on the cord.

The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct
Current) power because your Tablet PC runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet
usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC
power.

The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC.

NOTE:

 Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is

outside the allowed range, which is between 0 °C (32 °F) and
50 °C (122 °F). Once the battery’s temperature meets the

requirements, charging automatically resumes.

 During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the

battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a
prematurely charged battery.

 The battery has a high temperature protection mechanism

which limits the maximum charge of the battery to 80% of its
total capacity in the event of high temperature conditions.
In such conditions, the battery will be regarded as fully
charged at 80% capacity.

 The battery level may automatically lessen due to the

self-discharge process, even when the battery pack is fully
charged. This happens no matter if the battery pack is
installed in the Tablet PC.

To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an electrical
outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the Tablet PC glows amber to indicate
that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the Tablet PC power off while
the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge
Indicator glows green.

The two battery packs are charged in sequence (Battery 1 first and then Battery 2). It
takes approximately 5 hours to fully charge the two battery packs when the power is off
and approximately 6 hours when the power is on (may need a longer charging time at
lower temperatures).

24

CAUTION: After the Tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not
immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge
it again. Doing so may damage the battery.

Initializing the Battery Pack

Initializing the Battery PackInitializing the Battery Pack

Initializing the Battery Pack

You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when the
actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing is the
process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours.

A software tool called “Gauge Reset” is provided for the purpose. Use the G-Manager
program and select the Battery tab to find the tool.

Checking the Battery Level

Checking the Battery Level

NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The
actual operating time can be different from the estimated time,
depending on how you are using the Tablet PC.

The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the
Tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a
shorter operating time.

The two battery packs are discharged in parallel.

Battery Pack Guidelines

GuidelinesGuidelines

Guidelines

 Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make

sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to the battery
pack.

 The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will

shorten its life:
– when frequently charging the battery pack
– when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature
condition

 To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its

useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to frequently
increase its internal temperature.

 Charge the battery pack between 10 °C ~ 30 °C (50 °F ~ 86 °F) temperature

range. A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s
temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed vehicle and

56

in hot weather condition. Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is not
within the allowed temperature range.

 It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than once a day.

 It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the Tablet PC’s power

off.

 To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool dark place

removed from the Tablet PC and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge remaining.

 Important guidelines when using the battery pack.

When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the following:
– avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the Tablet PC is
in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause
loss of data or the Tablet PC may become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the Tablet PC.
The Tablet PC’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly affect
the battery pack’s charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the Tablet PC is turned on.
To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the
Tablet PC in Sleep or Hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten
the discharge time.

 When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you

may experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading.
This phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The
appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C (14 °F ~ 122
°F).

Guidelines

 Use the finger or the included stylus on the display. Using a sharp or metallic

object other than your finger or stylus may cause scratches and damage the
display, thereby causing errors.

 Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has a

special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a soft

57

cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen
surface.

 Turn off the Tablet PC power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the display

with the power on may cause improper operation.

 Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the

display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display.

 In low and high temperatures (below 5

o

C / 41 °F and above 60 oC / 140 °F), the

touchscreen may have a slower response time or register the touch in the wrong
location. It will go back to normal after returning to room temperature.

 When there is noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen

function (wrong location on intended operation or improper display resolution),
refer to the Windows online Help for instructions on recalibrating the
touchscreen display.

 When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the ENERGY

STAR®, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of greenhouse gases out of
the air.

 If left inactive, ENERGY STAR

®

qualified computers enter a low-power mode and
may use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power management
features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than even just a few years
ago.

 Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy, but

helps equipment run cooler and last longer.

 Businesses that use ENERGY STAR

®

enabled office equipment may realize

additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.

 Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR

®

qualified equipment in a single home office
(e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light an
entire home for more than 4 years.

 Power management (“sleep settings”) on computers and monitors can result in

much savings annually.

Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power management
features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air pollution.
By using less energy, these products help lower consumers’ utility bills, and prevent
greenhouse gas emissions.
