Network Operation
9. Network Operation
9.1. What is a Network?
We talk about a network when multiple computers are directly connected to one
another. This allows users to transfer information and data with one another and to
share their resources (printers and drives).
Here are a few concrete examples:
• In an office, messages are exchanged by e-mail and appointments are managed
centrally.
• Users share one printer on the network and back up their data to a central com-
puter (server).
• Two or more computers are connected to one another to play network games or
exchange data.
9.2. Wireless LAN (Wireless Network)
Wireless LAN is an optional feature. This function enables you to establish a network
connection to a corresponding remote station. Please read about the necessary requirements.
The wireless LAN function is enabled and disabled via the Windows

CAUTION!
Do not operate the WLAN function in locations (e.g.: hospitals, planes, etc.) where there is sensitive equipment. Do
not switch on the device unless you are sure it will cause
no interference.
9.2.1. Requirements
A so-called WLAN access point may be used as a remote station. A WLAN access
point is a radio transmitting device that communicates with your device and controls access to the connected network.
WLAN access points are frequently found in large offices, airports, train stations, universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to particular services and networks or
to the Internet.
Access permissions are generally necessary and often result in usage charges. Access points often have built-in DSL modems. These so-called routers establish the
connection to the existing DSL Internet connection and the wireless LAN.
A connection can also be established to another end device with wireless LAN functionality without an access point. Without a router, however, the network is restricted to those devices directly connected to it.
27 von 52
Network Operation
If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used for all devices. Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from unauthorised access.
The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of users accessing the remote station.
9.3. Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology is used to wirelessly bridge short distances. Bluetooth devices
transfer data via radio so that computers, mobile phones, printers, keyboards, mice
and other devices can communicate with one another wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless
technology has numerous possible applications. A few of them are listed below:
• Creating a wireless Internet connection using a mobile phone.
• Transferring files between computers or between a computer and another device.
• Printing using a Bluetooth printer.
• Using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
• Connecting to a PAN (Personal Area Network).
The Bluetooth wireless technology data transfer speed can vary depending on the
device or environmental factors. Data can be transferred through walls, jacket pockets and briefcases using a Bluetooth device. The transfer between Bluetooth devices
occurs at the high frequency of 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz). For Bluetooth high speed data
transfer, WLAN must be enabled and the partner station must also support the high
speed mode.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the Bluetooth function in locations (e.g.:
hospitals, aeroplanes, etc.) where there is sensitive equipment. Do not switch on the device unless you are sure it
will cause no interference.
9.4. Flight Mode
In flight mode, all wireless connections (e.g. WLAN, Bluetooth) are disabled. Flight
mode is disabled by default to ensure that all wireless connections are available.
` Drag your finger from the right edge of the screen towards the centre of the

10. The Card Reader
Memory cards are media that are used, e.g. in the field of digital photography, and
are gradually replacing the diskette. The shape and capacity of a memory card can
vary depending on the manufacturer. Your device supports the following formats:
• microSD (Secure Digital), microSDHC, microSDXC
10.1. Inserting a Memory Card
` Insert the microSD into the card slot on the tablet unit as shown below.
PLEASE NOTE!
The memory cards can only be inserted in one direction. Ensure that the
contacts of the microSD card are facing away from the display. Do not
use force to push in cards as this may damage them.
10.2. Removing Memory Cards
` To remove SD cards, first push these into the socket to release the safety catch.
` Now pull the card out of the slot and store it properly.
11. The Universal Serial Bus Port
The universal serial bus is a standard for connecting input devices, scanners and
other peripherals.
PLEASE NOTE!
Where possible, always connect your USB devices to the same port that
they were originally installed on. Otherwise they will be assigned a new
ID and the drivers will need to be reinstalled.
12. Securing Your Device
Your new device has software and hardware solutions for preventing unauthorised
access.

12.1. Password Setting (Power-on)
You can protect your device against unauthorised use with a power-on password.
On switching on the device, a password prompt will appear on the screen. The password is set up in the UEFI firmware configuration.
CAUTION!
Keep your password in a safe place. If you forget your
password, you have no way of deleting it. If this happens,
contact your service centre.
You can also use the Windows® 8.1 security options to protect your data against unauthorised access.
13. Software
This section deals with the subject of software. We distinguish here between the

13.3. Windows® 8.1 – What’s New
13.3.1. Microsoft Account
A Microsoft account is an e-mail address and password for logging in to Windows®
8.1. You can use any e-mail address. We recommend using the address you use to
communicate with friends and log into your favourite web sites, however.
The Microsoft account also allows you to purchase or download apps from the Store
and install them on up to five devices.
Once you have logged on to your device using a Microsoft account, you also have
access to the various services and programs provided by Microsoft.
• The contact information and status updates for your friends from services such
as Hotmail, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn will be updated automatically as
soon as you run these services using your Microsoft account.
• You can also access and share your photos, documents and other files via
SkyDrive, Facebook and Flickr.
• Your personal settings, including designs, language settings, Internet favourites
and apps will be synchronised with each PC running Windows
on to.
• You can obtain Apps from the Windows

` Tap Change PC settings. > Accounts > Switch to a Microsoft account.
13.3.2. Taskbar
You can start programs from the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and switch between programs that are already running. In Windows® 8.1, you can place any program onto the taskbar, so that you can always open it with a single tap of your finger. You can also rearrange the icons on the taskbar by simply tapping on them and
dragging them to the desired position.
13.3.3. Jump Lists
Jump lists offer a practical way of calling up recently opened files. In order to display the recently used files, simply tap on the application icon in the taskbar. For
example, if you tap on the Word icon, the recently used Word documents are displayed. You can also easily place other files that you wish to have quickly to hand in
the jump list so that they are always displayed. This allows you to access documents
that you use more frequently.
The jump lists for certain programs such as Windows® 8.1 Media Player can be populated in advance with frequently used commands. Thus, for example, you will see
options to play all music or to reopen the last playlist in the jump list for Windows
®
8.1 Media Player.
32 von 52
Software
The frequently visited and last visited websites are displayed in the jump list for Internet Explorer. This therefore allows you to quickly access commands for certain
programs that could previously only be called up from the program itself, such as
the command to compose a new e-mail message.

Windows® 8.1 allows you to connect, manage and use all devices via the central “Devices” function.
All devices are shown in a central location.
With the new “Device Stage” technology, however, Windows® 8.1 goes one step fur-
ther with device management. Device Stage helps you to use all compatible devices that are connected to the computer. Thanks to Device Stage you can now display
the device status and perform frequently used commands within a single window.
Here you will even find images of the devices so you can easily see which devices
are connected. The device manufacturers can even adjust Device Stage. For example, if your camera manufacturer releases an updated version of Device Stage, you
can see details such as the number of photos on the camera and get links to useful
information when you connect the camera to your device.

This can cause an electrical short circuit.
` Close the device and check that the lid is firmly closed.
` Always use a device carrying case to protect the device from dirt, moisture, vi-
brations and scratches.
` Always use the original cardboard packaging to ship your device and obtain ad-
vice on this from your carrier.
` Always charge your batteries fully before embarking on longer trips and do not
forget to take along your mains adapter.
` Find out about the power and communication options available in your destina-
tion before travelling.
` Where necessary, purchase the required power or communication adapter (LAN
etc.) before departure.
` Over time, dust can collect inside the device which then blocks the vents. This
can lead to an increase in the fan speed and, therefore, also increase the operating volume of your device. It can also lead to overheating and malfunctions.
Therefore, have the interior of the device cleaned by your service department or
a specialist at regular intervals.
15.6. Maintenance
CAUTION!
None of the parts inside the device housing require cleaning or maintenance.
You can increase the lifespan of your device with the following measures:
` Always unplug the device, disconnect all cables before cleaning.
` Clean the device with a damp, lint-free cloth.
` Do not use solvents, corrosive or aerosol-based detergents to clean the device.

European EN 9241-307 Class II Standard
18. European EN 9241-307 Class II Standard
For active matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, each of which
consist of three sub-pixels (red, green, blue), there are a total of approx. 2.3 million
control transistors in use. Due to this very high number of transistors and the associated extremely complex manufacturing processes used, occasionally one or more
pixels can fail or become incorrectly controlled.
In the past, there were a number of approaches for defining the permitted number
of pixel defects. However, these approaches were mostly very complicated and varied from one manufacturer to the next. When handling warranty issues for all of its
display products, MEDION therefore adheres to the strict and transparent requirements of the standard ISO 9241-307, Class II; which has been briefly summarised
below.
The EN 9241-307 standard defines, amongst other things, the generally applicable
guidelines relating to pixel defects. Pixel defects are categorised into four fault classes and three defect types. Every individual pixel consists of three sub-pixels, each of
which is assigned a basic colour (red, green, blue).
