BIOS Setup

Note:

 If the master password is lost or it is not set earlier than the user

password, losing the user password would make accessing
impossible. So please set the master password at first and keep it
carefully.

Setting Password

1. Once you set HDD passwords successfully, you must enter user password to boot in
the future. The master password provides an alternative entry in case the user
password is lost.

2. Clearing the master password in BIOS setup will also clear the current user password.
Master password is used as a backup key, it’s better not to be changed frequently.

3. You can set your master password and user password with a length between 1 and 32
characters. If you want to clear current password, type nothing when creating a new
password.

4. After you set a password, “Pwd Status” will change from “NOT INSTALLED” to
“INSTALLED” and the “security enabled” status will change to “YES”.

5. Your setting will take effect after reboot.

Resetting Password

1. After typing an invalid user password three times, a message will show “HDD is
locked”. Pressing “Enter” will leave the screen message.

2. Press “F2” immediately to enter the BIOS setup where the lost users password could
be cleared with the master password.

3. Once the HDD is locked, users have no right to access. You can only enter again by
the correct user password or clear it by the master password.

4. A warm boot will cause HDD Security Frozen in the selection. Only a cold boot can lift
the HDD Security frozen and allow further operations in the BIOS setup. (After a cold
boot, users can try to enter again with the correct user password or just reset it with the
master password)

Cleaning

ALWAYS turn OFF the power, unplug the power cord and remove the battery before
cleaning.
The exterior of the system and display may be wiped with a clean, soft, and lint-free cloth.
If there is difficulty removing dirt, apply non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner to
the cloth and wipe.
An air gun is recommended for cleaning water and dust. For salty water please clean with
fresh water then blow-dry with an air gun.

Troubleshooting

Should the tablet computer fail to function properly, the troubleshooting steps below may
be followed.

 Power Problems:

When I turn on the Tablet computer, it does not respond.

- If you are using battery power, check if the battery is charged

- If you are using AC power, ensure that the connection of AC adapter is correct.

I cannot return from Hibernation while on battery power

- The battery might be drained. Please plug the tablet into AC power.

- Hard reset the device by pressing the power button for 4 seconds

Unexpected or improper shutdown causes BIOS to reset to Optimized Default

- This could be a power problem. Please connect the AC power adapter to fix the
abnormal shutdown problem.

 Minimize the configuration, i.e. remove extra peripherals and devices.
 Remove the modules one by one (SSD, Battery, etc.).
 Remove the software suspected.
 Set BIOS fail-safe default.
 Re-install operating system and application software.

RMA Service

If troubleshooting solutions are unsuccessful, consult your dealer for RMA.
Shipping instructions:

1. Remove any personal add-on devices or other media.

2. Use the original shipping container and packing materials, if possible.

3. If the original packing materials are not available, wrap the equipment with soft
