To Remove the Secondary Lithium-Polymer Battery Pack

Turn over the tablet and place it on a solid, clean flat surface.
Slide the battery release latch away from the battery and hold
it there. Use your other hand to carefully lift up the side of the
battery near the latch. Once clear of the latch, you can release
it and use both hands to lift the battery up and away from the
opposite side that holds the retaining tabs into place.

Step 2: Connecting the Ultra-Mobile PC to an External Power
Source

Locate the AC adapter and the power cord. Plug the power cord
securely into the AC adapter. Plug the AC adapter’s connection
cable into the “DC Power In” port on the top of the tablet. Once

4 Chapter 01: Getting Started

the adapter plug is securely in place, plug the power cord into an
external power socket.

NOTE: When you first connect the tablet into an external power
source, the battery charge indicator will begin to glow amber. When
the battery is fully charged the indicator will turn green. See the
section entitled Battery Care for tips on maximizing battery life and
performance.

Step 3: Connecting Applicable Peripherals and Networking Cables

If you would like to use any external peripheral with the tablet
(i.e. USB mouse, USB keyboard, etc.) or are planning to connect
to the Internet and/or a corporate LAN using a wired connection
(RJ45) as opposed to wirelessly, connect the external peripheral
now. See the chapter entitled Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile PC, to
identify which ports to use.

IMPORTANT: When you power on the a7330T for the first time, you
will need to have an external USB keyboard connected in order to
complete the Windows XP Professional installation routine. The
a7330D can use the on-screen keyboard in Active Digitizer mode.

Step 4: Powering on the eo Ultra-Mobile PC

Locate the three power switches on the top on the tablet. The

switch is the computer’s main power toggle. Slide it to the
right and hold it there until it emits a blue glow (about 1-2
seconds) and then release it. The eo Ultra-Mobile PC will now
boot up.

Chapter 01: Getting Started 5

Step 5: Completing the Operating System Installation

When your system powers on for the first time, Windows will
have a few questions for you to answer in order to localize your
installation.

NOTE: You’ll need a USB keyboard connected to your a7330T in order
to answer some of the questions that require text input. You can use
the on-screen keyboard with your a7330D in Active Digitizer mode.

Refer to your operating system’s manual for information on any
of the questions you are unsure how to answer.

Interacting with the Active Digitizer and/or Touch Screen

Unlike a standard laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational
activities on an Ultra-Mobile PC are completed using the stylus
pen, or even your fingers if using the touch screen. The screen
will react to the pen differently depending on whether you are
using the Touch Screen mode or the Active Digitizer mode.

Touch Screen mode

Navigating with a touch screen is different from navigating with
a mouse. The pen will interact with the computer whenever you
touch it to the screen.

Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen.
Instead of sliding the pen around the screen, just tap on what
you want to interact with. Sliding the pen while lightly touching
the tip to the screen will move the on-screen pointer around as
if you were using a mouse and holding down the left mouse
button. In other words, you would be performing what is known
as a drag operation.

Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to the touch,
resting your hand on the screen while using the pen might make
the pointer react unpredictably.

TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with
the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead
of the tip of the pen.

6 Chapter 01: Getting Started

Tapping lightly on the screen will perform a standard left mouse
button click. Holding the tip of the pen against the screen with­out moving it for about a second or so will perform a standard
right mouse button click.

Active Digitizer mode (a7330D only)

The eo a7330D dual mode screen is auto-sensing. The screen will
default to touch screen mode until is senses that the stylus pen
is near the screen. Once the pen is close enough to the screen to
be detected, the eo a7330 will automatically switch to digitizer
mode.

Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen.
Place the tip of the stylus just above the screen and move it
around. The pointer should follow the tip of the pen. In this
mode your hand may rest on the screen, since this will not affect
the behavior of the pointer.

TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with
the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead
of the tip of the pen.

Tapping lightly on the screen with the tip of the stylus will
perform a standard left mouse click. If you want to perform a
right mouse click, press and hold down the tip of the stylus
lightly on the screen. In a moment, an animated icon will draw
around the pointer. Lift the stylus from the screen to complete
the button press.

NOTE: Animated
cues, or floating
tablet tips, will
only appear in the
Active Digitizer
mode if your Sahara
Slate PC is running
Windows XP
Tablet PC Edition or
Windows Vista.

Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile PC

The eo a7330 Ultra-Mobile PC features a number of physical
characteristics designed to help you work as efficiently as
possible. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the controls
and Input/ Output (I/O) ports on the faces and sides of the
computer. Understanding the layout of the system will help you
use your eo a7330 more efficiently while in the field or on-the-go.

The eo a7330T features a resistive touch screen,
while the eo a7330 D features an all new auto-switching,
dual mode digitizer/touch screen by Wacom that is also
sunlight viewable.

4. Auto-Switching Dual Mode Screen (a7330D only)

Screen mode is set to Touch Screen by default. When the
stylus pen’s writing tip is within sensing distance—approxi­mately 12-15mm—the screen will automatically switch to
Active Digitizer mode. When the pen’s writing tip is moved
away from the screen, it will switch back to Touch Screen
mode. When in Digitizer mode, the screen is not sensitive
to touch (except by the stylus pen’s writing tip), and thus
resting your hand on the screen while writing or navigating
will have no influence on the pointer’s position.

4. Passive Resistive Touch Screen (a7330T only)

Touch Screen is responsive to touch by any object, as the
screen’s sensors react purely to pressure, as opposed to a
magnetic tip or electrical conduction. Resting your hand
on the screen while writing or navigating may affect the
pointer’s position.
