Setting Up Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC
The following steps will help you power up and get running with your new eo a7400 Tablet PC
as quickly and effortlessly as possible. These steps might change slightly over time with newer
revisions of the installed operating system, or when your tablet is purchased from a system
integrator or solutions provider.
Step 1: Insert the Battery Pack (if not already installed)
Turn the tablet over so the back of the system is facing toward you.
CAUTION: When turning over the eo a7400, be careful not to place it on a surface that could scratch or
damage the LCD screen. You can place the included slip case on the surface before carefully setting the
computer down to protect the screen.
Align the battery into the battery bay and then slide it into the bay until it clicks securely into
place. You may notice that the battery bay is marked as
. This is because the first battery is
internal and not user replaceable.
Slide the battery-locking tab to the locked (
) position. Once the locking tab clicks into position,
the battery should be securely seated.
Align the battery in the bay and slide it into
place. You will hear a click when the battery is
properly seated.
Slide the locking tab on the battery to the
locked position to keep the battery secured in
the bay.
Step 2: Connect the eo a7400 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 In” port on the right side of the eo a7400.
Once the adapter plug is securely in place, plug the power cord into an external power socket.
Plug the power cord into the DC In jack on the
right side of the tablet.
IMPORTANT: You should allow the battery pack(s) to charge fully before disconnecting the eo a7400 from
the AC adapter and running it on battery power for the first time.
NOTE: When you first connect the eo a7400 into an external power source, the battery charge indicator(s)
will begin to glow orange. When the battery is fully charged the indicator(s) will turn green. See the
section later in this guide and in the User’s Guide entitled Battery Care for tips on maximizing battery life
and performance.
Plug the power cord into the AC adapter brick
and then into a wall outlet.
Step 3: Connect Any Applicable Peripherals and Networking Cables
If you would like to use any external peripherals 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 Ethernet
connection (RJ45), connect them now.
Step 4: Power on the eo a7400
Locate the three power switches on the top of the tablet. The
switch is the computer’s main
power toggle. Slide and hold it until it emits a blue glow (about 5 seconds) and then release it.
The eo a7400 will now boot up.
Locate the system Power switch on the top of
the tablet.
Slide and hold it for about five (5) seconds
until it glows blue and the system powers up.
Step 5: Complete the Operating System Installation
When your system powers on for the first time, you may be prompted to enter your Windows
product key to complete set-up. The key can be found on the C.O.A. sticker located on the back
of the system underneath the battery pack in the battery bay. As the battery is hot swappable,
you can safely remove it to access the product key while the tablet is powered on as long as the
internal battery has some charge. You will then be asked to agree to Microsoft's licensing terms.
Windows will start its configuration and
optimization routine and may restart. This
is normal. Windows will then ask you a few
questions in order to localize and finish
your installation. Refer to your operating
system’s manual for information on any of
the questions you are unsure how to answer.
When done, your system will complete the
first time set-up and you will be taken to the
Windows desktop.
Step 6: Navigating the Operating System's GUI on a Tablet PC
Unlike a standard laptop or desktop PC, navigating the operating system’s graphical user interface (GUI) on a Tablet PC is performed using a stylus pen or your fingers.
Touch Screen: Navigating with a touch screen is different from navigating with a mouse. Instead
of sliding your fingers around the screen to move the pointer (as you would with a mouse or
track pad), simply tap on what you want to interact with. Remember, the pad of your finger is
lower than its tip, so aim for objects with the middle of your fingernail, not the end.
Sliding your finger while touching 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 a drag operation. Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to the touch, resting
your hand on it while working might make the pointer react unpredictably.
Active Digitizer (pen): When using a digitizer, you may only navigate using the pen. On a dual
mode eo a7400 Tablet PC, the screen will intelligently sense the tip of the stylus pen when it
draws near and automatically switch on the digitizer. Now the pen's tip doesn’t even need to
touch the screen to activate and move the pointer.
Hold the stylus pen as you would a standard ink pen. Simply place the tip of the stylus just
above the screen and move it around. The pointer should follow it as if you were using a mouse.
In this mode your hand may rest on the screen, since this will not affect the behavior of the
pointer. Like a touch screen, when you want to select or interact with an object, simply tap on it.
Keep the stylus tip on the screen while moving it around in order to perform a drag operation.
TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with the stylus pen, pay attention to the
position of the pointer icon on the screen instead of the tip of the pen. By default, the pointer is diamond
shaped in Windows 7 when using a touch screen or digitizer unless you plug-in and use a mouse, then it
will switch to the standard arrow pointer.
Whether using either a touch screen or an active digitizer, tapping lightly on the screen will
perform a standard left mouse button click. Tapping twice in rapid succession will perform a
double-click. Pressing the tip of the stylus or your finger against the screen without moving it for
about a second or so will perform a standard right mouse button click.
NOTE: When pressing and holding to perform a right-click, keep your finger or stylus tip pressed to the
screen until you see a circle draw around where you are pressing before you release.
Inputting Data: You can use the Tablet PC Input Panel in Windows 7 to enter information
via the On-Screen Keyboard or Writing Pad. You’ll find the edge of the Tablet PC Input Panel
docked on the left-hand side of your screen. When in digitizer mode, hovering the pointer over
the panel will cause it to slide outward a bit making it easier to access. Tap on it once to activate
the panel and slide it to the center of your desktop. When finished, tap the “close” icon in the
upper right corner of the panel to re-dock it.
