OPENING THE STAND
Mercury 12 incorporate an aluminum stand which holds the tablet.
There is a handle on the stand to carry the unit. To open the stand pull
the base plate and the top plate apart on the side opposite the handle as
shown below. This will unveil the tablet screen. The tablet screen can
then be angled at a comfortable angle.
POWER ON/OFF
The power button is located on the bottom left of the tablet and is
smaller than the volume button located above it.
Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds to start the unit. After about
30 seconds the unit should boot up. If the unit doesn't start, the likely
cause is the battery is not charged. To charge the battery, plug in the
power adapter to an electrical outlet and use the provided USB cable to
connect the device to the charger as shown below. The charging cable
must be plugged into the orange USB port on the tablet (On the right
side when the tablet is on the stand). The cable will not fit into the other
USB port on the device. Do not attempt to force the cable into that port.
After charging for 30 minutes the unit should have sufficient power to
start. However, to fully charge the unit it will take 3-4 hours.
QUICK ON/OFF
To enable quick on/off functionality, the unit can go into "Sleep" mode.
The unit can wake up instantly from sleep mode in 2 seconds. However,
Sleep mode uses a small amount of battery as the unit is not completely
turned off. After about 2 weeks in sleep mode, the battery will drain out
and will need recharging even if you don't use the unit. To put the unit to
sleep, tap the Power button quickly (Don't hold it down). To wake it up,
tap the power button again.
USE AS A WINDOWS MACHINE
The unit is a full fledged Windows machine and can be used as such. All
Windows applications will run normally and the machine can be used as
your laptop. Remove the tablet from the stand by flipping the metal
bracket on the top plate of the stand. The tablet can then be removed
safely and attached to the magnetic keyboard (included). A hinge on the
back of the tablet allows a plate to come out of the body and hold the
screen upright at an angle of your choice.
