1
the ViewPad 1000. See page 7 for the Back View.
Plug the other end of the line into an analog phone wall outlet.

Warning: The internal modem is intended for use on an analog phone line, also
called a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line. This modem cannot be
connected directly to a digital telephone line such as those commonly found in a
business office. You can obtain an analog converter compatible with your digital
phone line.

802.11b Wi-Fi Lan Adapter
Your new ViewPad 1000 comes with a built-in 802.11b Wireless LAN adapter

point. Consult your network administrator for instructions on connecting your
wireless 802.11b adapter to the network.

Battery Power and Management
Before using the ViewPad 1000 Tablet PC for the first time, charge the
battery for at least 6 hours. Make sure the battery is fully charged before
using.
The TFT display, central processor, and hard disk drive are the major power
consumers. An understanding of power management can help you work longer
sessions before having to recharge the battery.
The Lithium-Ion Battery
Your ViewPad 1000 uses a removable nine-cell Lithium-Ion battery pack that
provides power when you don’t have access to an AC outlet. The Battery LED
indicator will come on when the ViewPad 1000 is operated on battery power.
Handling Tips
• Do not touch the metal ends of the battery connector.
• Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0
degree Celsius) or above 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius).
Doing so may adversely affect the battery pack.
Charging the Battery and Charging Time
With the battery pack inserted into the ViewPad 1000, plug the AC adapter into
the ViewPad 1000 and into an electrical outlet. The charging time is
approximately two hours when the ViewPad 1000 is turned off.
If the ViewPad 1000 is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will still charge
with the ViewPad 1000 in operation. Charging an empty battery pack with the
device On requires six hours rather than two hours to fully charge. When the
battery is fully charged, the battery charge indicator turns off.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to reserve adequate charge time before travelling.
Checking the Battery Level
You can check the remaining battery power in the Windows® battery status

Prolonging the Battery’s Life and Usage Cycles
There are ways to prolong the useful life of the battery.
• Store the battery pack at room temperature. Higher temperatures tend to
deplete battery power at a faster rate.
• Make good use of the power management function. Save To Disk saves the
most energy by storing current system contents in a hard disk space reserved
for this function.
• Disable the parallel and serial ports if no devices are attached.
• Eject any PC Card from the card slot when not in use. Even when an
inserted PC Card is not in operation, it still draws a small amount of power.
Battery Warning
Low Battery Warning
The Low Battery condition occurs when battery power falls to 6%. At this point,
the green power LED indicator will blink and the system will beep once every
16 seconds.
Very Low Battery Warning
The Very Low Battery condition occurs at 3% power. The power LED indicator
will blink and the system will beep at 4-second intervals.
When the ViewPad 1000 warns of its low battery condition, you will have about
5-10 minutes to save your current work.
Note: In the Standby suspend mode, a fully charged battery loses its power in
roughly 1/2 - 1 day. When kept in storage, the battery’s power will deplete in
1 - 2 months.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
To Install the Battery Pack
Place the ViewPad 1000 bottom-side up on a secure flat surface.
1
Lower the right side of the battery pack into the battery compartment leaving
2
a quarter inch gap on the right side. Notice the power pins on the left side of
the compartment. As you lower the left side of the battery pack into the
compartment, be careful not to set the battery pack on the power pins.
With the battery pack lying flat and the power pins aligned with their
3
corresponding ports in the battery pack, carefully slide the battery pack
to the right until it clicks, or locks, into place.

Upgrading the Memory in Your
ViewPad 1000
Upgrading the System Memory
Many applications will run faster when the system’s memory capacity is
increased. The ViewPad 1000 provides two expansion sockets located on the
back side of the system. One slot is already pre-installed with 128 MB of
memory. You can increase memory by adding a Small Outline Dual In-line
Memory Module, commonly known as a SODIMM. Module capacity can be
16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB or 256 MB.
Note: Your ViewPad 1000 has been tested with a wide range of memory
products on the market. However, not all memory modules are compatible. Go
to www.ViewSonic.com for a list of compatible ViewPad 1000 modules.
Installing a New Memory Module
Upgrading the ViewPad 1000 memory is a delicate process. Please observe the
following instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install memory for
you. Damages due to mishandling during this procedure are NOT covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Warning:
• Changing memory while your computer is in suspend mode or in powersaving mode may cause permanent damage to the ViewPad 1000. Make sure
you turn off the power and unplug the AC cord before proceeding with a
memory upgrade.
• Do not touch a memory module’s metallic contact edge to avoid possible
damage from an electrostatic discharge.
To Install a New Module:
1
Power OFF the ViewPad 1000. Unplug the AC cord and all cables/devices
attached to the system.
2
Place your hand on a large metal object momentarily to discharge any static
electricity.

Power, Start, and Battery Problems
Power Down on Startup
The ViewPad 1000 powers down as soon as it is powered on:
Battery power may be extremely low. The circuitry prevents a complete power
drain, which is not intended for Lithium Ion batteries. Use the power adapter to
charge it for several hours before trying again.
Diminishing Battery Life
The battery life gets shorter and shorter:
• The battery has a finite life of about 500 charge cycles. If your battery is
over one or two years old, it may be time to have it replaced.
• Try a higher power saving setting in the BIOS or in Windows
Management.
