Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make
connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic
components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag
when they are not in the chassis.

CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED
This chapter guides you to get the Rugged Tablet PC ready for operating.
1.1 Connecting the AC Power
Our tablet PC can operate either on the external AC power adapter or internal
battery power. It is suggested that you use AC power when you start up the
tablet PC first time.
**Caution
Use only the AC adapter included with your tablet PC. Using other AC adapters
may damage the tablet PC.
1. Make sure that the tablet PC is turned off.
2. Place the tablet PC upside down.
3. Put Battery Pack into the battery slot and screw tightly with four screws.
4. Plug the DC cord of the AC adapter to the power connector of the tablet PC.
5. Plug the female end of the AC power cord to the AC adapter and the male end to
the power electrical outlet.
6. Turn on the Tablet PC few seconds later after power is being supplied from the
electrical outlet to the AC adapter.
7. When the AC adapter is connected, the Battery Pack is also under charging. You
can check the Battery Status LED indicator to see the currently progress. The
indicator turns to green when is fully charged.
(For information on using battery power, see “Chapter 3 The Power Management”)
**Caution
When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first
and then from the tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter
or the tablet PC.
When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the
cord.

1.3 The Optimized Use for Sunlight Readable Touchscreen.
With the imposed reflective function, the modified LCD can reflect the ambient light
passing the LCD cell and utilize the reflected light beams as its illumination. The
stronger the ambient light is, the brighter the LCD will appear. As a result, the modified
LCD is viewable under lighting conditions. The optimized angle of view is fourty-five
degree. And the optimized distance of view is 30cm.
**Caution
Although transflective LCD is mainly used in outdoor environment and it may
increase the reflective lights under sunlight, it is suggested that you should keep
the LCD in appropriate temperature for operation and storage, and avoid direct
sunlight if possible. To ensure the transflective LCD work stably, 0~50°C
(32-121°F) operation and storage temperature is suitable.

CHAPTER 3 TABLET PC POWER MANAGEMENT
3.1 About AC Adapter
Our Tablet PC support one set of AC adapter and power code by country area.
Please confirm with your dealer for appropriate power code if necessary.
**Caution
1. When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical
outlet first and then from the tablet PC. A reverse procedure may
damage the AC adapter or tablet PC.
2. Always hold the plug head when you unplug the connector, Never pull on
the cord.
3. The AC adapter is designed for use with your tablet PC only. Connecting
the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.
The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC. The AC
adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct
Current) power because the tablet PC runs on DC power input, but an
electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack
when connected to AC power.
Page 57
Rugged Computing
Users Manual Rugged Table PCs

3.2 Charging and Checking Charging Status
3.2.1 Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the tablet PC. It is
rechargeable using the AC adapter. The operating time of a fully charged
battery pack depends on how you are using the tablet PC. When your
applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating
time.
NOTE:
1. Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0 °°°°C (32 °°°°F).
It is also recommended not to charge the battery when temperature is
above 45 °°°°C (113 °°°°F)
2. To prevent damage, the charging process may stop and the Battery
Charge Indicator flashes red when the environmental temperature gets
above 55 °°°°C (131°°°°F)
3. The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge
process (0.21 % per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged
(100 %). This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the
tablet PC.
Page 58
Rugged Computing
Users Manual Rugged Table PCs
58
3.2.2 Charging Approaches
There are two ways recommended to charge the battery pack.
1. By connecting the AC adapter to the tablet PC and an electrical outlet. The
Battery Charge Indicator on the tablet PC glowed orange to indicate that
charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the tablet PC power off
while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the
Battery Charge Indicator glows green.
2. By using Multi-functional Docking Station charger, connect power code to
the electrical outlet and power connector to the Docking Station. Put
battery pack on rear side of charger slot. When the battery is fully charged,
the Battery Charge Indicator glows green.
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the Li-Ion battery pack at a
room temperature of 25 °°°°C (may need a longer charging time at lower
temperatures).
CAUTION:
1. After the tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately
disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. The
above-mentioned may damage the battery.
2. During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery
