4.9 Replacing Hot Swappable Battery
The tablet computer supports hot-swapping of batteries, meaning the tablet doesn’t need to be
powered off in order to replace the main battery. To support such mechanism, there is a
backup battery inside the tablet that is charged up with the main battery. This backup battery
cannot be removed and needs to have adequate power for hot swapping of main battery to be
done without issue. When the backup battery is fully charged, it can sustain up to 5 minutes of
runtime to allow for battery hot-swapping.
Perform the following to hot swap the batteries:
1. While the tablet is powered on, go to the Win-Set application to check on the power
level of the Backup battery.
2. If the Backup battery level is at “Low”, please charge the tablet with AC Power until the
Backup battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, and do not remove the main battery.
3. If the Backup battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, continue to remove the main battery.
4. Insert a new charged up removable battery into the battery compartment.
5. Go to the Win-Set application to check if the Main battery level can be correctly read. If
not, check if the new removable battery is inserted properly.
6. If Main battery level can be read, continue to use the tablet computer.
Caution/ Attention
To keep battery health and prevent possible issues from battery over-discharged, please
charge the tablet built-in back-up battery once for every 2 months.
Pour préserver la santé de la batterie et éviter les problèmes de batterie déchargée,
veuillez recharger la batterie de sauvegarde intégrée de la tablette une fois tous les 2 mois.

5.1 Screen Resolution Scaling and Setting
The M101BK has a high resolution 1280 x 800 display which is perfect for viewing image, video, or other
applications, however, Windows user interface (icons, buttons, and other user interface elements) may be
too small to read and operate at the default Windows settings.
By changing the display scaling or the display resolution setting of the device, you can adjust the size of the
text and other items on the desktop for optimal viewing. Display scaling is the recommended method
because it has the effect of adjusting user interface element without having to move away from the optimal
resolution setting at 1280 x 800. This section will explain how you can adjust the built-in windows display
scaling setting and resolution setting.
Note:
The Tablet computer is shipped with display scaling set at Larger - 150%. We
recommend the users set the scaling to this setting for optimal text and image viewing.
Before proceeding to change the scaling option, make sure any opened document is
saved and close, and all running applications are closed before proceeding to change
the display scaling, because this procedure requires users to log out of their account to
apply display scaling change.

resolution setting to make screen elements bigger.
1. Tap and hold anywhere on the desktop for 3 seconds and release to bring up the context menu, and
select “Display settings” option as shown below:
48
Chapter 5: Frequently Used Settings
48
2. Click on the dropdown option next to “Resolution” and select the desire resolution by tapping on
the scale:
3. Hit “Apply”. A prompt “Display Settings” prompt will show up to ask the user if the applied
resolution is usable.

the new resolution is not desirable, hit “Revert” and select a different resolution to change to, and
start again from step 2.
5. The user may now use the device with the new resolution setting.
