INSERTING/REMOVING YOUR DEVICE

To insert your tablet into the Rugged Book, open the case
at a 90˚ angle to the keyboard. First, separate the keyboard
and case by doing the following. With one hand, grasp the
keyboard at the top right or top left corner. With your other
hand, grasp the corresponding top right or top left corner of
the case and pull directly upwards. This will disengage the
magnets and separate the case and keyboard. Note: Do not
try to pull from the center of the case or the keyboard. This may
put stress on the hinge.

Next, align the camera and the charging port with the
corresponding holes in the case. Set the bottom half of the
device into the cover and apply light pressure. Then snap
the top half of your device into the cover. Check all corners
to make sure they have seated properly.

To connect the case and keyboard, place the case into the
magnetic cradle hinge.

To easily remove your device from the case, separate the
case from the keyboard, and then gently roll the rubber
overmold away from the edges while pressing on the device
from behind. Grasp your device’s exposed side and lift/pull
it away from the Rugged Case.

POWERING ON AND OFF

To turn your Rugged Book on, press the Power button. A
green LED on the battery key will illuminate briefly while the
keyboard powers up. To turn your Rugged Book off, press and
hold the Power button for three seconds. A red LED will flash,
indicating your Rugged Book has turned off.
