Preparing the Tablet for First Use
The following sections explain how to insert a SIM card and power up the tablet.
Inserting a SIM Card
CAUTION: Before you can connect to a mobile broadband network, you must have an active account with
a cellular network provider, and a SIM card in your tablet for mobile broadband access. This SIM card
works like the SIM card in your cell phone that connects you to a network provider.
The SIM card holder accommodates two Nano SIM (4FF) cards, for use with the mobile broadband option.
If inserting only one SIM card, place it in the holder labeled SIM1. If inserting two SIM cards, put the card
for the primary carrier in SIM1 and the card for the secondary carrier in SIM2.
1. Turn off the tablet.
2. If you have already put the battery in the tablet, remove it.
The SIM card(s) fit into a tray in the battery bay.
3. Find and gently remove the SIM holder tray so the slot is empty.
4. Place the SIM card into the holder so that it is close to flush with the holder. Make sure that the SIM
contacts (gold) are facing down and the notched corner is on the right side as shown in this drawing
and in the graphic inside the battery bay of the tablet.
5. Carefully align the SIM holder with the opening of the SIM holder connector. Gently slide the SIM holder
tray into the connector until it stops.

Install the battery in the tablet. See Replacing the Battery on page 27.

Powering Up the Tablet
This section explains installing the battery, connecting the tablet to external power, and powering up the
tablet.
1. If you have not yet inserted the battery, remove it from the packaging. On the back of the tablet, insert
the bottom of the battery into the bay. Tilt the tray as shown and press it down until it clicks securely into
place.
2. The external power has two parts: the part that plugs into the power source and the adapter with a cord
that plugs into your tablet. Join the two parts by plugging the power cord into the adapter to form one
long cord.
Getting Started
To connect external power to the tablet, open the port door to expose the power adapter port. Plug the AC
adapter into this port on your tablet.

1. Plug the power cord into an outlet.
The battery charging indicator on the front of the L10 tablet blinks amber to indicate that the battery is
charging. It is solid green when fully charged.
2. Press and release the oval Power button in the center of the right side of the tablet to turn it on.

3. Keep the tablet on AC power until the battery is fully charged. However, you don’t have to wait until the
tablet is fully charged to turn it on. The L10 will charge while you use it.

Pens for the L10 Tablets
All L10 tablets support touch input with your finger. In addition, a pen or stylus is provided with your tablet,
and is compatible with the screen configuration that you order. Many people use a pen for more
convenience or precision. The pen is particularly effective for precise data entry and navigation.
The XSLATE and XBOOK tablets come with short pens that fit into the pen holder on these devices. The
XPAD tablet includes a longer, thicker pen. If you want a longer pen for the XSLATE or XBOOK tablet, a
handle accessory can be ordered with the longer pen.
Capacitive Pens
Capacitive pens work with the tablet’s touchscreen and are sometimes called passive pens. The short
capacitive pen does not need a battery. The long capacitive pen uses a AAAA battery. These two pens do
not require a pen digitizer in the tablet. They work with the tablet’s touchscreen directly.

Active Digitizer Pens
If the tablet is ordered with an active Wacom digitizer built in to the screen, you will receive one of the two
pens pictured below. These Wacom-compatible pens allow for a large range of pressure sensitivity, tilt
detection, and hover capability. Hover lets you see where the pen is pointing before the tip touches the
display. These pens are frequently called active pens. These active pens use all three modes of the touch
screen:
• Finger and Wet
• Finger and Glove
• Finger and Passive Stylus (default)

Optional Setup Tasks
Attaching the Pen Tether
The pen comes with a tether so that you can attach it to your tablet to avoid misplacing it.
1. Slip one end of the tether through the hole at the end of the pen, and pull the pen through the loop until
it is tight.
2. Slip the other end of the tether through the attach point on the tablet, then pull the pen through the loop
until it is tight.
Connecting the Tablet to an External Monitor
There is no dedicated port for an external monitor on the L10 tablet. The tablet has a USB Type-C
connector which includes a DisplayPort output capability. You need a dongle that supports USB Type-C
DisplayPort and converts it to the port necessary to attach the external monitor, which can have one or
more of the following ports: HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, or VGA.
For instance, to connect a monitor with an HDMI port to your tablet, you need a USB Type-C DisplayPort to
HDMI output dongle.
NOTE: Some dongles use USB to Video conversion and these use software to enable the external display
over USB interface. Care must be taken to ensure the USB Type-C dongle specifically supports USB
Type-C DisplayPort input. Look for a dongle that states it is plug-n-play and that no software or drivers are
required.
Back of Battery Charge Indicators
You can check the charge of a battery when it is out of the tablet by pressing the battery check button on
the back side.
IMPORTANT: If you remove the battery while the tablet is running, you only have one minute to replace it
to keep the tablet running. If you need to remove it for a longer period, be sure to save your files. Then shut
down or plug in to a power source.
25
Getting Started
If you have a battery out of the tablet, you can check the charge by looking at the back side and pressing
the button to the left of the lights to view the charge level.

The five lights on the back of the battery indicate the current level of charge—from one light (20% charged)
to five lights (100% charged).
Removing and Replacing the Battery
Before removing the battery, save your files and power off the tablet, or plug in the AC adapter and
continue working while the battery charges. However, if you are hot swapping the battery, you can do so
while the tablet is on and running only on battery power. See Hot Swapping the Battery on page 27.
Removing the Battery
To remove the battery:
1. Save files and shut down the tablet.
2. With the back of the tablet facing you, slide the battery latch to the left until the latch stays open and the
battery pops out slightly. A red is displayed instead of the green dot.

2. Press the battery down until it snaps into place.
Hot Swapping the Battery
Replacing a battery while the tablet is on is called hot swapping. You can hot swap a battery only if you
have a second, charged battery to replace it with.
IMPORTANT: You have approximately one minute to hot swap the battery. If you have not replaced the
battery within one minute, the tablet goes into Sleep mode.
1. Remove the battery.
2. Insert the new battery.
While hot swapping the battery, notice the following behaviors:
• The tablet display gets dimmer. When the charged battery is in the tablet, the display brightens again.
• The battery status LED turns blue when the system is on and no main battery is present. When you put
a charged battery in the tablet, the LED lights turn green again.
• The power button is disabled. (The power button is disabled at any time the tablet has no battery and is
not running on AC power through the power adapter.)
