PrefaceiiiSafetyUse the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and the CT1100.• Do not attempt to service the CT1100 yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely.• Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapter's power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.• Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.• Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are approved for use with this CT1100. Use of another type of bat-tery or AC adapter may cause risk of fire or explosion.• If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the exten-sion cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.• When you move the CT1100 between environments with very different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the CT1100. To avoid damaging the CT1100, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the CT1100.• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any con-nector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.Battery Safety• Do not place the battery incorrectly as this may cause danger of explosion.• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local authorities for disposal instructions.
PrefaceivBattery Charge NoticeIt is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal room temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 0°C to 50°C. Charging bat-teries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.Storage and Safety NoticeAlthough charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between-20°C to 50°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges.

1Chapter 1Introducing the CT1100Thank you for purchasing the CT1100 Pen Tablet. The durable CT1100 is made for heavy duty use in industrial applications. The high per-formance processor incorpo-rates an additionally graphic controller to provide speed and efficiency in the field, while using minimal power to extend battery life. The CT1100 I/O ports provide ample connectivity, with two USB ports, an RS-232 serial port, a VGA port, microphone and headphone jacks, PCMCIA and SD slot, and an RJ-45 jack for LAN. The CT1100 supports 802.11b/g WLAN. The CT1100 uses the Windows CE 5.0 operating system. Five pro-grammable function buttons and a navigation pad make it easy to inter-act with the operating system, and a software keyboard enables users to enter and edit text. To reduce TCO and enhance industrial applications, the CT1100 is sealed to meet IP53 standards and has undergone multiple 3-foot drop tests to prevent downtime.
