SECTION 2 LEARNING ABOUT YOUR ARMOR X7 PAGE 37 9711-26400-0001 EXPORT CONTROLLED – SEE PAGE 3 Rev A Cooling R egister ARMOR computers are designed to operate in wet and dirty environments under extreme temperatures. Because the tablet is sealed against contamination, it incorporates passive cooling which channels the internal heat to the cooling register at the back of the unit. The cooling register dissipates the heat to the atmosphere and normally feels only warm to the touch. However, under heavy use, the register can become hot to the touch and, as a safety and comfort measure, a plastic heat shield covers the register to prevent direct contact. The cooling register also acts as a cover for a sealed compartment which provides access to the wireless radio cards, a SIM card socket, a micro-SD socket and any optional or custom cards. B attery Bays Your X7 is shipped with two custom designed batteries that are installed in bays on either side of the X7, as shown in Figure 5. In addition to supplying power to the computer, the X7 batteries also act as the handles or grips for the computer. Figure 5. X7 Battery Bays Webcam Your X7 has a built-in 2 megapixel camera located on the back side of the unit (see Figure 6). The camera is equipped with an autofocus lens and can be used to capture still images or movies, or to scan barcodes. The camera saves still images in JPEG format at 1280x1024, 800x600 and 640x480 pixel resolutions. Movies are saved in Windows Media Video (.wmv) format.

SECTION 2 LEARNING ABOUT YOUR ARMOR X7 PAGE 39 9711-26400-0001 EXPORT CONTROLLED – SEE PAGE 3 Rev A Included Components, Accessories and S upport B atteries Your X7 batteries are high efficiency lithium-ion batteries that are “hot swappable.” That is, if you have two batteries installed, you can replace one battery while the computer operates on the other battery. With this capability, you do not have to shut down the computer or interrupt your current operating session in order to replace a battery. The batteries come in two different capacities: 2950 mAh (standard) and 5900 mAh (high-capacity). B attery Des cription Figure 8 shows a single X7 battery. Each battery has three locking slots that fit into three corresponding hooks on the battery latch. A multi-LED battery charge indicator, or “fuel gauge” is located next to the fuel gauge button. The fuel gauge consists of 5 LEDs and each LED represents approximately 20% of the total charge of the battery as follows: LED #5 - 80-100% On steady LED #4 - 60-79% On steady LED #3 - 40-59% On steady LED #2 - 21-40% On steady LED #1 - 00-10% Flashing (far left LED) Ac tivating the Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge indicators are not visible when the battery is installed in the computer.

These batteries are self-calibrating and self-regulating. Should a problem occur, even a short circuit, the X7 battery will disconnect itself from the computer to prevent any damage. Since the batteries are literally the handles for the X7, you can keep a defective battery in place until you obtain a replacement. S tandard B atteries vs . High-Capacity Batteries Depending on your purchase, your X7 came with either two standard batteries or two high-capacity batteries. A single standard battery has a capacity of 2950 milli-ampere hours (mAh) and a high-capacity battery has a capacity of 5900 mAh. Table 33 lists the charging times and Table 35 lists the operating times for both battery types. Active P en with T ether The active pen (P/N 0000F50872-0000) that comes with your X7 (Figure 9) has circuitry in the tip that interacts with the digitizer assembly built into the tablet display. The digitizer detects the pen tip close to the screen and activates certain functions like steering the pointer or performing a right click action if the pen is allowed to hover for a few seconds. The pen also has a side button that can be programmed for a number of different functions (refer to the Pen Tablet Properties Utility). Its default function is Right-Click. The pen is stored in the tablet’s carrying handle and is secured to the handle by a string tether. Figure 9. The ARMOR X7 Pen AC Adapter and Power Cord Included with your ARMOR X7 is a +19 VDC ± 5%, 2 amp AC power adapter, or “AC Adapter” (P/N 0000F50874-0000). This external DC power supply can be plugged in to any 100-240 VAC outlet and is used to recharge your computer’s batteries and provide power to the computer without draining the batteries. A North American AC power cord (P/N 0000F50076-0000) is standard, but a European power cord (0000F50076-0002) and a UK power cord (0000F50076-0001) are also available. SIDE BUTTON

SECTION 5 YOUR ARMOR X7 SOFTWARE PAGE 106 9711-26400-0001 EXPORT CONTROLLED – SEE PAGE 3 Rev A B acklight S etup Dialog Window The Backlight Setup dialog window allows you to adjust the screen brightness manually or automatically and to select from a series of preset profiles to automatically restrict the brightness range under specific lighting conditions. Figure 52. ARMORutils Backlight Setup Dialog Automatic B rightnes s Mode The Automatic brightness mode is initially activated by default. Automatic brightness adjustment is controlled by the ambient light sensor (ALS) located on the indicator panel on the front of your X7 tablet. The ALS monitors the surrounding (ambient) light level and automatically adjusts the backlight level to maintain the same relative screen brightness. For example, if you are working in an office near a window and someone opens the blinds, the surrounding light will suddenly increase. The ALS will measure the increase in light level and automatically increase your screen and indicator brightness to compensate. Unlike Manual mode, where you can vary the brightness across the full adjustment range, in Automatic mode, the total range of brightness adjustment is smaller and is determined by the selected Automatic Mode Profile.
SECTION 5 YOUR ARMOR X7 SOFTWARE PAGE 107 9711-26400-0001 EXPORT CONTROLLED – SEE PAGE 3 Rev A Automatic Brightness Mode Profiles Everyone’s eyes react differently to changes in light levels and there may be times when a particular range of automatic brightness adjustment is uncomfortable for you. You can tailor the automatic brightness adjustment by selecting one of the 5 pre-configured brightness profiles: Dark, Office, Dusk, Daylight, and Sunlight. These profiles control the range of brightness levels to values based on typical surroundings or times of day. For example, if you typically work in an office environment but the automatic brightness doesn’t make the display bright enough for you, you can select the Dusk, Daylight or Sunlight profile to increase the brightness range proportionally. Similarly, if the normal brightness control results in displays that are too bright, you can select the Office or Dark profile to reduce the brightness range. When you first start ARMORutils, the system defaults to the Office profile. Once you select a different profile, the tablet will continue to use that profile until you select another. Manual B rightnes s Mode Click on the Manual button to activate the automatic brightness control mode. To manually adjust screen brightness, click repeatedly on the UP or DOWN buttons in the Manual Brightness Setting panel or drag the slider. The current brightness level is displayed as a percentage in the window to the right of the UP button. You can also adjust the brightness by clicking on the up and down arrows next to the percentage readout. The manual controls change the brightness from 0% to 100% of the total available adjustment range for Manual mode. At the 0% point, the brightness low but the screen is not totally dark. Switching B etween Brightnes s Modes If you are in Manual mode and you click on one of the automatic profile settings, the brightness mode will switch to Automatic mode. Conversely, if you are in Automatic mode and click on the Manual mode UP or DOWN button, or one of the up/down arrows, the brightness mode will switch to Manual mode. Light Sensor B ar The Light Sensor bar provides a visual indication that the ALS circuit is functioning correctly. Screen brightness changes in response to the changing ambient light level will occur gradually to allow your eyes to adjust and may not be readily apparent, but the Light Sensor bar gives an immediate indication that the ALS is controlling the screen brightness. The Light Sensor bar will continue to operate even when the backlight mode is set to Manual.
