9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 2 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ARMOR X10GX Page 27 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer The X10gx display is a high-brightness, high-contrast LCD display with anti-glare filtering that ensures your screen can be clearly viewed even in bright sunlight. A replaceable screen protector is attached at the factory to reduce glare and protect the touch screen surface. Dis play The X10gx comes equipped with a dual display that has both an active pen (digitizer) screen and a touch screen as standard; an optional pen-only version is also available. The pen digitizer screen permits precise data entry and accurate handwriting conversion while the touch screen provides quick and accurate operation using just a fingertip. A passive stylus (not supplied) will provide even more precision with the touch screen. If you have the standard display, you can choose to operate with both screens (Dual Mode) or with only one screen (Touch Only or Pen Only). Both screens have the same clear, crisp viewing quality in any lighting situation. In Dual Mode, the touch screen is normally enabled and the pen screen is disabled. When the active pen is detected within about ¼ inch of the screen, the touch screen is disabled and the pen screen is enabled. When the active pen is moved away from the screen, the pen screen is disabled and the touch screen is enabled. Switching between the two screens is automatic and instantaneous. There are 6 buttons and a fingerprint sensor located on the control panel on the right side of the X10gx display, as shown in Controls Figure 2. Figure 2.

Refer to the Programmable Buttons (PBs ) P1, P2, P3 Buttons Setup Dialog for information on how to program available options. These buttons are also used to manually activate the battery fuel gauges (see Manually Activating the Fuel Gauges). NOTE: The PB functions are only available while ARMORutils is running. Each programmable button has a built-in LED that varies in intensity with the screen brightness. The fingerprint sensor is used with security software to allow you to log into your account on this computer or secure your access to specific applications and online websites. Refer to Fingerprint Sensor (FPS) TrueSuite™ Fingerprint Recognition Software for instructions on how to setup and use the FPS. This button is used with PBs P1, P2 and P3 (button “combos”) to activate three additional functions. Press and release the Fn button and then press and release P1, P2 or P3 to activate the combo function. Refer to Fn (Function) Button Buttons Setup Dialog for information on how to program available functions for each button and button combo. The Fn button has a built-in LED that lights for approximately 5 seconds when the button is pressed. Pressing this button invokes the CTRL-ALT-DEL command, which opens a menu on the desktop. From this menu, you have the following options: Windows Security Key Button • Lock this computer • Switch User • Log off • Change password • Start Task Manager The Windows security key button is also known as the Security Attention Sequence (SAS) button and the OEM Button. The Power button is primarily used to turn the computer on, but it also performs other functions when the computer is running and when the computer is in sleep or hibernate mode. Power Button Table 1 lists the default actions of the power button when you first receive your X10gx. NOTE: To turn the computer off, refer to the instructions in Turning the Computer Off Normally and Emergency Shutdown.

9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 2 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ARMOR X10GX Page 30 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer There are six LED status indicators located on the indicator panel at the upper right of the X10gx display as shown in Indicator Panel Figure 3 (NOTE: The seventh object to the far right of the panel is the ambient light sensor (ALS), not an LED). The functions of these indicators and the function of the ALS are described below (see Indicator State Summary for a complete description of each indicator state). Figure 3. Indicator Panel A blue LED that indicates when the WI-FI radio is connected to a network WI-FI Indicator A blue LED that indicates when the GPS module is powered on and enabled.

9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 2 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ARMOR X10GX Page 31 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer When the X10gx display is in automatic brightness mode, the ALS senses changes in surrounding light levels and adjusts the display brightness accordingly. If the ambient light level increases, the display brightness will increase proportionally; if the light level decreases, the display brightness will decrease proportionally. Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) The X10gx has two sealed internal speakers located under the antenna covers at the top of the computer (see Speakers Figure 1). The speakers broadcast audible alerts generated by the operating system and application software and can be used to play back music or video sound tracks, although at a considerably reduced sound quality. If a headset or external speakers are plugged into the right-side panel audio jack (Figure 9), the internal speakers are disabled. The sound quality through a pair of headset speakers or external speakers meets the Microsoft Windows 7 requirements for a PC audio system. The X10gx is equipped with two sets of noise-cancelling microphones (see Microphones Figure 1). These microphones support simultaneous analog and 4-channel digital recording. They are activated in pairs depending on the orientation of the screen. In the landscape (default) position, the tablet is oriented with the long axes of the screen horizontal and the short axes vertical. In this position, the two active microphones will be at the top or bottom of the long axis. If you rotate the screen to the portrait mode, the active pair on the short axis will be active.

These compartments are sealed against moisture and dirt and provide quick and easy access for battery replacement. A battery “fuel” gauge (LED array) is provided for each battery to indicate the current charge level. Figure 5. Battery Fuel Gauge Indicators Each fuel gauge array consists of 5 LEDs and each LED represents approximately 20% of the total charge of the battery as follows: Fuel Gauge LEDs LED #5 81-100% #4 61-80% #3 41-60% #2 21-40% #1 01-20% The fuel gauge LEDs are active whenever power is applied to the tablet and the tablet is not in sleep or hibernation mode. The LEDs in each array turn on from left to right as the charge increases. When all five LEDs are on steady, the battery is fully charged. If a battery is not installed, the fuel gauge for that battery will be off. As the battery is used, the LEDs will turn off from right to left. If the battery charge drops below 10%, LEDs 2-5 will be off and LED #1 will flash. BATTERY #1 FUEL GAUGE BATTERY #2 FUEL GAUGE 1 2 3 4 5 BATTERY COMPARTMENT #1 BATTERY COMPARTMENT #2

If the surrounding light decreases, the brightness will decrease proportionally; if the surrounding light increases, the brightness will increase proportionally. Automatic Brightness Adjustment
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 3 GETTING STARTED Page 74 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer NOTE You must keep the ALS uncovered to allow proper automatic brightness adjustment. You can tailor the automatic brightness adjustment by selecting one of the 5 pre-configured brightness profiles. DRS has researched typical lighting environments and has created these adjustment profiles that respond more precisely to changing light levels within a particular environment. Selecting an Automatic Mode Profile For example, if the automatic brightness doesn’t keep the display bright enough for you under surrounding lighting conditions, you can select the Dusk, Daylight or Sunlight profile to increase the brightness range proportionally. Similarly, if the normal brightness control results in light levels that are consistently too bright, you can select the Office or Dark profile to reduce the brightness range. Click on the Manual button to change to manual brightness mode. You can manually adjust screen brightness in two ways: by using pre-programmed buttons (PBs) P1, P2 and P3 or by using options and buttons in the Backlight Setup dialog. Manual Brightness Adjustment When you first receive your X10gx, the P1 button is programmed to increase screen brightness in 10% steps, P2 is programmed to decrease brightness in 10% steps and P3 is programmed to toggle the display off and on. Using P1, P2 and P3 to Adjust Brightness Press and release P1 repeatedly to increase the brightness to its maximum level (100%); press P2 repeatedly to decrease the brightness to its minimum level (10%). Press P3 to turn the screen completely off; press it again to turn the screen back on to it’s previously set level. NOTE When handling the tablet, it is easy to accidentally hit the P3 button, which will turn off the display and it may appear that the tablet is in Sleep mode. Before pressing the Power button, check if the wireless indicators are active. If they are, your tablet is not asleep. Press the P3 button to restore the display. P1, P2 and P3 are initially programmed to adjust screen brightness; however, you can change each button’s programming as described in Buttons Setup Dialog. Drag the slider or press the UP or DOWN buttons repeatedly with the pen or a fingertip to move the slider and adjust the brightness level. The % brightness is displayed in a field on the right. You can also use the up and down arrows next to this field to adjust the slider. Using the Backlight Setup Dialog to Adjust Brightness

Figure 40. Input Panel with No Mode Showing (for illustration purposes only) Using the Input Panel, you can write notes in your own handwriting or enter data one character at a time with the digital pen or the stylus. The Input Panel has three modes for entering data: On-Screen Keyboard mode, Character Pad mode and Writing Pad mode. Each mode has a button on the left side of the panel. The Input Panel will always open in the last mode that was selected or used. Pressing the top mode button opens the Writing Pad (Writing Pad Figure 41) within the Input Panel. In this mode, you can enter text by using the stylus in your own handwriting, or “ink”. The Writing Pad is especially useful for tasks such as taking notes or adding text to an existing text file. As you write, the Input Panel expands to accommodate more text as needed. If you want to convert ink to text, the Input Panel does so dynamically. Figure 41. Writing Pad Mode Pressing the middle button opens the Character Pad (Character Pad Figure 42). The character pad can also convert your ink to text so that it can be inserted into a program, but this mode is used to enter one letter at a time using the stylus. The Character Pad is particularly useful when you need high accuracy—for example, when you’re entering an email address or a URL. The characters that you enter into the character pad are immediately converted to text, so you can spot errors immediately. Figure 42. Character Pad Mode Mode Buttons Configuration Options and Help

YOUR ARMOR X10GX SOFTWARE Your ARMOR X10gx comes with a variety of software applications. Many of these are standard with your particular operating system, some are necessary to configure and operate your system, some are required for specific devices or functions and some are complementary applications provided by DRS to enhance your X10gx experience. The following paragraphs provide an overview of the key programs and utilities necessary to configure and operate your X10gx computer. Some of these applications are required for specific devices or functions and some are complementary applications provided by DRS to enhance your X10gx experience. Many of these are standard with the Windows 7 operating system. NOTE A detailed description of each application’s settings and options (with the exception of the ARMORutils application provided by DRS) is beyond the scope of this manual. Please refer to the help resources provided with each software application or to the Windows Help resources. ARMORutils ™ Application The ARMORutils application is provided to help you configure and manage your X10gx computer. It contains settings and information about screen setup, wireless configuration, battery status and much more. The following descriptions are based on the Windows 7 operating system. NOTE The screen images in this section are used for reference only and may not reflect the actual configuration of your X10gx. Starting ARMORutils With Windows 7, ARMORutils starts automatically when you boot up your computer and places an icon in the system application (systray) area located in the lower right corner of the task bar (see Figure 61). An icon is also provided on the desktop and ARMORutils appears in the Windows Start menu All Programs list so you can restart ARMORutils should you exit it for any reason.

Figure 63. ARMORutils Backlight Setup Dialog Automatic Brightness 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 X10gx 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 a much larger adjustment range, in Automatic mode, the total range of brightness adjustment is smaller and is determined by the selected Automatic Mode Profile.
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 5 YOUR ARMOR X10GX SOFTWARE Page 115 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer Automatic Brightness Mode Profiles Everyone’s eyes react differently to changes in light levels and there may be times when the full 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 Brightness Mode Click on the Manual button to activate the manual 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 is low but the screen is not totally dark. Switching Between Brightness 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 Bar 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 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.

ARMORutils Wireless Setup Dialog Radios ON/OFF Toggle Button Click on the Radios ON/OFF Toggle button to turn off or turn on all radios currently enabled by the Radio ON/OFF buttons. This is particularly handy if you’re on a commercial aircraft and you want to continue working with the computer without interfering with the aircraft electronic systems. When you arrive at your destination, just click on the Radios ON/OFF button again to turn on your enabled radios.
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 5 YOUR ARMOR X10GX SOFTWARE Page 117 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer Radio ON/OFF Buttons There is an ON and Off button for each radio that is installed or supported. When you first start your ARMOR X10gx, all installed radios are ON or enabled (default condition). Each radio can then be disabled by pressing its OFF button and re-enabled by pressing its ON button. NOTE: Radios that are available but not installed appear here also and will not be grayed out. Dock RF Switch The Dock RF Sw button enables or disables the antenna configuration that is selected by the Dock RF Mux switch. The initial setting for the Dock RF Sw is “Enable”. If the button is set to “Disable”, the tablet will use its internal antennas. Dock Power Switch In earlier X10 series tablets, the 5 VDC power pins in the docking connector were always active to ensure power to the docking stations. This is not necessary with the new X10gx docking stations due to an automatic sensing circuit that turns off power to the docking connector whenever the X10gx is undocked. The initial setting for the Dock Power Sw is “Auto” to enable dock sensing. However, to use the X10gx with some ARMOR legacy docks, the Dock Power Sw must be set to “Always On” (refer to Setting the X10gx for Power Operation with Legacy Docks). Dock RF MUX Switch Your X10gx contains an RF multiplexer circuit that is configured by the Dock RF Mux switch. There are two RF coaxial docking connectors on the X10gx dock: one for an external WWAN antenna and one for an external GPS antenna (see ARMOR X10gx Vehicle Docks). Depending on how it is configured, the RF multiplexer will automatically switch your GPS and/or WWAN antennas to external antennas mounted on the vehicle whenever you dock the tablet. You can select GPS only, WWAN only, or Both antennas. If only one external antenna is selected, the other radio will operate on its internal antenna. The initial default setting for the Dock RF MUX is “Both”. Save Settings Button Regardless of how you configure your radios and the Dock RF Switch during your session, they will return to their default settings the next time you restart the computer unless you save your settings using the Save Settings button. Once you configure each radio and the RF switch to suit the way you normally use them (ON or OFF), you can press the Save Settings button to save the current configuration as your new default settings. NOTE If you exit ARMORutils completely or shut down your system with the Radios ON/OFF Toggle set to OFF, this will be saved as the default setting and the radios will all be off the next time you start your computer.

Setting the X10gx for Power Operation with Legacy Docks The 5V DC power required by an ARMOR docking station is supplied by the tablet through the docking connector. Unlike previous ARMOR tablets, the X10gx has circuitry that senses when the tablet is undocked and automatically switches off 5V power to the power pins in the tablet docking connector. The power is switched back on when the tablet is docked again. This power switching feature is controlled by the Dock Power Sw in the ARMORutils Wireless Setup dialog. WARNING! Do not set the Dock Power Sw in ARMORutils Wireless Setup Dialog to “Always On” if the X10gx will be used in a hazardous location (HAZLOC), regardless of the docking station used.

BATTERY MANAGEMENT The Lithium Ion batteries used in your ARMOR X10gx computer offer the best technology available today. These ‘Smart Batteries’ provide ARMOR X10gx users with the greatest power density and the most accurate “fuel gauge” possible. To achieve the best possible performance from your batteries, we recommend using and maintaining the batteries in accordance with the instructions provided in this section. Safety and Handling Considerations for your Batteries WARNING! Do not drop or mishandle the batteries, immerse them in water, or subject them to high heat. Doing so could increase the risk of explosion or leakage, and possibly cause injury. WARNING! The lithium-ion batteries used in this equipment contain material that is hazardous to your health. If battery contents come in contact with the eyes, IMMEDIATELY flush the affected area with clean water for 15 minutes and have someone else summon medical attention for you. Unaffected persons should assist the affected individual in the vital first flushing of the eyes. WARNING! If battery material comes in contact with the skin, flush the affected area with clean water and seek immediate medical treatment. NOTE Newer DRS batteries such as those included with your X10gx have greater capacity and functionality compared to older or legacy batteries. Legacy batteries can still be used in the ARMOR X10gx but their performance may be substantially reduced.
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 196 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer Please use the following safety rules when handling and using lithium-Ion batteries. • Do not expose the batteries to very high temperatures such as an open flame. • Do not short circuit the battery contacts or reverse their polarity. • Do not let children play with the batteries. • Do not crush, dent or allow any deformation of the batteries. • Do not disassemble or open the batteries or try to alter or bypass the internal safety circuits. • Avoid exposing the batteries to wet or extremely humid conditions. • Avoid exposing the batteries to electrostatic discharge. • Avoid dropping the batteries. • Do not use in, or connect the batteries to, any other devices. • Do not allow removed batteries to remain discharged for more than 1 week
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 197 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer When to Charge a Battery New Batteries Due to current regulations regarding shipment of lithium Ion batteries, your X10gx batteries are shipped to you in a partially charged condition, typically with a maximum charge of 30%-50%. DRS recommends that you fully charge your batteries before using them for the first time in your computer. If you do not plan to use your computer immediately, be aware that the batteries can discharge as much as 4% in 24 hours if left in the computer with the power turned off. For this reason, we recommend that computers with the batteries installed that will not be used for an extended period of time be connected to external power, either using the AC adapter provided with your computer or through a docking station using vehicle power. Currently Installed Batteries Your ARMOR X10gx will alert you when your batteries need charging. When the remaining charge drops below 10%, an alert message like the one shown in Figure 114 will pop up on the desktop. You should connect external power to recharge the batteries or replace them as soon as possible. To check the current charge level of your installed batteries, view each battery’s fuel gauge on the back of the tablet (refer to Fuel Gauge LEDs) or click on the battery icon in the systray. This will open a desktop battery window like the one shown in Figure 114. NOTE: the battery icon will change to a battery with plug icon when external power is connected). You can also select the Battery Monitor button on ARMORutils main page. This will open the Battery Monitor dialog window (Figure 70) where you can check the current status and the remaining charge of your batteries. Removed Batteries Removed batteries will continue to self-discharge even when disconnected from the computer. The lower the charge level, the sooner the battery will approach the fully depleted state. DRS recommends you recharge removed batteries as soon as possible. Depleted Batteries When an installed battery’s charge drops below 10%, a warning message, similar to the one in Figure 114 will appear on the desktop. At this point, the battery is in a “depleted” charge state (between 10% and 5%). When the total charge drops below 7%, another warning message (Figure 115) will be displayed advising you to connect external power immediately. If the total charge drops below 5%, the computer is programmed to automatically enter the hibernate state. Your Windows session will be saved to the SSD and the computer will shut down to conserve power. To avoid having your computer unexpectedly enter the hibernate mode, you should connect external power to recharge your batteries as soon as you see the low battery warning message, or replace them immediately with fresh batteries. You should also arrange to recharge any depleted batteries as soon as practical.
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 198 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer Depleted Batteries Left in the Computer Lithium ion batteries left in a computer with the power off will discharge at approximately 4% over a 24 hour period. Therefore, a depleted battery can become fully depleted or possibly overly discharged in about two days. Depleted Batteries Removed from the Computer A lithium battery that is not installed in the X10gx will self discharge at the rate of about 0.3% in a 24 hour period or about 3% every 10 days (faster in higher temperature conditions). A depleted battery that is removed is therefore in danger of becoming fully depleted, or possibly overly discharged, in about 30 days. Fully Depleted and Overly Discharged Batteries A lithium battery is considered fully depleted when its charge level falls below 3%. When a battery becomes fully depleted, the LEDs on the fuel gauge may not light but it is still possible to recover the battery if you recharge it immediately. If a fully depleted battery is not recharged soon enough (generally within 24 hours), it can enter an overly discharged state in which it may not respond to normal efforts to recharge it (see What to Do for an Overly Discharged Battery. Un-recoverable Batteries If the charge level is allowed to drop to around 0% and the battery is not soon recharged, a safety circuit inside the battery can activate and render the battery un-recoverable. To avoid this possibility, DRS recommends you recharge any battery that reaches the fully depleted state (<3% charge) as soon as possible. CAUTION! Batteries that are allowed to continue discharging after reaching the 3% charge level may become un-recoverable and have to be discarded. Avoiding Overly Discharging Your Batteries The following suggestions will help avoid an overly discharged condition. • Do not store the X10gx for long periods with the batteries installed without connecting external power. Even when the unit is powered off, the tablet still draws a small amount of power from the batteries. • Do not store X10gx batteries in a fully depleted condition for long periods of time. The X10gx batteries will further self-discharge over time at a rate of about 3% every 10 days or about 10% a month. For long-term storage, the batteries should be recharged to at least 40% of full charge every 3-4 months of storage.
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 199 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer What to Do for an Overly Dis charged Battery The X10gx has an internal Level 2 smart battery charger. One of the features of this charger is that it will attempt to recover a battery that has been too deeply discharged (<3%). This is done by applying a trickle current of 80 milliamps for about 3 minutes. This process normally injects enough energy into the battery to allow normal re-charging to begin. If the recovery process is successful, the 20% LED will begin flashing or be on steady. Allow the battery to charge normally. If the 20% LED fails to start flashing, perform the recovery procedure in Table 31. Table 31. Recover an Overly Discharged Battery. STEP ACTION 1. Remove the battery and wait 5 seconds. 2. Reinstall the battery and allow it to charge. 3. If the battery does not respond, repeat the above steps up to a maximum of five times. 4. If the battery still fails to start charging, it will have to be replaced.
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 200 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer How to Charge Your Batteries The X10gx batteries automatically begin charging when installed in the ARMOR Tablet and external power is applied. To recharge the batteries, plug the circular connector of the AC adapter into the DC power input jack on the left side of the ARMOR X10gx, or into the PWR connector on a desk dock unit. If your X10gx is installed in a vehicle dock, the batteries will charge whenever vehicle battery power is available. Don’t be alarmed if batteries feel warm to the touch during the charging process. Your X10gx batteries are protected from being overcharged by internal safety circuits. Charging Time The charging time for one or two depleted batteries (<10% charge) when the batteries are installed in the X10gx is 2.5-4 hours, depending on the following factors: • power demands on the system (screen brightness setting, wireless and GPS radio activity, utility and software applications currently running, etc.) • temperature extremes • number of batteries (1 or 2) • total remaining capacity of each battery • NOTE The charging cycle is not linear and the last 20% of charge can take proportionally longer to complete than the first 80% of charge time. Charging Temperatures DRS has included temperature sensors in the battery circuit to protect the cells when an excessively high or low temperature condition occurs. Your batteries will charge normally in the X10gx computer so long as the internal temperature remains above 0°C (32°F) and does not exceed 45°C (113°F). If the internal temperature moves outside these limits during charging, the computer will suspend the charging cycle until the temperature returns to a value within the normal temperature range. If the charging cycle is suspended due to temperature, the Charging/Fault indicator will flash at a ½-second rate. Setting the Charging Policy Follow the procedure in Table 32 to set the charging policy and decide if both batteries will charge at the same time regardless of charge level or the battery with the lowest charge will be charged first. Refer to Charger Settings Button for a description of this function.

When the batteries are fully charged, all five fuel gauge LEDs will be on steady and the Charging/Fault LED will be on steady. Battery Operating Time Your ARMOR X10gx can operate on one or two batteries and can operate with a single battery installed in either bay. The length of time your X10gx can operate on batteries alone before needing a recharge is primarily determined by the following: • screen brightness (backlight) setting • wireless and GPS radio activity • utility and software applications that are currently running • battery temperature extremes • number of batteries (1 or 2) • remaining battery capacity The total operating time for the ARMOR X10gx with two fully charged 2400 mAh batteries at a nominal room temperature is approximately 4 hours. For a single battery, the operating time is approximately 2.5 hours. Legacy batteries with lower capacity will have correspondingly shorter operating times. Battery Discharge When two batteries are installed, the system draws power from the highest charged battery first until it reaches the 10% charge level, and then switches to the second battery. When the second discharged battery reaches the 10% level, the system switches back to the first discharged battery. NOTE The total remaining % charge for two installed batteries is determined by the following formula: Batt #1 % + Batt #2 % / 2. When the total remaining charge of both batteries reaches the 5% level, Windows forces the computer into hibernation to save your session and protect your batteries from becoming fully depleted. Any time you return and find your computer has shut itself down (placed itself in hibernation), it’s a good idea to check the remaining battery charge level as soon as you power up to be sure your batteries are not exhausted. If they are exhausted, the Charging/Fault indicator will flash 5 times when you press the Power button.

The battery critical alarm and action points are preset at the factory and should not be changed unless directed by DRS Technical Support. Incorrectly setting the battery alarm points could result in the X10gx shutting down unexpectedly and causing the loss of work in progress or corrupting your hard drive. DRS is not responsible for any loss of data or damage to the system as a result of changes to battery alarm point settings. NOTE Warning icons and alert windows may differ slightly depending on your version of the Windows operating system. Low Battery Level Alarm Your ARMOR X10gx is designed to operate even when the battery is depleted (<10% charge). When the total charge drops below 10% (low battery level), the bottom-most LED in the fuel gauge (20% indicator) will flash and a low battery alert message will be displayed, as shown in Figure 114. At this point, DRS recommends you connect external power to recharge the batteries or replace one or both batteries with fresh batteries. Figure 114. Low Battery Alert Message Reserved Battery Level Alarm When the remaining charge reaches 7% (reserved battery level), a second battery alert message will be displayed, as shown in Figure 115, and the battery icon in the task tray will display a red “X”. At this point, you need to save your work and then connect external power, replace the batteries or shut down the computer.

Reserved Battery Alert message Critical Battery Level Alarm When the remaining charge reaches 5% (critical battery level), Windows will automatically place your computer into hibernate mode. Hibernation is a low-power mode that first saves your current session to storage and then performs an orderly shutdown. You should replace your depleted batteries or connect external power before restarting your computer. When you restart your computer, you will resume your session where you left off. CAUTION! Normally, the automatic hibernation at the 5% point will prevent the loss of your session, but heavy demands on the batteries could cause the battery charge to drop too quickly for the computer to react and perform a safe shutdown. To avoid a sudden shut down and loss of your current session, connect external power or replace your batteries as soon as you see one of the above alert messages. What to Do if You Get a Low Battery Alert DRS recommends you do one of the following immediately should you get a low battery alert: • Connect external power and begin recharging the batteries • Replace one or both of the batteries with a fully charged battery. • Save your work and perform a normal system shutdown. Fully Depleted (Overly Discharged) Batteries If a battery continues to discharge until the total charge reaches the 3% level, it is fully depleted. At this point, it can usually be recovered (see
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 205 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer What to Do for an Overly Discharged Battery). However, if the battery continues to discharge, the internal battery circuits may permanently disable the battery for safety reasons and you will not be able to recover it. Avoiding Overly Discharging Your Batteries The following suggestions will help avoid an overly discharged condition. • Do not store the X10gx for long periods with the batteries installed. Even when the unit is powered off, the tablet still draws a small amount of power from the batteries. • Do not store X10gx batteries in a fully depleted condition for long periods of time. The X10gx batteries will further self-discharge over time at a rate of about 10% a month or 3% every 10 days. The batteries should be recharged to 40% of full charge every 3-4 months of storage. Battery Capacity and Charge A battery’s “capacity” is it’s ability to deliver a specified amount of energy in the form of electrical current to the system over a one-hour period, measured in milliamps per hour or mAh. A battery’s “charge” is the percentage of this capacity that has been restored to the battery. A fully charged battery is one that can supply 100% of its current maximum capacity. NOTE: The % charge is based on the current maximum capacity, not the design capacity. Maximum Capacity The maximum capacity of a new battery is at or very close to its design capacity. However, maximum capacity gradually decreases over time due to chemical aging, temperature extremes and usage. Once a battery’s maximum capacity drops below 80% of its design capacity, it is considered to be at the end of it’s life and is normally replaced. For example, a 2400 mAh battery should be replaced when it’s maximum capacity drops below approximately 2399 mAh. NOTE While some batteries may still be usable below the minimum capacity level (<80% of design capacity), the risk for battery failure and/or unexpected shutdown increases dramatically. Checking your Battery’s Capacity You can check a battery’s design capacity, maximum capacity and remaining capacity (current charge level in mAh) by opening ARMORutils and selecting the Battery Monitor option from the Main window and then selecting either Battery 1 Details or Battery 2 Details (see Battery Monitor Dialog for a description of these windows).
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 206 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer CAUTION! Permanent battery capacity loss is greatest at elevated temperatures with the batteries fully charged. Do not leave batteries installed in your X10gx in high temperature surroundings with external power connected for days or weeks at a time. Remove the batteries and store them in a cool place. Discharge/Recharge Cycles Lithium ion batteries do not need to be deeply discharged periodically to maintain capacity like certain other types of rechargeable batteries. In fact, deep discharges have a negative effect on a lithium ion battery’s capacity and operating life. Each time a lithium ion battery is deeply discharged (<30%) and then recharged (either during normal operation or conditioning), the battery records the event as a “cycle.” Each of these deep discharge/recharge cycles has a small cumulative effect on the overall capacity and life of the battery and (on average) after approximately 300-400 cycles at nominal room temperature, the battery is a candidate for replacement (sooner if used primarily in high temperature environments). A battery’s accumulated cycles are displayed in the Charge Cycles Count field of each Battery Information window in ARMORutils (see Figure 71).

The only time DRS recommends conditioning/calibrating a battery is if you notice that the charge levels reported by Windows or ARMORutils, or displayed by the battery gauge, are consistently different from actual battery performance. This is because conditioning adds to the charge cycle count of the battery. Battery conditioning is a 3-step process consisting of an initial full charge, followed by a full discharge and finally followed by a full recharge. Each step is documented in the Conditioning Status panel of the ARMORutils Battery Conditioning window (see Figure 122). Read the following cautions and notes carefully and follow the procedure in Table 33 to condition a battery. CAUTION! If the internal battery temperature exceeds 45°C or drops below 0°C during conditioning, the system will abort the conditioning process. Do not restart conditioning until the internal battery temperature is well within the above temperature limits to avoid another possible abort. CAUTION! Ensure external power remains connected until conditioning is complete. If you disconnect external power during the discharge cycle, conditioning will not abort immediately but will continue until the battery reaches the 3% charge level, and then abort. If you are operating on only one battery or the other battery is also low in charge, you could risk an unexpected shutdown of the tablet. NOTE You must have external power connected to condition a battery. NOTE The conditioning process can take 10 or more hours with two batteries. Ensure that external power remains connected for the duration of the conditioning period.
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 214 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer NOTE Conditioning batteries while the computer is in use can cause excessive heating inside the X10gx. It is recommended that you decrease the screen brightness as much as possible and close any unneeded applications during the conditioning process to help reduce heat buildup. Table 33. Conditioning a Battery STEP ACTION CONDITION OR INDICATION 1. Connect external power to the tablet, either with the included AC adapter or through a docking station. 2. Select Start à ARMORutils à Battery Monitor and click on the Conditioning Menu button. The Battery Conditioning window opens, as shown in Figure 122.

Nominal Usage Industry surveys report that “average daily use” (8 hours or less at nominal room temperature) equates to approximately 300-400 full discharge/recharge cycles per year. Batteries operating at this level of usage that are properly cared for can last as long as two years or even longer. Be advised, however, that a battery that is more than 2 years old is likely to already be in need of replacement. Heavy Us age A battery that is in constant use (24/7), exposed frequently to temperature extremes such as in a hot vehicle, or is subjected to frequent deep discharging will deteriorate more rapidly. Under these operating conditions, DRS recommends a battery be replaced after 1 year to prevent a possible sudden drop in performance. Determining a Battery’s Age To determine the age of the battery, check the lot number on the battery label (see figure below). This number is the date (mm/yy) the battery was shipped from the manufacturer to DRS. Figure 124. ARMOR X10gx Battery Label Before you Dispose of a Battery If the battery is less than a year old or has less than 300 cycles, and you find that it consistently fails to perform as it should, try conditioning the battery before you send it in for warranty replacement or dispose of it. On rare occasions, an offset can build up between the true battery charge and what the battery reports. This can lead to the battery’s being charged to a lower level than what ARMORutils indicates. To condition a battery, follow the procedure in Battery Conditioning/Calibration. SHIPPING DATE
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 217 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer Your Battery’s Warranty Your X10gx battery is warranted against all defects in material and workmanship for a period of 1 year from the date of shipment from DRS. NOTE: Because of the many variables associated with usage and aging, DRS is not responsible for battery capacity performance except as affected by factory defects or workmanship in the battery. Where to Purchase Replacement Batteries Your ARMOR X10gx uses long lasting Lithium Ion batteries that are custom made for DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. If you need to purchase replacement batteries, notify your sales representative, authorized reseller or contact DRS Technical Support. Do not substitute any other batteries. Substituting non-DRS batteries could damage the X10gx and may void your computer warranty. How to Store Batteries When Not in Use The following storage tips will help you optimize the capacity and performance of your batteries while in storage. Short-Term Storage • If your X10gx will powered off for 7-30 days with no external power connected, it is recommended that the batteries first be fully charged and then removed from the computer for short-term storage. • DRS recommends you store your batteries in a cool dry place at room temperature (25°C/77°F) or below. NOTE: Your batteries can be stored at temperatures up to 35ºC (95ºF); however, we recommend you not store fully charged batteries at temperatures above 29°C/85°F as this can decrease battery life. Reduce the charge to 30-50% before storing at temperatures above 29°C/85°F. • Protect battery contacts from accidentally touching metal objects to avoid a short circuit and possible arcing or explosion. • To accurately check a battery’s remaining charge, insert it in your X10gx and select the Battery Monitor button from the ARMORutils main window. Long-Term Storage • If your X10gx batteries will not be used for 30-90 days or longer, they should be placed in storage at a temperature below 32°C (90°F), preferably at room temperature (25°C/77°F) or below to prevent capacity loss. • Install the batteries in the computer to charge or discharge them to 30-50%. • Protect battery contacts from accidentally touching metal objects to avoid a short circuit and possible arcing or explosion.
9711-26020-0001 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev D SECTION 8 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer SECTION 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT Page 218 of 234 ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer • Lithium ion batteries self discharge at the rate of about 10% per month. While in long-term storage, you should recharge the batteries every 3-4 months to a charge level of 30-50%. • To check a battery’s remaining charge, insert it in the X10gx, power up the unit and select the Battery Monitor button from the ARMORutils Main window. Battery Tips for Best Performance • Recharge a battery within 24 hours of a full discharge. Batteries remaining in a fully discharged state longer than 24 hours may deteriorate more quickly. • Battery charging should be done at temperatures between 32°F (0°C) to 95°F (35°C), but preferably at room temperature. The battery could deteriorate more quickly when charged at high temperatures. • When operating your ARMOR X10gx on external power for extended periods of time (1 week or longer), it’s best to remove the batteries and store them in a cool place until needed. • If possible, allow a battery to warm or cool to the temperature of your surroundings before installing it in the tablet. Disposing Of Your Us ed Batteries Disposal You can dispose of your X10gx batteries in a normal waste receptacle. However, they contain recyclable materials that can be extracted and used again. Please see the section on recycling below. WARNING! Disposed lithium-ion batteries that are not fully discharged contain active salts that can result in an explosion if suddenly exposed to moisture or water in the environment. To prevent possible injury to someone finding the battery, please ensure it is fully discharged before disposing in a domestic or commercial garbage receptacle. Recycling Lithium-ion batteries are fully recyclable and should not be simply thrown away. Please help protect our environment by turning in your defective batteries to an authorized recycler, or send them back to DRS. DRS Tactical Systems supports recycling of batteries and will take back your batteries using a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) form. Please contact the DRS Technical Support center toll-free at 1-888-872-1100 for more information.
