Simply insert the computer onto the gauge ball guide pins and tilt the computer back until the docking connectors engage. If power is applied to the docking station, a positive docking indication will result by the illumination of the charging status icon on the Hammerhead. Tips for proper use and care of your computer The Hammerhead is a rugged field computer, but it is an electronic device and reasonable precautions should be taken: • Don’t subject the computer to extreme heat by placing it on the dashboard of a vehicle with the display facing the sun. • Don’t store the computer in temperatures below -40°C. • Don’t pile tools or heavy objects on top of the computer. • Avoid severe impacts, especially on the display glass. • Don’t try to take the computer apart. Special tools are required to disassemble the computer. Disassembly of the unit by unauthorized personnel may void the warranty. • Don’t use excessive force when inserting PC Cards into the CardBus slots, as they are keyed to go in only one way.
Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 12 2Hardware Operation Turning on the unit Turn the computer on by quickly depressing the yellow on/off button on the upper right-hand side of the computer (press for 1-2 seconds). Note: Holding the on/off button down for a longer period of time (5+ seconds) causes an emergency forced shut down of the computer. The Hammerhead will perform self-checking routines during the start-up process. All units are configured at the factory to automatically boot to the Microsoft Windows Desktop unless a custom configuration has been requested. Pen operations (For Pen Based Computers only. If you have a Computer with Touch Screen, see page 14 for Touch Operations) The pen is the primary screen navigation and data entry tool for the Hammerhead. Without a keyboard attached, the pen is the only means of communicating with the computer. Do not lose or misplace the pen. The pen is usually tethered to the unit or its carrying case. All users are encouraged to purchase a spare pen as a backup. The pen functions like a two-button mouse. There are two switches in the pen, one in the pen tip and another on the barrel of the pen. The tip switch performs the same functions as the left button on a mouse and the barrel switch performs like the right mouse button. Very few Chapter Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 13 applications require the use of the pen’s barrel button. Do not depress the barrel switch when writing on the display; it will adversely affect handwriting recognition. To activate the tip switch, simply press the tip of the pen against the display. This is similar to clicking the left button of a mouse. Double clicking is accomplished by double tapping with the pen. Move an icon by pressing the pen directly overhead and dragging the icon to the desired destination, keeping the pen in constant contact with the display. For right click functions, just depress the switch on the side of the pen. In addition, XP Tablet PC Edition allows right click via pressing and holding the stylus on the screen for 1+ seconds. Press and hold is an optional feature. You can turn the feature on or off by going to Control Panel, and then Tablet and Pen Settings. Tapping the pen requires only light to moderate pressure. It is possible to damage the pen by pounding the tip against the display with force. Most problems using the pen are related to tapping speed and the tapping area size. When using XP Tablet PC Edition, attributes related to use of the pen (e.g. tap speed) can be adjusted by clicking on Control Panel, Tablet and Pen Settings, and then the Pen Options tab. You can also improve handwriting recognition accuracy by indicating if you are right or left handed on the Settings tab. For Windows XP Pro operating systems, look in the PenOffice tools folder found in the Windows Program list. The Hammerhead utilizes a proximity-sensing electromagnetic digitizer. This component tells the computer the pen’s exact position. The computer senses the pen as it nears the display and the cursor appears when the pen is approximately an inch away. This allows visibility of the exact location of input before making actual contact with the display. The location of the cursor on the display is the location of input regardless of the location of the pen tip. The cursor and the pen tip should be closely aligned when the pen is in contact with the display. If the pen and the cursor are out of alignment, click on Control Panel, Tablet and Pen Settings and go to the Settings tab where you can calibrate the screen for both landscape and portrait orientations. If you are using Windows XP Pro, follow the instructions provided in the PenOffice tools folder found in the Windows Program list. Confirm the display is on the appropriate setting before attempting to realign the pen.
Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 14Touch Operations (For Touch computer models only. See page 12 if you have a Pen based computer.) Touch Screen Operation The touch screen replaces a mouse in normal Windows operation. Wherever you touch the screen with your finger or stylus, the computer interprets it as a mouse click. Due to the nature of the touch screen, it is sometimes hard to drag objects across the screen and it is also hard to move the pointer around the screen without selecting the object below the cursor. It is also difficult to capture a signature on touch screen units. This should be taken into account when applications are being developed for touch screen devices. Caring for the Touch Screen With minimal maintenance, the touch screen will last many years. When operating the touch screen, you should not use an abrasive or metallic pointer. The touch screen is easily scratched if an abrasive stylus is used. We recommend using your finger or a plastic tipped stylus. Be careful not to let sand or grit sit on the screen. Cleaning of the touch screen can be done with a regular plastic cleaner such as Plexus. Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 15 Battery use and care The Lithium Ion batteries used in your Hammerhead computer offer the best technology available today. These 'Smart Batteries' provide Hammerhead users with the greatest power density and the most accurate gas-gauge possible. To achieve the best possible performance from your batteries, we recommend using and maintaining the batteries in accordance with the instructions provided below. Getting started with your new batteries Your unit comes with a Lithium Ion battery that is shipped (uninstalled) in the box with the unit. The unit may also have a non-working battery shell in the second battery slot that shows you how the battery is to be installed. Due to current regulations regarding shipment of Lithium Ion batteries, your battery(s) will arrive in a partially charged condition, typically with a maximum charge of 30% to 50%. You need to install your battery before turning on the unit. We also recommend that you fully charge your batteries before using them. If you do not plan to deploy your computer immediately, please be aware that the batteries self-discharge at a slow rate, typically less than 10% per month at normal temperatures. How to install new batteries The Hammerhead has the capability to run on one or two batteries in the field. The unit does not require both batteries to run. The two-battery design allows users to hot swap batteries without turning the computer off. To install or replace a new battery, locate the round knob in the battery compartment on the back of the unit. The knob holds the batteries in place and is designed so the batteries cannot be taken out at the same time. Simply turn the knob until the quarter piece exposes the corner of the battery that is to be replaced. A lip on the battery aids easy removal. Install the new battery by placing it into the compartment and turning the knob to cover the edges of both batteries. Battery knob
Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 16When to recharge batteries The green LEDs on the upper right front of the unit indicate the power status of the battery. At full charge, all five LED indicators will light a solid green. Each LED represents approximately 20% of the total charge. As the battery power availability decreases, the LED’s will turn off from top to bottom. For example, when the top light begins to flash, the computer has approximately 90% charge remaining. If four LED’s are lit a solid green, an estimated 80% of the total battery charge remains. If three are lit a solid green and the fourth one begins flashing, the computer has approximately 70% charge remaining. The last LED indicator will begin to flash when approximately 10% of battery power remains. When the remaining battery power becomes critical, all data should be saved. Failure to do so may result in lost data! Replace one of the batteries with a fresh battery or recharge the unit. When the Hammerhead is turned off, the battery status indicators will also turn off after a delay of a few seconds. When the unit is placed in standby mode, the battery status indicators will flash as a reminder the unit is on standby. How to recharge your batteries The Hammerhead’s batteries automatically fast charge any time the Hammerhead is connected to an external power source (AC or DC). This is accomplished using either the Hammerhead internal battery charger or an approved DRS power source/battery charger. To recharge the battery using the AC adapter, plug the circular connector of the AC adapter into the AC connector in the Hammerhead or in the power supply port on the replicator. Charging begins automatically as the unit is docked when using a vehicle-docking mount, desktop docking station or a wall mount docking station. The Hammerhead is fully functional as it charges. Using the unit as it charges will only slightly lengthen the recharging process. Don’t be alarmed if batteries feel warm to the touch during this process. It is normal for a battery to become warm during charging and discharging. AC adapter plugs in here Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 17 Do not use any external power source other than the AC or DC adapters provided with the Hammerhead. The power supply “brick” for the Hammerhead specifies 15V. DO NOT plug the external power supply from the Battery Charger into the computer or docking mechanism. This power supply is 24V and will cause permanent damage to the computer. Also, do not connect the computer to more than one power source at a time, such as an AC power supply and docking station, when charging the unit or permanent damage to the battery or computer may occur. How to tell when batteries have finished charging When charging, the green charge indicator light will flash while the unit is recharging. When charging two batteries, the secondary battery (see diagram below) will charge to 80% of full charge, then the primary battery will charge to 80%. After both batteries reach 80%, the secondary battery will then charge the remaining 20%, after which the primary battery will complete its recharging process. This method provides the best ratio of charge time to run time for short battery charge cycles. When batteries are fully charged, the charge indicator light will stop flashing and remain lit. How to increase battery "run time” The total run-time of the battery is dependent on a variety of factors including temperature, backlight requirements and computer usage. To ensure maximum performance of the battery, optimize your computer’s power management features. Settings for the display and the hard drive shutdown, as well as the use of stand-by and hibernate mode, result in lower overall drain on the battery, effectively increasing the computer’s operating time. When to replace your battery Battery life is dependent on battery usage. Every time a battery is fully charged and discharged, it decreases the amount of energy stored in the battery. To determine if the battery is past its prime, first check the Silver warranty label on the bottom of your battery. Batteries beyond one year
Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 18of service may experience shorter run times. Recommended replacement for batteries is once a year or every 400-500 charge/discharge cycles for optimal battery performance. Where to purchase replacement batteries The Hammerhead uses long lasting Lithium Ion batteries that are custom made for DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. If you need to purchase replacement batteries for your Hammerhead computer, contact your sales representative. Do not substitute any other batteries. Substituting batteries may result in a void warranty. How to store batteries when they’re not in use The following storage tips will help you optimize the capacity and performance of your batteries. • If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it is removed from the computer for storage. • Store batteries in a cool, dry place. • Do not leave batteries in direct sunlight during the summer months or any other unusually hot location. • Do not expose battery terminals to metal objects or moisture, which may short-circuit your battery. • For long-term storage, store batteries below 50% state of charge because the deterioration of battery capacity is slower at lower state of charge. However, do not store batteries in a fully discharged state. Safety and handling considerations for your batteries To make the batteries as safe as possible, DRS Tactical Systems, Inc., along with our approved vendors, has incorporated several built in safety features to protect the pack. The safety circuit in your battery cannot protect against handling abuse. Please use the following safety rules when handling and using Lithium Ion batteries. • Do not expose the batteries to extremely high temperatures. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. • Do not short circuit the battery or reverse polarity. Avoid placing batteries around metal objects such as keys, pocket change, paper clips and jewelry. Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 19 • Do not let children play with batteries. • Do not crush, dent or allow any deformation of the battery. • Do not disassemble or open the batteries or try to alter or bypass the safety circuit. • Do not allow the battery to get wet. • Avoid exposing the battery to extremely humid environments. • Avoid exposing the batteries to electrostatic discharge. • Avoid extreme shock and vibration to the battery. Avoid dropping the battery. • Do not use or connect the battery to any other devices. • Do not allow batteries to remain discharged for long periods of time. Disposing of your batteries The batteries used in the Hammerhead are not considered hazardous waste by EPA regulations; however local regulations may require specific methods of disposal. We strongly encourage recycling and will be happy to recycle batteries for you. Please contact your local sales representative or our technical support department for assistance. Battery tips for the best performance • Fully discharge your battery before recharging. By charging the battery only when it has become completely discharged, you will reduce the number of charge cycles and thus extend the life of your battery. • Fully charge within 24 hours of discharge. Batteries stored in a fully discharged state may be subject to faster deterioration. • Battery charging should be done at temperatures between 0°C to 45°C, preferably room temperature. The battery could deteriorate more quickly when charged at high temperatures. • Discharging should be done at temperatures between –10°C to +60°C, preferably room temperature. • Store your battery in a cool dry place, preferably at temperatures between 20°C to +60°C. Your battery may deteriorate more quickly if stored in high temperatures such as a vehicle in the hot sun.
Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 20Calibrating Batteries When used under normal operating conditions, where the battery goes through a cycle of being charged, fully discharged and recharged again, you should not have to calibrate your Hammerhead batteries. Periodically, however, batteries may require calibration to improve accuracy of the battery gauge, particularly if they go through continual cycles of shallow discharges without ever achieving a fully discharged state. To ensure that the batteries are operating accurately and at their best performance levels, we offer a Smart battery charger that will perform the calibration procedure for you. (DRS Model Number 9800-17019-0000) This Smart battery charger is based on Intel’s System Management Bus (SMBus) interface for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). In addition to calibration, the charger can fully charge two batteries in less time, compared to the current Hammerhead external battery charger. Typical Charge Time per battery is 1.7 hours. Note: Only calibrate batteries when they need it. Calibrating a battery unnecessarily will increase the cycle count and thereby reduce the battery life. Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 21 Removable hard drive The hard drive compartment allows field upgrades or repairs without opening the Hammerhead. Some customers may have IT Departments that will be trained to replace hard drives at the customer location. You should not open the hard drive compartment without the proper training from DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Please contact our technical support department at 888-872-1100 before removing the cover plate of the hard drive compartment. Any tampering of the hard drive will result in a void warranty. Connectivity Most often, connectivity with the Hammerhead is via the docking connector on the backside of the unit. Most customers also purchase a port replicator, desk dock, or Hammerdock vehicle dock that provides standard ports for communications, keyboard, and power supply. Port replicators and docking stations may be customized to your requirements and may not be configured exactly as described below. Port replicators There are several variations of port replicators (flat, angled, custom, etc.) New connectivity options are constantly in development. The following features are available on the standard port replicator.

Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 26 Heater option The Hammerhead supports an optional heater package that improves boot time in colder environments and allows the computer to operate at temperatures down to -20o C. You can enable the heaters to automatically activate while your machine is booting and/or while it is running. If enabled, the heaters will automatically activate each time the ambient temperature falls below a predetermined level. CardBus/PCMCIA cards The Type III slot in the Hammerhead will support both CardBus and/or PCMCIA cards. CardBus and PC Cards are two alternative types of PCMCIA interfaces (or slots) on laptops, desktops, and PDAs. PCMCIA cards are based on a 16-bit interface, while CardBus is a 32-bit interface. This allows the CardBus Card to transfer data at speeds exceeding 100 Mbps, while a 16-bit PCMCIA card transfers data at approximately 20 Mbps. CardBus also offers lower power consumption: CardBus Cards are all 3.3-volt cards, while 16-bit PCMCIA Cards can be 5-volt or 3.3-volt. To insert a card, take off the door by removing the two screws that secure the door. Cards should be inserted face up (i.e. the up arrow on the card should point toward the front of the Hammerhead). Do not apply excessive pressure when loading cards. They are keyed and should slide in easily. Remove the card in the same manner. Most PCMCIA devices are too fragile for direct connections in field environments. In response, DRS provides a variety of doors that extend beyond the housing to contain a combination of connectors and cable assemblies needed to connect to common PCMCIA devices. These extended doors serve two purposes: 1) they provide for a sturdy and highly reliable connection not possible when connecting directly to a PCMCIA device, and 2) they maintain the environmental integrity of the Hammerhead by fully sealing the PCMCIA compartment while providing the needed connectivity. Extended doors are available only for those PCMCIA devices that have been tested and recommended by DRS. Custom doors may be available for large purchases. Chapter 2 – Hardware Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 27 Internal “Flex Space” for OEM modules In addition to a Type III CardBus/PCMCIA slot, the Hammerhead computer has an internal “Flex Space” that will accommodate optional radios such as GPS and GPRS. The antenna for the internal module is mounted on the top right hand side of the computer and does not interfere with the CardBus/PCMCIA door and antenna options, which are located on the upper left hand side of the computer. ProtectIT™ (this feature not yet shipping) We have spent a considerable amount of time designing and implementing shock-absorbing fixtures to protect the data on the hard drive from damage in the likely event of an accidental fall. The Hammerhead debuts an exciting new feature called ProtectIT™. ProtectIT™ (a combination of hardware and software) can sense a sudden increase in acceleration that may occur from the unit being dropped from a standing position, or falling off the hood of a truck. When a fall is sensed, the hard drive read/write heads are instantaneously retracted preventing them from impacting the hard drive spindle surfaces, preventing what is commonly referred to as a “head crash”. Think of ProtectIT™ as a “Seat-belt” for your data. The ProtectIT™ application is incorporated in the HH Utility, which is preloaded on the Hammerhead. Simply click on the utility and select the ProtectIT™ tab. With the HH utility running, you will notice the arrow will change direction according to the movement of your Hammerhead Tablet PC. The hard drive read/write heads are retracted or “parked” when the color of the arrow changes from Green to Yellow. The interface allows the user to enable, disable or control the sensitivity of ProtectIT™.

Turning off power-consuming peripherals Peripheral devices on your computer use power. For instance, your Tablet PC may have a wireless network connection, a modem card or USB devices. Because some of these peripherals can draw a significant amount of power, you should consider unplugging them or turning them off in situations where you want to conserve battery power. For
Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 30information on turning off your wireless network connection, please refer to the manufacturer's documentation. Using power schemes Power schemes are a collection of settings that manages the power usage of your computer. You can select from a number of power schemes that are available in Power Options in the Control Panel, you can adjust individual settings of any available power scheme, or you can create your own power schemes to suit your particular system and preferences. Standby Standby is a low-power state in which your LCD and CPU turn off. When you want to use the computer again, it comes out of standby quickly and your desktop is restored exactly as you left it. Use standby to save power when you will be away from the computer for a short time while working. Hibernation Hibernation is a state in which your computer shuts down to save power but first saves everything in memory on your hard disk. When you restart the computer, your desktop is restored exactly as you left it. Use hibernation to save power when you will be away from the computer for an extended time. Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 31 Adjusting Screen Brightness and Backlight Settings The Hammerhead comes with a Utility program that provides additional functionality to your computer. To launch the Hammerhead Utilities program, click on the icon found in the quick launch bar. If the icon is not found, you can launch the program by clicking on START, ALL PROGRAMS HH UTILITIES. Adjusting screen brightness The brightness of your Tablet PC screen is often the number one consumer of power, so you can conserve battery power by turning down the screen brightness on your Hammerhead. For optimal battery function we recommend that your computer is set for “Auto Off” in bright light, “Auto Dim” in low light and the advanced backlight settings are loaded with default settings. This configuration is designed to give you an optimal balance between performance and battery life. For computers with Transmissive (indoor viewable) displays, it is highly recommended that you do not use the “Auto Off” backlight settings. Manual brightness adjustment The brightness slider control allows you to manually adjust the backlight brightness. Click on the bar and slide it to the left or right to achieve the desired brightness. When using the All-Vis LCD, DRS recommends not to select any of the Auto Back Light Settings and to slide the Brightness slider all the way to the right.

QuickBack™ QuickBack™ is a new backup and restore feature on your Hammerhead computer that allows you to make an exact copy of your hard disk's contents on a hidden partition of your computer, which you can use to restore your PC if the main image ever becomes corrupted or unusable. Hammerhead Rugged Tablets implement the QuickBack™ functionality using the Acronis True Image OEM software package. The True Image application provides a number of useful System Backup features including the creation and storage of an Archival Backup Image, the ability to store up to two additional User created Backup Images, and the ability to create an Emergency Bootable CD for System Recovery. The System Hard Drive is divided into several sections or “Partitions”. • The C partition is the primary partition that contains the Windows files, Application Program files, User files, etc and the C Partition is used as the primary system boot drive for normal operations. • The D partition contains low level tools for firmware upgrades and the User Backup Images of the C Partition. The firmware tools in the D partition are accessed by a system boot to the Internal EFI shell (Intel Extensible Firmware Interface). Ideally the D partition is made large enough to contain the Firmware Tools and download files and at least two compressed User-generated backup images. • The DRS-Acronis SVC Partition is a “hidden” partition that is used to store the Original Archive Backup Image. This partition is sized by the True Image tool and is made to be just large enough to contain the compressed Archive Backup Image. The compressed image of a partition can only be stored in one of the other partitions for backup purposes. This allows the User to overcome the most common image corruption issues and to restore the system back to the last saved image. Note that if the entire hard drive becomes Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 35 defective of if the hard drive fails then the QuickBack™ feature will not be able to restore the system. Even the System Recovery CD looks for the backup image on the hard drive. The periodic use of an alternate backup tool is recommended to provide backup images on external media in case of catastrophic hard drive failures. You may decide to purchase the upgraded full-featured Acronis True Image tool to be able to backup and recover an image from an external drive. Archive Backup Image The original Archive Image is created and supplied by DRS as part of the system manufacturing process. The Archive Backup Image contains the original C and D partition images and is stored in a compressed form in a hidden partition on the system hard disk. This hidden partition is not visible or accessible to the user with the standard system file access toolset. The Archive Backup Image can be used to restore the hard drive by selecting the F11 option when prompted during the system boot to immediately start the standalone True Image Application. Within the True Image application, the User can select the “Restore Original System Installation” button and follow the on-screen directions to restore the entire Archive Backup Image onto the C and D partitions of the System Hard Drive. Note that any changes or additions to either of these two partitions will be lost. This includes User Backup Images that have been placed in the D partition area. User Backup Image(s) The User can create up to two User Backup Images of the C partition (Compressed Images of C can be stored up to the available space in the D partition). The User Backup Images are typically created as desired by the User using the True Image application under Windows. The User Backup Images are stored into the D partition of the system hard drive. Currently, the existing Image size and the D partition size allows up to two User Backup Images to be saved at one time. If the user increases the size of the image significantly with the addition of new software, then only one backup image can be stored. With the addition of very large amounts of user data it is possible to grow the image large enough that it can not be compressed into the available space on the D partition (In this case the True Image will inform the user that no backup into the requested location is possible).
Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 36 Emergency Bootable CD The user can create an Emergency Bootable CD using the True Image Application under Windows and an attached CD/DVD disk drive with write capability. If the C drive becomes corrupted and the system fails to boot normally, then the Emergency Bootable CD provides the user with the ability to boot the system to the True Image Application. The User can then restore the C partition from one of the User created Backup Images. To boot from the Recovery CD: • Place the recovery CD in a CD drive attached to the System • Boot the system and press the ESC key when the DRS splash screen appears • Select Boot Manager • Select the CD drive (the exact text depends on the type of drive being used) As well as reading an image you've already made, the rescue disc can actually make a brand new image — handy if you want to copy a data partition on a PC that's no longer bootable. How to Access QuickBack™ for Initial Set-Up and Help Features The QuickBack™ feature can be accessed by clicking on the Acronis True Image shortcut on the computer’s desktop. You can also access it by clicking on START > All Programs > Acronis > True Image. The program includes an extremely easy to use wizard interface and detailed HELP features. Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 37 Windows XP Tablet PC Edition Features This section describes some of the unique features and benefits of Microsoft’s XP Tablet PC Edition software for your Hammerhead Tablet. (Note: This section is not applicable for units with XP Pro Operating Systems.) Tablet and pen settings Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 lets you customize the tablet and the tablet pen to suit the way you work. Not all users have to use the same Tablet and Pen Settings. Individual users can save their own settings. Attributes related to use of the pen can be adjusted by clicking on Control Panel, Tablet and Pen Settings. In this section you can: • Change the screen orientation between landscape and portrait modes. • Set the pen for left- or right-hand use. • Change the default settings of the hardware buttons on Tablet PC. • Change how a pen matches mouse movements, such as single-click, double-click, right–click, and hover. • Set handwriting-recognition language. • You can also customize features of Microsoft Windows Journal, Input Panel, and Sticky Notes to get the most from your Tablet PC. Screen rotation – this section will be replaced with new instructions XP Tablet PC supports rapid display rotation between portrait and landscape modes without requiring the user to restart the computer. That makes it easy for users to work in either mode according to their preferences. For example, when annotating PowerPoint slides, it may be preferable to work in landscape mode—the same orientation as most PowerPoint slides. However, when taking notes in Windows Journal, it is more natural to do so in portrait mode—just like taking notes in a paper notebook. The Tablet PC screen displays rotate almost instantly, so the user can go back and forth as often as desired or needed for a specific task.
Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 38How do I rotate the screen on my Hammerhead? • In the sys-tray, click on the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 icon. See figure below. • Click Graphics Options • Click Rotation • Choose your desired rotation type To restore the display to the previous mode, follow the same instructions. Note: The pen may need to be calibrated after rotating the screen. See pen calibration on page 20. Handwriting using the Input Panel One way to write with the digital pen when you're not using your keyboard and mouse is by going to the Input Panel. The Input Panel has three views, the writing pad, character pad and the on-screen keyboard. You can input text into applications using your own handwriting on the writing pad and/or character pad or tap in characters using your pen with the on-screen keyboard. The Tablet PC Input Panel is hidden when you first start, but is easily opened. How to open the Input Panel To open Input Panel next to the location where you want to enter text, tap the floating Tablet PC Input Panel icon. The icon appears automatically when you rest the pen near the field that you want to complete, such as the "To" field in a new Microsoft Outlook e-mail message, or when you tap the location on the screen where you want to insert text, for example, in the middle of a paragraph in a Microsoft Office Word 2003 document. Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 39 You can move Input Panel anywhere on the screen by using the move handle, which appears at the far right side of Input Panel. Or, you can dock Input Panel—that is, set it to appear at the top or bottom of the screen. When docked, Input Panel is always available and does not cover any open windows. Input Panel offers three entry modes—the writing pad, the character pad, and the on-screen keyboard.
Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 40 Writing Pad You can enter text by using ink in the writing pad. The writing pad is especially useful for tasks such as adding text to a Word 2003 document or updating a Microsoft Office Excel 2003 spreadsheet. As you write, Input Panel expands to accommodate more text as needed. If you want to convert ink to text, Input Panel does so dynamically. Character Pad The character pad also converts your ink to text so that it can be inserted into a program, but you use it to enter one letter at a time. The character pad is particularly useful when you need the highest levels of accuracy—for example, when you're entering an e mail address or a URL. The characters that you enter into the character pad are immediately converted to text, so you can spot and fix any errors immediately. Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 41 On-screen Keyboard Use the on-screen keyboard when you don't want to use ink but you do want to use the pen, or when you're using a Tablet PC without an attached keyboard. Simply tap the letters on the keyboard to form words. Input Panel enters the text directly in the field or at the insertion point of the active program. The on-screen keyboard is especially useful for entering small amounts of text, such as passwords and file names. Customization You can customize Input Panel based on your personal preferences, such as inserting text automatically, changing the ink thickness, and defining the amount of space between the lines in the writing area.
Chapter 3 – Software Operation DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. Hammerhead User’s Guide –V062906 42 Speech Recognition With a USB microphone device attached to the Hammerhead, you can use your voice either to dictate or give commands. For example, you can dictate to your Tablet PC to enter text into a program. You can use voice commands to correct any errors, format text that you have dictated, save documents, switch between programs, move around within a program, or perform other actions to control any Windows-based program. As you speak into your microphone, Input Panel changes your spoken words into text. Speaking to your computer is often easier and quicker than using your tablet pen to enter text. It may also be more comfortable, allowing you to rest your hands and wrists. You can also save thoughts or ideas immediately, before you forget them. You can use speech features and your tablet pen at the same time. Use the microphone to enter text, and then use the pen to correct and format the text. Handwriting using Microsoft Windows Journal Microsoft Windows Journal allows you to take notes in your own handwriting, just like on a piece of paper. You can later convert those notes to text if you wish or leave them as "ink." In either case, they're completely searchable. You can also create drawings or graphics that can be saved or sent to other applications from Windows Journal. You can even share journal files with non-Tablet PC users by exporting them as MHTML files, which others can view with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later, or by exporting them as TIFF images for viewing with a viewer that is installed by default on Microsoft Windows 98 or later. How to access Windows Journal To access Windows Journal, click on Start, All Programs, and Windows Journal.

If you get a double arrow, simply drag the task bar to the size you need. • If not, follow these directions (note: you will need a keyboard to perform this function. Do not attempt to use the pen during this process. 1. Press the <CTRL>, <ESC> keys in combination to display the “Start” menu. 2. Press the <ESC> button and the menu will disappear. You have now placed the focus on the “Start” button. 3. Press <ALT>, <SPACEBAR> keys in combination to display a context menu. 4. Use the cursor keys to navigate in the context menu and highlight “Size”. 5. Press <ENTER> and the pointer will move to the middle of the taskbar along the edge of the display and become a two-way arrow. 6. Using the cursor key, size the task bar to your preference. 7. Press the <ENTER> key to set the task bar size. • To avoid this problem in the future, try sizing the task bar to be larger than the default. This can be done at your discretion. Windows XP also gives you the option of locking the task bar so this will not happen. We highly recommend locking your taskbar if you are using Windows XP. To lock your taskbar: 1. Right click on the taskbar. 2. Select the properties tab. 3. Under task bar tab menu, check “lock the taskbar.”
