Congratulations on your purchase of AQUAPAD+!
You have purchased a high quality, highly scalable basis for your computing needs.
The AQUAPAD+ has the following advantages:
?? Sleek Design and Smart Organization: The design of the AQUAPAD+
encompasses both functionality and elegance. The touch panel and stylus
replace a mouse and keyboard, allowing effortless input and Internet access.
?? Compact Size: Ultra-slim and light, the AQUAPAD+ weighs less than 1.2
Kg and is smaller than B5 paper. The wide 8.4’’ TFT LCD with sharp 800 ×
600 resolution makes the AQUAPAD+ ideal for Internet browsing on the go.
?? Well-rounded Performance: The Transmeta Crusoe TM5900 (800 MHz)
low power consumption CPU and Code Morphing Software (CMS)
technology minimize power consumption, giving a battery life of 3~3.5 hours.
?? All-in-one Solution: The all-in-one design of the AQUAPAD+ lets you get
connected anywhere, any time, with efficiency superior to ordinary PDAs.
Besides using an embedded Windows CE.net OS, it can also come loaded
with Windows®XPe which is compatible with many devices and has a full
suite of utilities.
?? Wireless Internet Access: The support for the 802.11g wireless standard
allows you to browse, email, download multimedia, play games, shop, and
chat online. Via its access point, the AQUAPAD+ can expand wireless
networks to spaces such as meeting rooms, offices, hotel rooms, hospitals,
or kiosks (from 160 feet (50m) indoors up to 1000 feet (300m) outdoors).
Mobility and wireless Internet access are now at your fingertips.
?? Flexible Expansion: The AQUAPAD+ is upgradable and includes one built-
in type II PCMCIA/ CardBus slot and two USB ports. The optional charging
cradle station comes with four additional USB ports and one battery
connector for a second battery backup. With compact flash or hard drive
module flexibility on the main system, users can run various applications
with the most cost-effective storage solution.
Read this User’s Manual carefully before unpacking and setting up your AQUAPAD+.
Refer to this User’s Manual first if you encounter any problems. Keep this manual on
hand for future reference.

Safe use of your AQUAPAD+
Your AQUAPAD+ is designed to be as safe as possible. The guidelines that follow
ensure correct usage.
Routine Care
To keep your AQUAPAD+ working properly:
?? Do not attempt to disassemble or modify your AQUAPAD+.
?? Do not place anything on the display.
?? Avoid using or storing the AQUAPAD+ in places where static electricity or
electrical interference is likely to occur.
?? Avoid using or storing the AQUAPAD+ in places where there are sudden
temperature variations or condensation.
?? Avoid using or storing the AQUAPAD+ in direct sunlight.
?? Keep your AQUAPAD+ away from excessive moisture and temperature
extremes. Do not expose the device to liquids or precipitation.
?? Operate your AQUAPAD+ with the main battery pack installed, even when
using external power. This ensures the system has the necessary power to
operate when disconnected from external power.
?? Store your AQUAPAD+ in its cradle when not in use.
?? To clean the device, wipe the display and the exterior with a soft, damp cloth
moistened only with water. Do not use soap or other cleaning products, as they
will discolor the finish and damage the display.
Battery Care
?? Do not heat or attempt to disassemble the battery. Do not place the battery in
water or expose it to flames.
?? Do not subject the battery to strong impact, such as hitting it with a hammer,
stepping on it or dropping it.
?? Do not puncture the battery.
?? Do not attempt to service the battery.
?? Replace only with batteries designed for this product.
?? If the battery has not been used for three months, charge and discharge it for
two full cycles before recommencing normal use.
Welcome to AQUAPAD+!
3
AC-DC Adapter Care
?? Use only the supplied AC-DC adapter or as specified by the manufacturer.
Other adapters may cause damage to the AQUAPAD+; such damage is not
covered under the warranty.
?? Grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging the adapter from a wall socket.
?? If the power cord or adapter becomes damaged (has exposed or severed wires,
etc.), replace with a new AC-DC adapter. Use of damaged adapters may cause
fire or electrical shock.
?? Power off and disconnect the AQUAPAD+ from the AC-DC adapter before
unplugging the adapter from the wall socket.
TFT LCD Display Care
?? Do not spray liquid directly on the display or allow excess liquid to drip inside
the device.
?? Do not place anything on the display.
?? Do not scratch the surface of the display with hard objects.
?? Do not expose the display to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time.
Travel Care
?? Take the AQUAPAD+ AC-DC adapter with you.
?? Pack your AQUAPAD+ in the Carrying Bag or a protective case and carry it as
cabin baggage. Do not check it with your luggage.
?? Do not use your AQUAPAD+ on an airplane. The radio may function even
though you are working off-line, and interfere with aircraft navigation.
?? Be aware of the possible effect of airport security devices on your device. There
are three types of airport security devices: X-ray machines, magnetic detectors
(the device you walk through), and security magnetic wands. It is recommended
that you prevent exposure of your device to magnetic detectors and security
magnetic wands.
Shipping Care
?? Safeguard your data by making a backup copy.
?? Turn off your AQUAPAD+ and disconnect all external devices.
?? Pack your AQUAPAD+ and all external devices (e.g. power cords and AC-DC
adapter) in the original packing boxes or in similar packaging with sufficient
protective packing material.
