Using Getac Camera
Getac Camera is a geo-tagging camera program, which allows you to stamp
geographical information on photos as watermarks and embed such information into
JPEG files as EXIF 2.2 metadata.
NOTE:
Getac Camera works with Virtual-GPS (a separate application program).
Make sure that Virtual-GPS is installed in your computer.
Before starting Getac Camera, close any other program that uses the
camera; otherwise, Getac Camera can only provide limited functions.
The instructions in this document are based on touchscreen operations
though there are equivalent touchpad and mouse operations.
To start the program, tap the Getac Camera program icon on Windows desktop.
The Getac Camera window appears as shown below.
The GPS positioning will be automatically activated. When the GPS positioning is
completed, you will see the geographical information in the watermark area on the

For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended temperature
is between 0°C (32°F) and 55°C (131°F) – actual operating temperature
depending on product specifications.
Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme
temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using the
computer in extreme environments for long periods can result in product
deterioration and a shortened product life.
Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed.
Place the computer on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the computer
on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by dropping
or hitting may damage the computer.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the computer. For example,
do not place the computer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise,
overheating may occur that results in damage to the computer.
As the computer can become very hot during operation, keep it away from objects
that are vulnerable to heat.
Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances
that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor,
or a large audio speaker.
Avoid moving the computer abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature
difference of more than 10°C (18°F) may cause condensation inside the unit,
which may damage the storage media.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as this
may damage the display.
The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid touching it with a sharp object
such as a pen or pencil.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to
automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using a screen
saver or other software that prevents the power management from working.

Never clean the computer with its power on.
Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the
exterior of the computer.
Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or detergent
on the display.
Dust or grease on the touchpad can affect its sensitivity. Clean the pad by using
adhesive tape to remove the dust and grease on its surface.
If water or liquid is split onto the computer, wipe it dry and clean when possible.
Though your computer is water-proof, do not leave the computer wet when you
can dry it.
If the computer gets wet where the temperature is 0 °C (32 °F) or below,
freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet computer.

Battery Pack
Guidelines
GuidelinesGuidelines
Guidelines
Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make
sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to the
battery pack.
The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will shorten
its life:
– when frequently charging the battery pack
– when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature
condition
To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its
useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to frequently
increase its internal temperature.
Charge the battery pack between 10°C ~ 30°C (50°F ~ 86°F) temperature
range.
A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s temperature to
rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed vehicle and in hot weather
condition.
Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is not within the allowed temperature
range.
It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than once
a day.
It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the computer’s power
off.
To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool dark place
removed from the computer and with 30% ~ 40% charge remaining.
Important guidelines when using the battery pack.
When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the following:
Caring for the Computer 7-7
– avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the computer is
in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause loss
of data or the computer may become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the computer.
The computer’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly affect the
battery pack’s charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the computer is turned on.
To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the
computer in sleep or hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten
the discharge time.
When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you may
experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This
phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate
operating temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C (14 °F ~ 122 °F).

Use the finger or the included touchscreen pen on the display. Using a sharp
or metallic object other than your finger or touchscreen pen may cause scratches
and damage the display, thereby causing errors.
Avoid using excessive force that may cause damage to the display.
Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has
a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a
soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen
surface.
Turn off the computer power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the display
with the power on may cause improper operation.
7-8 Caring for the Computer
Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid moving the computer while
holding the display or twisting the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the
display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display.
Using the touchscreen during low temperature (less than 5oC) may cause a
slower response time, this is normal. A normal response time may be restored
upon returning to room temperature.
When there is a noticeable discrepancy in the placement of the stylus on the
screen and the indicated position of the onscreen pointer, use the calibration
utility to recalibrate the touchscreen display.

Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard disk data into
flash disks or other storage devices. As an added precaution, bring along an
extra copy of your important data.
Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged.
Make sure that the computer is turned off and the top cover is securely closed.
Do not leave objects in between the keyboard and closed display.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the computer and take it with you. Use the
AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger.
Hand-carry the computer. Do not check it in as luggage.
If you need to leave the computer in the car, put it in the trunk of the car
to avoid exposing the computer to excessive heat.
When going through airport security, it is recommended that you send the computer
and flash disks through the X-ray machine (the device you set your bags on).
Avoid the magnetic detector (the device you walk through) or the magnetic wand
(the handheld device used by security personnel).
If you plan to travel abroad with your computer, consult your dealer for the
appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of destination.
