Operating Your
Tablet PC
This chapter provides information about the use of the Tablet PC.
If you are new to computers, reading this chapter will help you learn the
operating basics. If you are already a computer user, you may choose to read
only the parts containing information unique to your Tablet PC.
CAUTION:
 Do not expose your skin to the Tablet PC when operating it in a very hot
or cold environment.
 The Tablet PC can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in high
temperatures. As a safety precaution in such a circumstance, do not
place the Tablet PC on your lap or touch it with your bare hands for
extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort
and potentially a burn.
14
Using the Touchscreen
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen or pencil on the
touchscreen. Doing so may damage the touchscreen surface. Use the included
stylus or your finger.
NOTE: An optical film has been attached to the screen before shipment. The
film is a consumable, which will be worn out by possible scratches. You can
purchase a new one when replacement is required.
Your Tablet PC has a capacitive touchscreen. This type of touchscreen
responds to objects that have conductive properties, such as fingertips and a
capacitive-tipped stylus.
You can change the touchscreen sensitivity settings to suit your scenario.
Double-tap the Touch Screen Mode shortcut on Windows desktop to open
the settings menu and select one of the options (as shown below).
Select this if you prefer using
fingertips. Also, select this
when raindrops are falling
on the screen and should be
rejected as input.
Select this if you are using the
stylus. (You must use the one
supplied with your model.)
Select this if you are wearing gloves
(referring to warm gloves or work gloves,
not referring to touchscreen-capable gloves).
NOTE: If liquid is spilled on the touchscreen causing a wet area, the area will
stop responding to any inputs. For the area to function again, you must dry it.
The following table shows how you use the touchscreen to obtain equivalent
mouse functions.

Chapter 3
Managing Power
Your Tablet PC operates either on external AC power or on internal battery
power.
This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain
optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the
proper way.
33
AC Adapter
CAUTION:
 The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only. Connecting
the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.
 The AC power cord supplied with your Tablet PC is for use in the country
where you purchased your Tablet PC. If you plan to go overseas with the
Tablet PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord.
 When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet
first and then from the Tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the
AC adapter or Tablet PC.
 When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull
on the cord.
The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC
(Direct Current) power because your Tablet PC runs on DC power, but an
electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack
when connected to AC power.
The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC.
34
Battery Pack
Your Tablet PC has two battery packs. The battery pack is the internal power
source for the Tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter.
NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the
“Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter 7.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE:
 Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is outside the
allowed range, which is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F). Once
the battery’s temperature meets the requirements, charging
automatically resumes.
 During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery
has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged
battery.
 The battery has a high temperature protection mechanism which limits
the maximum charge of the battery to 80% of its total capacity in the
event of high temperature conditions. In such conditions, the battery
will be regarded as fully charged at 80% capacity.
 The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge
process (0.21% per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged
(100%). This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the
Tablet PC.
To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an
electrical outlet. The Battery Indicator (
) on the Tablet PC glows amber to
indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the Tablet PC
power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully
charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green.
The two battery packs are charged in parallel. It takes approximately 5 hours
to fully charge the two battery packs when the power is off and approximately
6 hours when the power is on (may need a longer charging time at lower
temperatures).
CAUTION: After the Tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately
disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may
damage the battery.
35
Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or
when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected.
Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It
can take several hours.
A software tool called “Gauge Reset” is provided for the purpose. Use the
G-Manager program and select the Battery tab to find the tool.
Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual
operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on
how you are using the Tablet PC.
The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are
using the Tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you
will experience a shorter operating time.
The two battery packs are discharged in parallel.
By Operating System
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter
function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, tap
the battery icon on the taskbar.
By Gas Gauge
On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the
estimated battery charge.

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
66
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 Tablet PC’s
power off.

To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool
dark place removed from the Tablet PC 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:
– avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the Tablet PC is
in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause
loss of data or the Tablet PC may become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the Tablet PC.
The Tablet PC’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly
affect the battery pack’s charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the Tablet PC is turned on.
To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the
Tablet PC 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).

Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than six months
without recharging it.
Touchscreen Guidelines

Use the finger or the included stylus on the display. Using a sharp or
metallic object other than your finger or stylus may cause scratches and
damage the display, thereby causing errors.
67

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 Tablet PC power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the
display with the power on may cause improper operation.

Do not use excessive force on 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 (below 5 oC / 41 °F) may
cause a slower response time, this is normal. A normal response time may
be restored upon returning to room temperature.

When there is noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen
function (wrong location on intended operation or improper display
resolution), refer to the Windows online Help for instructions on
recalibrating the touchscreen display.
68
When Traveling

Before traveling with your Tablet PC, 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 Tablet PC is turned off.

Make sure that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure
the waterproof integrity.

Disconnect the AC adapter from the Tablet PC and take it with you. Use
the AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger.

Hand-carry the Tablet PC. Do not check it in as luggage.

If you need to leave the Tablet PC in the car, put it in the trunk of the car
to avoid exposing the Tablet PC to excessive heat.

When going through airport security, it is recommended that you send
the Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC, consult your dealer for
the appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of destination.

ENERGY STAR 6.1
ENERGY STAR® is a government program that offers businesses and consumers
energy-efficient solutions, making it easy to save money while protecting the
environment for future generations.
Please reference ENERGY STAR® related information
from http://www.energystar.gov.
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Getac Technology Corporation has determined
that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.
An ENERGY STAR® qualified computer uses 70 % less electricity than computers
without enabled power management features.
Earning the ENERGY STAR®

When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the
ENERGY STAR®, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of
greenhouse gases out of the air.

If left inactive, ENERGY STAR® qualified computers enter a low-power
mode and may use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power
management features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than
even just a few years ago.

Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves
energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer.

Businesses that use ENERGY STAR® enabled office equipment may realize
additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.
95

Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR® qualified equipment in a single home
office (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough
electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years.

Power management (“sleep settings”) on computers and monitors can
result in much savings annually.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution
Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power
management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way
to reduce air pollution. By using less energy, these products help lower
consumers’ utility bills, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
Getac Product Compliance
All Getac products with ENERGY STAR® logo comply with the ENERGY STAR®
standard, and the power management feature is enabled by default. As
recommended by the ENERGY STAR® program for optimal energy savings,
the computer is automatically set to sleep after 15 minutes (in battery mode)
and 30 minutes (in AC mode) of user inactivity. To wake up the computer,
press the power button.
If you want to configure power management settings such as inactivity time
and ways to initiate/end Sleep mode, go to Power Options by right-clicking
the battery icon on the Windows taskbar and then selecting Power Options
in the pop-up menu.
Please visit http://www.energystar.gov/powermanagement for detail
information on power management and its benefits to the environment.
