Operating Your
Tablet PC
This chapter provides information about the use of the Tablet PC.
If you are new to Tablet PCs, 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:
z Do not expose your skin to the Tablet PC when operating it in a very hot
or cold environment.
z 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.

NOTE:
z A screen protector 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.
z Instead of a hard tip, your stylus has a soft tip so that it does not scratch
the screen protector film. It is normal for the soft tip to wear out after a
long period of use. You can purchase a new one when needed.
The screen of your Tablet PC is touch-sensitive. You can control the location
of the cursor/pointer on the screen using the included stylus or your finger

Operating Your Tablet PC
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.
Managing Power
3-1
AC Adapter
CAUTION:
z The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only. Connecting
the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.
z 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.
z 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.
z 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.
3-2
Managing Power
Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet PC. It is
rechargeable using the AC adapter.
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.
NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the
“Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter 7.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE:
z Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is above 50 qC (122 qF)
or below 2 qC (28 qF); the charging process will stop if the battery’s
temperature gets above 60 qC (140 qF) or below 4 qC (25 qF). To avoid
damaging the battery under this situation, disconnect the AC adapter
and wait for the battery to return to room temperature before charging
again.
z During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery
has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged
battery.
To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an
electrical outlet. The Battery Charge 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.
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the Li-Ion battery pack at a
room temperature of 25 qC (77 qF) (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.
Managing Power
3-3
NOTE: 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.
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.
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, click
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. When the battery pack is not installed in the
Tablet PC and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the
switch with a pointed device to see the corresponding value of indicator
segment that light green.
Switch
The value of the corresponding green segment indicates the relative
percentage of the battery charge. The battery pack is fully discharged when
you see no segment glowing green.
3-4
Managing Power
Backup Battery
Your Tablet PC comes with a backup battery to support hot swapping of the
main battery pack. The backup battery can sustain power for up to 3
minutes, which should be long enough for you to replace the battery pack.
Whenever you remove the main battery pack, the system instantly switches
to the backup battery. During this period, the system operation is not
interrupted but the brightness level will be fixed at a low level and cannot
be adjusted.
If you turn off the power before removing the main battery pack, the power
remains off (not responding to the press of power button) during the
replacement.
The backup battery will be charged when AC power is connected. Charging
starts when the backup battery capacity is below 85%. If needed, you can
also allow the main battery pack to charge the backup battery. (For setup
information, see “Advanced Menu” in Chapter 5 and the Charging Backup
Battery item.)
NOTE: The backup battery is not user-replaceable. It never functions as the
power source as long as the main battery pack is installed.
Replacing the Battery Pack
CAUTION:
z There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace the battery only with the Tablet PC manufacturer’s battery
packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealer’s instructions.
z Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack.
If you often rely on battery power for a long period of time while traveling,
you may consider the purchase of an additional battery pack from your
dealer and keep it with you in a fully charged state as a backup.
To replace the battery pack, follow these steps:
1. Lift the latch handle of the battery cover and turn it counterclockwise to
the unlock position. Then, detach the cover from the Tablet PC.

Unlock position
2. Remove the two screws if existing (n). Pull on the ribbon strip to lift the
battery pack off the Tablet PC (o).
3. Fit another battery pack into place.
4. Replace the battery cover and turn the latch clockwise to the lock
position.
3-6
Managing Power
Battery Low Signals and Actions
When the battery is low, Windows gives warning messages and the Battery
Charge Indicator ( ) blinks red to alert you.
NOTE: You can set up your threshold and signals of Battery Low under
Windows.
Immediately save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating time
depends on how you are using the Tablet PC.
Always respond to Battery Low by placing your Tablet PC on the Sleep or
Hibernation mode, turning off the Tablet PC, or connecting the AC adapter.
If you do not take any action, the Tablet PC will automatically hibernate and
turn off.
Managing Power
3-7
Power Management
Your Tablet PC supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
for power management. The power management feature allows you to
reduce the power consumption for energy saving.
With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows, power supply to
different Tablet PC components is controlled on an as-needed basis. This
allows maximum power conservation and performance at the same time.
In general, Windows’ power management works in this way:
What...
When...
Power to the hard disk is turned
off
When the hard disk has been idle for a
set period.
Power to the display is turned off
When the display has been idle for a
set period.
The Tablet PC enters the Sleep
mode. The hard disk and display
are turned off and the entire
system consumes less power.
When the entire system has been idle
for a set period.
The Tablet PC enters the
Hibernation mode. (See the next
subsection for more information.)
When you manually activate the mode.
When the entire system has been idle
for a set period.
When you manually activate the mode.
For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help.
3-8
Managing Power
Hibernation
Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many
applications when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these
applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed
before the computer can be turned off.
When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the
applications. The Tablet PC stores the state of your Tablet PC to a file on the
hard disk and then shuts down. The next time you turn on your Tablet PC,
you return to exactly where you left off.
Managing Power
3-9
Power-Saving Tips
Aside from enabling your Tablet PC’s power saving mode (see previous
section), you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by
following these suggestions.
Do not disable Power Management.
Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.
Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB
mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the
optional stylus. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not
using it.
Remove the card (such as PC card and Smart Card) if not using it.
Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module (such
as WLAN, Bluetooth, or WWAN 3G).
Turn off the Tablet PC when you are not using it.

Caring for the Tablet
PC
Taking good care of your Tablet PC will ensure a trouble-free operation and
reduce the risk of damage to your Tablet PC.
This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing,
cleaning, and traveling.
Caring for the Tablet PC
7-1
Protecting the Tablet PC
To safeguard the integrity of your Tablet PC data as well as the Tablet PC
itself, you can protect the Tablet PC in several ways as described in this
section.
Using the Cable Lock
You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your Tablet PC against
theft. The cable lock is available in computer stores.
To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a
table. Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to secure
the lock. Store the key in a safe place.
7-2
Caring for the Tablet PC
Using an Anti-Virus Strategy
You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that
could damage your files.
Using Action Center (for Windows 7)
Action Center alerts you to take action on the following security essentials:
Windows Firewall
Windows Update
Malware Protection (anti-virus, anti-spyware)
Others (Internet security, user account control)
For detailed information, see Windows’ online Help.
Caring for the Tablet PC
7-3
Taking Care of the Tablet PC
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use the Tablet PC where the recommended
temperature is between 0 qC (32 qF) and 55 qC (131 qF).
Avoid placing the Tablet PC in a location subject to high humidity,
extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy
dust. Using 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 Tablet PC on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the Tablet
PC on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by
dropping or hitting may damage the Tablet PC.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the Tablet PC. For
example, do not place the Tablet PC on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the
Tablet PC.
As the Tablet PC can become very hot during operation, keep it away
from objects that are vulnerable to heat.
Keep the Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A
temperature difference of more than 10 qC (18 qF) may cause
condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media.
General Guidelines
7-4
Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC as this may damage
the display.
Caring for the Tablet PC
z
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.
Cleaning Guidelines
Never clean the Tablet PC with its power on.
Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to
wipe the exterior of the Tablet PC.
Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or
detergent on the display.
If water or liquid is split onto the Tablet PC, wipe it dry and clean when
possible. Though your Tablet PC is water-proof, do not leave the Tablet
PC wet when you can dry it.
If the Tablet PC gets wet where the temperature is 0qC (32qF) or below,
freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet Tablet PC.
Battery Pack 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.
Caring for the Tablet PC
7-5
z
Charge the battery pack between 10 qC ~ 30 qC (50 qF ~ 86 qF)
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 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.
7-6
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 qC ~ 50 qC (14 qF ~ 122 qF).
Caring for the Tablet PC
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.
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.
To remove hard to remove dirt, blow some steam on the particular area
and gently wipe away using a soft cloth.
Turn off the Tablet PC power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the
display with the power on may cause improper operation.
Use the touchscreen within the intended area only. The display area and
touchscreen operating area is the same.
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 (less than 5 oC) may cause
a slower response time, this is normal. A normal response time may be
