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: 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.
Operating Your Tablet PC
2-1
Using the Touchscreen
NOTE:
 The touchscreen function is not available when running the BIOS Setup
program or when using the full screen in DOS mode.
 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 by clicking the CalTouch shortcut on Windows desktop.
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 your finger or
the included stylus. A screen protector film has been attached to the screen
before shipment. The film is a consumable, which will be worn out after a period of
use (6 months in average). You can purchase a new one when replacement is
required.
The screen of your Tablet PC is touch-sensitive. You can control the
location of the cursor/pointer on the screen using your finger or the
included stylus to communicate with the Tablet PC.

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:
 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.
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:
 As a battery protection, charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is
below 2 C (28 F) or above 50 C (122 F) and charging will stop if the
temperature goes below 2 C (28 F) or above 60 C (140 F).
 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 C (77 F) (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.
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.
Managing Power
3-3
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
Replacing the Battery Pack
CAUTION:
 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.
 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. Make sure that the Tablet PC is not turned on or connected to AC
power. (If your model comes with the backup battery option, you can
keep the power on when replacing the 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.)
2. 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
Managing Power
3-5
3. Remove the two screws if existing (). Pull on the ribbon strip to lift the
battery pack off the computer ().
4. Fit another battery pack into place.
5. Replace the battery cover and turn the latch clockwise to the lock
position.
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.
3-6
Managing Power
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 the entire system has been idle
for a set period.
When you manually activate the
mode.
When you manually activate the
mode.
For detailed information on power management, see Windows’ Help.
Managing Power
3-7
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.
3-8
Managing Power
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 or Bluetooth).

Turn off the Tablet PC when you are not using it.

7-4
Caring for the Tablet PC
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 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.
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 (it is recommended that
you set the Charging Mode on the G-Manager utility’s Battery tab to
Economy Mode – see “Charging Mode” in Chapter 6 for details).
– 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 5oC ~ 45oC (41oF ~ 113oF)
temperature range.
A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s
temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed
Caring for the Tablet PC
7-5
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.
Touchscreen Guidelines

7-6
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.
Caring for the Tablet PC

A screen protector film has been attached to the screen before
shipment. The film is a consumable, which will be worn out after a
period of use (6 months in average). You can purchase a new one
when replacement is required.

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

On the Use of the RF Device
NOTE: The information in this section applies to models with the wireless LAN
module.
USA and Canada Safety Requirements and Notices
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter, except in accordance with FCC
multi-transmitter product procedures. This equipment complies with FCC
RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device
was tested for typical laptop operations with the device contacted
directly to the human body to the back side of the tablet computer. To
maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements,
avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna during transmitting.
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements and SAR
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 93-62 has adopted a safety standard
for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC certified equipment. The wireless LAN module meets the
Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1,
1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in
this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s
recommended limits. The following safety precautions should be
observed:

Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or
receiving.

Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the
antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the
antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged.
B-6
Regulatory Information
Use in specific environments:

The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the
constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.

The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).

The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth
by each hospital.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
WARNING: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network
device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment
unless the device has been modified to be qualified for such use.
Use on Aircraft Caution
CAUTION: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of
radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals could interfere with
critical aircraft instruments.
EMC Requirements
This device complies with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to
Part 15 subpart C of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
The FCC limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual and operated in a commercial
environment. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular commercial installation, or if operated in a residential
area.
If harmful interference with radio or television reception occurs when the
device is turned on, the user must correct the situation at the user’s own

expense. The user is encouraged to try one or more of the following
corrective measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: The Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference basis
with other devices operating at this frequency. Any changes or
modification to said product not expressly approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25GHz band to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems.
Therefore, it will only transmit on the 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.725 GHz and
5.725 – 5.850 GHz band when associated with an access point (AP).
Canada Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is
intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide
maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed
outdoors is subject to licensing.
Pour empê cher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant
l'objet d'une licence, il doit ê tre utilisé à l'inté rieur et devrait ê tre placé loin
des fenê tres afin de fournir un é cran de blindage maximal. Si le maté riel
