1. Screen Resolution Scaling and Setting
The ALGIZ 8X’s 800x 1280 high resolution display is perfect for viewing image, video, or other
applications, however, Windows user interface (icons, buttons, and other user interface elements) may
be too small to read and operate at the default Windows settings. By changing the display scaling or the
display resolution setting of the device, you can adjust the size of the text and other items on the desktop
for optimal viewing. Display scaling is the recommended method because it has the effect of adjusting
user interface element without having to move away from the optimal resolution setting at 800 x 1280.
This section will explain how you can adjust the built-in windows display scaling setting and resolution
setting.
We recommend the users set the scaling to this setting for optimal text and image viewing.
Before proceeding to change the scaling option, make sure any opened document is saved and
close, and all running applications are closed before proceeding to change the display scaling,
because this procedure requires users to log out of their account to apply display scaling change.
Changing display scaling setting (Recommended)
Perform the following to change display scaling setting:
1. Tap and hold anywhere on the desktop for 3 seconds or tap the Intel HD Graphic Control
Panelshortcut to bring up the context menu, and select “Display” option as shown below:
ALGIZ 8X User’s Manual
2. Click on the dropdown option next to “Resolution” and select the desire resolution by tapping on
the scale:
3. Hit “Apply”. A prompt “Display Settings” prompt will show up to ask the user if the applied
resolution is usable.
4. If the new resolution is the desired display setting hit “Keep changes” and continue to next step. If
the new resolution is not desirable, hit “Revert” and select a different resolution to change to,
and start again from step 2.
5. The user may now use the device with the new resolution setting.

2. Replacing Hot Swappable Battery
The tablet computer supports hot-swapping of batteries, meaning the tablet doesn’t need to be powered
off in order to replace the mainbattery. To support such mechanism, there is a backup battery inside the
tablet that is charged up with the main battery. This backup battery cannot be removed, and needs to
have adequate power for hot swapping of main battery to be done without issue. When the backup
battery is fully charged, it can sustain up to 5 minutes of runtime to allow for battery hot-swapping.
Perform the following to hot swap the batteries:
1. While the tablet is powered on, go to Hottab utility to check on the power level of the Backup
battery.
2. If the Backup battery level is at “Low”, please charge the tablet with AC Power until the Backup
battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, and do not remove the main battery.
3. If the Backup battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, continue to remove the main battery.
4. Insert a new charged up removable battery into the battery compartment.
5. Go to Hottab utility to check if Main battery level can be correctly read. If not, check if the new
removable battery is inserted properly.
6. If Main battery level can be read, continue to use the tablet computer.
Caution
To keep battery health and prevent possible issues from battery over-
discharged, please charge the tablet built-in back-up battery once for
every 2 months.
