Step 2: Connecting the Ultra-Mobile PC to an External Power

Source

Locate the AC adapter and the power cord. Plug the power cord

securely into the AC adapter. Plug the AC adapter’s connection

cable into the “DC Power In” port on the top of the tablet. Once

Chapter 01: Getting Started 5

the adapter plug is securely in place, plug the power cord into an

external power socket.

NOTE: When you ﬁrst connect the tablet into an external power

source, the battery charge indicator will begin to glow amber. When

the battery is fully charged the indicator will turn green. See the

section entitled Battery Care for tips on maximizing battery life and

performance.

Step 3: Connecting Applicable Peripherals and Networking Cables

If you would like to use any external peripheral with the tablet

(i.e. USB mouse, USB keyboard, etc.) or are planning to connect

to the Internet and/or a corporate LAN using a wired connection

(RJ45) as opposed to wirelessly, connect the external peripheral

now. See the chapter entitled Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile PC, to

identify which ports to use.

IMPORTANT: When you power on the a7330T for the ﬁrst time, you

will need to have an external USB keyboard connected in order to

complete the Windows XP Professional installation routine. The

a7330D can use the on-screen keyboard in Active Digitizer mode.

Step 4: Powering on the eo Ultra-Mobile PC

Locate the three power switches on the top on the tablet. The

switch is the computer’s main power toggle. Slide it to the

right and hold it there until it emits a blue glow (about 1-2

seconds) and then release it. The eo Ultra-Mobile PC will now

boot up.

6 Chapter 01: Getting Started

Step 5: Completing the Operating System Installation

When your system powers on for the ﬁrst time, Windows will

have a few questions for you to answer in order to localize your

installation.

NOTE: You’ll need a USB keyboard connected to your a7330T in order

to answer some of the questions that require text input. You can use

the on-screen keyboard with your a7330D in Active Digitizer mode.

Refer to your operating system’s manual for information on any

of the questions you are unsure how to answer.

Interacting with the Active Digitizer and/or Touch Screen

Unlike a standard laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational

activities on an Ultra-Mobile PC are completed using the stylus

pen, or even your ﬁngers if using the touch screen. The screen

will react to the pen diﬀerently depending on whether you are

using the Touch Screen mode or the Active Digitizer mode.

Touch Screen mode

Navigating with a touch screen is diﬀerent from navigating with

a mouse. The pen will interact with the computer whenever you

touch it to the screen.

Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen.

Instead of sliding the pen around the screen, just tap on what

you want to interact with. Sliding the pen while lightly touching

the tip to the screen will move the on-screen pointer around as

if you were using a mouse and holding down the left mouse

button. In other words, you would be performing what is known

as a drag operation.

Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to the touch,

resting your hand on the screen while using the pen might make

the pointer react unpredictably.

TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with

the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead

of the tip of the pen.

Chapter 01: Getting Started 7

Tapping lightly on the screen will perform a standard left mouse

button click. Holding the tip of the pen against the screen with-

out moving it for about a second or so will perform a standard

right mouse button click.

Active Digitizer mode (a7330D only)

The eo a7330D dual mode screen is auto-sensing. The screen will

default to touch screen mode until is senses that the stylus pen

is near the screen. Once the pen is close enough to the screen to

be detected, the eo a7330 will automatically switch to digitizer

mode.

Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen.

Place the tip of the stylus just above the screen and move it

around. The pointer should follow the tip of the pen. In this

mode your hand may rest on the screen, since this will not aﬀect

the behavior of the pointer.

TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with

the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead

of the tip of the pen.

Tapping lightly on the screen with the tip of the stylus will

perform a standard left mouse click. If you want to perform a

right mouse click, press and hold down the tip of the stylus

lightly on the screen. In a moment, an animated icon will draw

around the pointer. Lift the stylus from the screen to complete

the button press.

NOTE: Animated

cues, or ﬂoating

tablet tips, will

only appear in the

Active Digitizer

mode if your Sahara

Slate PC is running

Windows XP

Tablet PC Edition or

Windows Vista.

Chapter 02: Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile PC 9

The eo a7330 Ultra-Mobile PC features a number of physical

characteristics designed to help you work as eﬃciently as

possible. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the controls

and Input/ Output (I/O) ports on the faces and sides of the

computer. Understanding the layout of the system will help you

use your eo a7330 more eﬃciently while in the ﬁeld or on-the-go.

Chapter 02

Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile PC

The eo a7330T features a resistive touch screen,

while the eo a7330D features an all new auto-switching,

dual mode digitizer/touch screen by Wacom that is also

sunlight viewable.

Control Applet.

Chapter 02: Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile PC 11

4. Auto-Switching Dual Mode Screen (a7330D only)

Screen mode is set to Touch Screen by default. When the

stylus pen’s writing tip is within sensing distance—approxi-

mately 12-15mm—the screen will automatically switch to

Active Digitizer mode. When the pen’s writing tip is moved

away from the screen, it will switch back to Touch Screen

mode. When in Digitizer mode, the screen is not sensitive

to touch (except by the stylus pen’s writing tip), and thus

resting your hand on the screen while writing or navigating

will have no inﬂuence on the pointer’s position.

4. Passive Resistive Touch Screen (a7330T only)

Touch Screen is responsive to touch by any object, as the

screen’s sensors react purely to pressure, as opposed to a

magnetic tip or electrical conduction. Resting your hand

on the screen while writing or navigating may aﬀect the

pointer’s position.

Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care 19

Depending on your system’s conﬁguration and your application

usage, a fully charged Lithium-Ion main battery should allow

you to run your eo Ultra-Mobile PC for 4 ~ 5 hours. Add the

secondary Lithium Polymer battery and you could see more than

7 hours of runtime.

Operations that will signiﬁcantly reduce battery life include, but

are not limited to, the following:

1. Using external bus-powered USB optical, ﬂoppy and hard

disk drives

2. Using wireless communications devices, including the

internal wireless networking card, optional 3G data module

Bluetooth adapter, or bus powered USB devices.

3. Using high-brightness display settings, 3D screen savers, or

other computationally intensive programs such as games,

media players and 3D graphics applications.

4. Running the computer in maximum performance mode.

5. Using the computer in overly-hot environmental conditions.

Using the Battery for the First Time

Before using the computer on battery power for the ﬁrst time,

the battery should be charged for at least four hours. Also, the

Smart Battery IC within the battery pack should be calibrated in

order to get an accurate reporting of the remaining battery life.

Chapter 03

Battery Usage and Care

20 Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care

To calibrate the battery pack, follow these steps:

1. Turn the computer oﬀ. Connect the AC adapter and let the

battery fully recharge.

2. Disconnect the AC adapter and power on the computer.

Let the battery run down until it is so low that the battery

charge light turns red and the system automatically enters

the Suspend mode.

3. Reconnect the AC adapter, let the battery fully recharge and

then run the computer with the external power still con-

nected for at least ﬁve (5) continuous hours.

The battery pack should now be properly calibrated. If you ﬁnd

that battery life doesn’t correspond to the battery status as

reported by your operating system, repeat steps 2 -3 again.

If after performing a calibration for a second time you still ﬁnd

you are having a problem with the battery life, contact your

dealer and arrange for a replacement. The battery may be

defective.

In general, using the battery until the “Battery Low” warning

indicator appears and then fully recharging the battery (full

discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accuracy of the battery

status gauge.

If you ﬁnd you are using the computer almost exclusively

attached to an external power source, calibrating at least once a

month is recommended.

Charging the Battery Under Typical Conditions

When you connect the computer to an electrical outlet, the

Smart Battery IC in the battery pack checks the battery’s charge

and temperature. If charging is necessary, the battery indicator

on the front of the eo a7330 will glow amber and the AC adapter

will automatically charge the battery.

Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care 21

When fully charged, the battery indicator will change to green

and the battery’s charge will be maintained while connected to

the external power source. When the computer is disconnected

from the electrical outlet, the battery indicator will turn oﬀ.

NOTE: The time to fully recharge the battery is approximately 90 ~ 100

minutes when the computer is powered oﬀ. The time to fully recharge

the battery when the computer is in use varies according to the power

requirements of the operations that the computer is performing while

charging.

Problems Charging the Battery

Environmental conditions can aﬀect the ability of the computer

to charge the battery. If the battery is too hot from either being

used in your computer or being exposed to an overly hot

environment, the battery may not charge when you connect the

computer to an electrical outlet.

If this occurs, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet

and allow it and the battery to cool to room temperature. Then

reconnect the computer to an electrical outlet to continue

charging the battery.

Battery Status

Both Windows XP and Windows Vista have an applet in the

Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows taskbar

indicating when the computer is running on battery power or is

attached to the AC adapter.

This applet also displays a meter that indicates approximately

how much of a charge is remaining in the battery.

Low Battery Warnings

A beeping sound will be heard once to alert you to a “Battery

Low” status. The Battery LED indicator will begin to ﬂash red.

When the battery’s power level drops to a “Battery Very Low”

status the beeping sound will be heard every second.

22 Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care

When this continuous beeping occurs, your battery has only

approximately one to two minutes of charge left. You should

save what you are working on and plug in the AC power adapter

to avoid potential data loss.

When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the

computer will suspend its current state to the hard drive and

power oﬀ. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the computer back on

to resume your work.

About Battery Pack Usage

Over time, even with proper care, battery performance (the time

the battery can operate the computer before needing to be

recharged) will decrease. Depending on how often the battery

is used, how many times it has been charged and the conditions

under which it is used, you may need to purchase a new battery

during the life of your computer.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, only use replacement batteries recom-

mended by TabletKiosk. To prevent the loss of data when the system

loses power, do not remove the main battery pack while the power is

on unless attached to an external power source. If you must hot swap,

both battery packs must be attached to the eo a7330, and we recom-

mend putting the system into a sleep or hibernation state.

NOTE: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When your

battery no longer holds a charge, call your local waste disposal or

environmental agency for advice on disposing of a lithium-ion or

Lithium Polymer battery.

Real Time Clock Battery

In order to maintain certain system information while the power

is oﬀ, the motherboard contains a small built-in battery pack that

constantly supplies power to the system.

If the computer is left without a power source for long periods

of time, this battery can be exhausted and system information

will be lost. This will not aﬀect any of your data stored on the

computer’s hard drive, but rather the settings in the BIOS that

tell the computer how to operate. It is recommended, therefore,

Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care 23

that if you plan to store the computer for a long time you

periodically attach the battery pack, plug in the computer to an

external power source and allow the battery to recharge.

If you ﬁnd out, after removing the computer from storage, that

you have lost this system information, by receiving a BIOS error

when you boot up for the ﬁrst time, contact your dealer or visit

TabletKiosk’s website at www.tabletkiosk.com to obtain the

proper BIOS settings.

Storing a Battery

When storing your computer for an extended period of time, it is

recommended that you remove the battery pack and store it in

a dry, cool location (Do not freeze). Also, we recommend storing

the battery with a 40 - 50% charge.

If you store the battery when it is fully discharged, it is possible

that the battery could fall into a deeply discharged state. This

can cause the battery to loose its ability to hold any charge at all.

Conversely, storing a fully charged battery can cause damage to

the storage cells rendering its total charge capacity to become

prematurely diminished.

Since a smart Lithium-Ion battery slowly discharges during

prolonged storage, you should fully recharge the battery before

you use it again. Additionally, you should consider periodically

charging and discharging a battery in long term storage to

promote optimal battery performance and life.

TIP: If storing the batteries for a long period of time, we recommend

charging and discharging the Lithium-Ion main battery every 1 - 2

months, while we recommend every 2 -3 months for the Lithium

Polymer secondary battery. Remember to bring the charge level to

approximately 40 - 50% capacity before replacing into storage.

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 25

While your eo a7330 Ultra-Mobile PC is a versatile, mobile com-

puter capable of accomplishing all the same tasks as a netbook,

and running most all the same applications as standard laptops

and desktop PCs, there are some diﬀerences in the way that you

interact with Windows using a stylus pen, or your ﬁngers, as op-

posed to a mouse and keyboard. This chapter contains tips and

details to get the most from your eo a7330 while using Windows.

Navigating with the Stylus Pen

With an Ultra-Mobile PC, you use a stylus pen or your ﬁngers in-

stead of a mouse to interact directly with objects on your screen.

You can open, move, edit and delete items — such as icons, ﬁles,

windows and more — with easy-to-use basic functions similar to

those performed with a mouse.

Stylus Pen Action Equivalent Mouse Action

Point Point

Tap Click

Double-tap Double-click

Press and hold Right-click

Drag Drag

Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen.

Instead of sliding the pen around on the screen, just tap on

what you want to interact with. In digitizer mode (a7330D only),

moving the stylus pen’s tip just above the screen will cause the

Chapter 04

Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

26 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

pointer to follow along similarly to how it behaves when moving

a mouse. Sliding the pen while lightly touching the tip to the

screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were

using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button. In

other words, you would be performing what is known as a drag

operation.

Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to the touch,

resting your hand on the screen while using the stylus pen might

make the pointer react unpredictably. Actually, this is only true

with the eo a7330T, as when using the stylus pen with an eo

a7330D the screen will automatically switch to digitizer mode

which is not touch sensitive except to the pen’s tip.

It is also important to note that some of the context-sensitive

features of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and Windows Vista,

such as the ﬂoating Input panel icon, will only function when

you are using the pen and your eo a7330D is in Active Digitizer

mode.

Touch Screen Settings and Calibration

Wacom’s “Touch Settings” Control Panel allows you to custom-

ize the way your touch screen behaves as well as calibrate the

screen for more accurate input.

1. Go to the START Menu and tap on

“Control Panel” in the right hand

column.

2. From the Control Panel window,

double-tap on the “Touch Settings”

icon to open the control panel.

Right-Click Emulation

You can enable and disable the “Right-Click” emulation by

tapping the check box in the “Press-and-Hold-to-Right-Click”

section, as well as set the duration that you must hold before a

“Right-Click” is performed by adjusting the slider.

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 27

Touch Screen Behavior

The following check

boxes will alter the way

that the touch screen

behaves. These options

have no aﬀect on how

the screen behaviors

when in digitizer mode

(a7330D only).

Enable Touch

The “Enable Touch”

check box allows you

to enable and disable

the touch screen.

NOTE: a7330T owners should be careful, for if you disable the touch

screen you will need to attach a keyboard or mouse in order to

navigate and interact with your system. a7330D users can still use the

digitizer. This essentially turns the a7330D into a pen only system.

Hide Cursor

The “Hide Cursor” check box will hide and show the mouse

pointer when interacting with the touch screen. When this

feature is enabled, the cursor will not be visible when in touch

mode. This is handy for using your system as a button driven

touch screen kiosk or controller.

NOTE: a7330D users, when the proximity of the stylus pen’s tip auto-

switches the screen to digitizer mode, the cursor will appear. Tap on

the screen with something other than the pen’s tip to return to touch

screen mode and re-hide the pointer.

Touch Sound

The “Touch Sound” check box will enable an audible beep to be

produced when the touch screen registers an input. This can be

helpful for supplying kiosk customers or a remote controller user

some feedback to let them know that their input was accepted

(i.e. a button press was registered, etc.).

28 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

Calibrating the Touch Screen

Tapping the “Calibrate...” button will initiate the system’s touch

screen calibration routine. Simply follow the instructions that

appear on screen and tap the center of the targets with your

ﬁnger. When done, tap the “Finished” button to accept your

calibration input and exit, tap “Try Again” to redo the calibration

routine, or tap “Cancel” to quit without saving the new calibra-

tion information.

TIP: A quick way to access the both the Touch Screen and Digitizer

(a7330D only) calibration routine is to use the “Pen” screen in the

“Panel Control Center”. Simply press and hold on the icon in the

system tray to bring up the “Launch Button Quickshow” menu. Tap the

“Conﬁgure...” button to open the Panel Control Center and then tap

the “Pen” button. Tap the “Conﬁgure...” button and choose the input

screen to wish to calibrate.

Digitizer Settings and Calibration (a7330D only)

Wacom’s “Pen Tablet Properties” Control Panel allows you to

customize the behavior of the Stylus Pen as well as calibrate the

digitizer for more accurate input.

1. Go to the START Menu and tap on

“Control Panel” in the right hand

column.

2. From the Control Panel window,

double-tap on the “Pen Tablet

Properties” icon to open the

control panel.

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 29

Pen Tab

The options on this

tab will adjust the

behavior of how

the pen interacts

with the digitizer as

well as how the pen

itself will behave.

Pen Button Action

The button on the

side of the stylus

pen can be pro-

grammed to perform a wide variety of tasks, including a stan-

dard left-button click, a double-click, a right-click, opening the

Tablet PC Input panels (see the section entitled “Entering Text

with the Input Panels” later in this chapter), entering a keyboard

keystroke combination, opening a program, and more.

Pen Tip Options

The “Tip Feel” slider adjusts how much pressure you must apply

to the screen to change the amount of input by the pen. This is

primarily for applications that recognize diﬀerent levels pressure

sensitivity (i.e. the inking pen in Microsoft® OneNote™ or the

paint brush tool in Adobe® Photoshop®).

The “Double-Click Distance” slider adjusts how far apart you can

perform two successive taps and still register a mouse “double-

click” action.

Enable Eraser

Checking this box will switch the options on this tab to support

a stylus pen that has an eraser feature. The stylus that comes

standard with the a7330D does not have such a feature.

30 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

Click Sound

This option is the same as the corresponding feature in the touch

screen settings, except that it will cause the system to make an

audible “clicking” sound when the pen’s tip touches the screen

while in digitizer mode.

Advanced Settings

Tapping on the “Advanced” button opens the “Advanced Set-

tings” window where you can specify how the pen’s side button

will function.

“Hover Click” mode means that in order to perform the action

associated with the pen’s side button, all you have to do is hold

the pen tip near enough to the screen to activate digitizer mode

and then press the button.

“Click & Tap” mode means that in order to perform the action

associated with the pen’s side button, you must ﬁrst press and

hold down the button and then tap on the screen.

Pop-Up Menu Tab

In order to perform

common actions

more quickly and

easily, you can use

the controls on

this tab to create

a custom pop-up

menu, ﬁlled with

whatever entries

you build from the

drop-down of op-

tions, that appears

when you press the

pen’s side button if you set the button’s action to “Pop-up”.

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 31

The sort of actions you can add to the pop-up menu includes

keystroke combinations, opening speciﬁc applications, and

changing the pen’s follow mode between “pen” and “mouse”.

You can also choose the font face and the font size that will

display in the pop-up menu.

Calibrate Tab

This is where you will

ﬁnd the digitizer’s

calibration routine.

Simply tap the

“Calibrate...” button

to start the calibra-

tion. As with the

touch screen, simply

follow the on-screen

instructions and tap

in the center of each

cross that appears on

the screen. When

ﬁnished, you can choose to save and exit the routine, or cancel

and not save when you exit.

The digitizer calibration is very similar to the touch screen calibration.

Touch the center of the crosses when they appear.

32 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 35

Setting the Screen Brightness

The “Brightness” applet, accessible by simply

tapping on the

icon in the System Tray, allows

you to set an overall brightness level for the

display screen. Simply drag the slider down to

dim the display or up to brighten the display. This

control is independent from the sliders in the Intel

Media Accelerator Driver control applet.

Changing Screen Resolution, Color and Rotation

Using the control panel of the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator

Driver, you can enable multi-monitor support, adjust color bal-

ance and gamma, change the screen resolution, enable/ disable

screen rotation and more. This section will get you started with

the control panel. For more detailed information about the

panel’s features, click on the question mark icon located on the

right-hand side of the panel’s title bar.

To access the control panel of the Intel Media Accelerator Driver,

tap on the screen icon located in the Windows system tray.

When the pop-up menu appears, tap on “Graphics Properties…”

to open the panel.

Display Settings

The Display Settings tab holds the controls that aﬀect color

depth, screen resolution and screen rotation. Most of the time

you will probably want to use the default values, but you may

encounter specialized applications where it is advantageous

to lower the screen’s resolution or disable the screen rotation

function.

Display Expansion

By default, the native resolution of the eo a7330’s screen is

1024x600 (16:9 wide screen aspect ratio). The other three screen

resolutions you can change to (640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768)

are standard 4:3 aspect ratios. The “Aspect Ratio Options” panel

36 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

allows you to control how these non-native screen resolutions

will resolve on your display (i.e. stretched or pillar boxed).

Color Correction

The Color Correction tab is where you will ﬁnd the controls that

aﬀect the color balance, brightness and contrast of the display

screen. Use the control sliders to adjust the screen values.

Moving a slider to the left decreases the corresponding value,

moving a slider to the right increases it.

By using the color channel option buttons at the top of the

panel, you can change the RGB color values equally or individu-

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 37

ally. The Gamma control will adjust the screen’s brightness

without aﬀecting the white point or the black point of the

display.

Tap on the “Restore Defaults” button to return the control

settings to their default values. This is useful if you are experi-

menting with the sliders and are unhappy with the results, or if

you decide to make additional changes at a later time and want

to discard your previously-applied settings. Tap on the “Apply”

button to accept your changes, the “Cancel” button to reject the

changes, or the “OK” button to accept the changes and exit the

control panel.

Entering Text with the Input Panels

Complementing Microsoft’s Digital Inking handwriting recogni-

tion technology, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition features input

pads that accept and convert handwriting to text, as well as

provide a more compact and convenient on-screen keyboard.

Tap the “Keyboard” icon located next to the START button on the

Windows Taskbar to display the on-screen keyboard and writing

pads. These input tools allow you to enter information directly

into any application that accepts standard keyboard inputs.

Writing Pad

This pad allows you to enter text on a word-by-word basis. You

write on the lines inside the writing pad just as you would write

on a lined piece of notepaper. When you reach the end of the

line, the pad will expand automatically so you can keep on

writing without having to stop. Windows will convert your

handwriting into text, on the ﬂy, and then insert it in the appro-

priate location when you tap “Insert”.

38 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

Character Pad

This pad accepts input on a character-by-character basis and is

useful for entering information that requires a higher level of

precision, such as passwords, website URLs or e-mail addresses.

When you reach the end of the line, the pad will expand auto-

matically so you can keep on writing without having to stop.

Windows will convert your handwriting into text, on the ﬂy, and

then insert it in the appropriate location when you tap “Insert”.

On-Screen Keyboard

Use it the same way that you would use a standard keyboard. By

tapping on the individual keys with the stylus, text and symbols

can be entered as well as Function Key equivalents and menu

item short cuts.

Tap the <Num> or <Sym> keys to display the “Numeric” and

“Symbol” keypads respectively. Tap <Func> to bring up the

Function keypad.

Tap on the gear icon, on any of the input panels, to display a

menu that you can use to invoke Windows XP Tablet PC Edition’s

speech recognition capabilities, adjust where you want the input

panels to appear on the screen, undock the panel to move it

anywhere on the screen, or open the panels’ “Options” menu.

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 39

Connecting to the Internet

Your eo a7330 allows you to connect to the Internet in a few

diﬀerent ways. The ways vary depending on your networking

environment as well as personal preference and available equip-

ment.

Using a Wireless LAN

The WiFi wireless networking adapter built into your eo a7330 is

compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n (Draft 2.0) wireless networks, and

can therefore connect to wireless routers or access points that

support any of these standards.

1. Turn on the WiFi transmitter

using the toggle switch on the

top of your tablet.

2. In the System Tray, tap on

the Intel PROSet icon and choose

“Conﬁgure WiFi” from the pop-up

menu that appears.

3. When the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility

opens, choose the network from the list that you wish to

connect to and tap the “Connect” button. If no wireless

networks appear after a few moments, tap on the “Refresh”

button located just below the list.

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 41

4. If the wireless network you are attempting to connect to is

security-enabled, you will see a dialog box requesting either

a network key or, if the wireless network supports WiFi

Protected Setup (WPS), a PIN.



Most failures to connect to a wireless network occur because the

network key has been improperly entered. Be very careful when

entering this key. If you do not know the correct key to enter,

or still can’t connect after entering the key properly, contact

your network administrator or the technical support line of your

Internet Service Provider (ISP).

NOTE: If your network access point or router uses WiFi Protected

Set-up, the WPS Wizard will appear on the screen. Choose your access

point from the drop-down list, enter your PIN when prompted. Unless

you need to conﬁgure your access point/router for the ﬁrst time, just

tap on the “No” button when asked. If you entered your PIN properly,

you should see the same pop-up window informing you that you are

connected. Check with your Network Administrator or the instructions

that came with your access point/router for locating the PIN.

42 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

Using a Wired LAN

Another way to connect to the Internet with your eo a7330 is by

a wired LAN environment accessed via the RJ45 port located on

the left side of the a7330 (see the chapter Touring Your eo a7330

for the exact location). Using this method, an Ethernet jack or a

broadband modem must be within the reach of the networking

cable you are using.

1. Connect an Ethernet networking cable into the LAN port of

your eo a7330 and then connect the other end into your

broadband modem or the appropriate LAN port as in-

structed by your network administrator. Most of the time,

you will probably ﬁnd that you are now connected to the

Internet. If not, continue on with step 2.

2. From the START menu,

select “Connect To”

and tap on “Show all

connections”.

3. In the “Network Connections” window, look at the “Local

Area Connection” item and make sure it reads as “Connect-

ed”. If not, recheck that your networking cable is properly

connected, or contact your network administrator.

4. Press and hold the “Local Area Connection” item and select

“Properties” from the pop-up menu that appears, or if the

Status window appears, tap the “Properties” button.

5. Under the General Tab,

you’ll see a list box called

“This connection uses the

following items:”. Select

“Internet Protocol (TCP/

IP)”, and tap the “Proper-

ties” button to open the

“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Properties” window.

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 43

6. If DHCP is used on your

network, tap “Obtain an IP

address automatically” and

“Obtain DNS server address

automatically”. Otherwise,

enter the correct IP and DNS

server addresses by selecting

the two options that begin

with “Use the following…” If

you are unsure of which

option to use, contact your

network administrator or

your ISP’s Tech Support.

7. After entering the correct the information in the “Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” window, tap “OK” to accept

your changes and close the window. Tap “OK” in the “Local

Area Connection Properties” window to ﬁnish.

Using Both DHCP and a Static IP Address

If you are using alternating networks with either DHCP or static

IP addressing, you can use alternative settings that will enable

simultaneous conﬁgurations of both DHCP and a static IP. This

will allow you to connect to both of the networks without having

to reconﬁgure each time you want to switch.

1. Follow steps 1 through 7

above when using a wired

LAN connection.

2. Tap on the “Alternate

Conﬁguration” tab

and select the “User

conﬁgured” option. Enter

the correct values in

the appropriate ﬁelds. If

you are unsure of which

values or options to use,

44 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

contact your network administrator or the technical support

line of your ISP.

When you have completed the entire conﬁguration, tap “OK” to

accept the settings and close the panel.

Bluetooth® Wireless Connectivity

Bluetooth® is a short-range wireless technology you can use to

transfer data between your eo a7330 and other wireless devices

that use Bluetooth, such as wireless keyboards and mice, cell

phones, PDAs and even printers. Bluetooth-enabled devices can

communicate with each other, without cables, up to a distance

of approximately 30 feet.

NOTE: The wireless range can be shortened from interference caused

by other wireless devices and/or by walls made of dense building

materials.

Some of the activities available with Bluetooth wireless con-

nectivity are:

Using a wireless keyboard, such as TabletKiosk’s Bluetooth

Folding Keyboard, to enter data on your eo a7330.

Connecting to your Bluetooth-capable cell phone to access

the Internet and surf the web or download your e-mail.

Setting up a Personal Area Network (PAN) to transfer ﬁles

between your eo a7330 and another computer without the

need of using Ethernet cables or even an existing wireless

network.

Print to a Bluetooth-enabled printer from across the room

without connecting any cables.

Bluetooth Device Registration and Pairing

Diﬀerent types of Bluetooth devices require slightly diﬀerent

procedures to register and pair them properly. Generally, to

connect your eo a7330 to a Bluetooth enabled device:

Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows 45

1. Turn on the Bluetooth

transmitter using the

on your screen into

your Bluetooth device

46 Chapter 04: Using Your eo a7330 with Windows

and, if applicable, hit <Enter> or <OK> on the Bluetooth

device to commit the entry.

NOTE: Check “Share authentication information among all users”, if

you want all user accounts on the system to have access to the

Bluetooth device. Leave this unchecked if you want only your user

account to be able to connect to the Bluetooth device.

7. Your device should

now be connected to

your eo a7330. If any

advanced settings are

required, you will be

prompted to enter

them. When complete,

you should be returned

to the Bluetooth

application screen and

your device should be

listed.

If you have trouble connecting, make sure you completed the

above steps in the time period that your Bluetooth device is in

pairing mode. If your device exits pairing mode before you can

connect, re-enable it and, depending on the state of the connec-

tion process, redo any applicable steps.

NOTE: Once a device has been registered, you usually won’t need to

window upon system start-up, just place your device into pairing

mode and it should connect automatically. If you do not wish to

automatically connect a Bluetooth device at start-up, you can check

the “Don’t show this windows next time” check box and tap the

“Cancel” button.

For more information about conﬁguring and using the Bluetooth

Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330 49

Chapter 05

Securing Your eo a7330

Your eo a7330 is equipped with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

that, when used in conjunction with specialized software, can

help you better secure your data from intruders.

Used in conjunction with specialized security management

software, a TPM oﬀers facilities for generating cryptographic

keys—as well as the ability to limit the use of such keys for

authentication or encryption/decryption— and also random

numbers. Typical use for such encryption would be to prevent

unauthorized access to the data stored on your hard drive.

The TPM can also be used to authenticate a speciﬁc hardware

device for use in platform authentication. For example, the TPM

can be used to verify the authenticity of a speciﬁc hardware

system for secured access.

This chapter will get you started by enabling the TPM for use

with your security software management system.

BIOS Settings

To take advantage of the enhanced security features of the

Trusted Computing Platform, you must ﬁrst enable it in the

tablet’s BIOS.

IMPORTANT: A USB keyboard must be attached to the eo a7330T prior

to powering on the system in order to enter and navigate the a7330’s

BIOS. The a7330D does not require a keyboard.

50 Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330

1. Power on or restart the eo a7330. As soon as the TabletKiosk

logo screen appears, tap on the screen with the stylus pen

(a7330D only) or hit the key on the keyboard to bring

up the SecureCore System Menu. From the menu, choose

“Launch System Setup” to enter the BIOS.

NOTE: Alternatively, you can also press the third function button on

the right side of the tablet when you see the TabletKiosk logo screen

to open the SecureCore menu.

2. When the BIOS Menu appears, tap on “Security” or press the

right arrow key on the keyboard to open to the menu screen.

3. If the TPM Support setting is set to “Disabled”, either tap on

it, or use the down arrow key to highlight the “TPM Support”

option and press to change it to “Enabled”.

4. Tap on “TPM State” at the top of the screen, or hit the right

arrow key on your keyboard to enter the menu screen.

5. If the Current TPM State reads “Disabled and Deactivated”,

tap on the “Change TPM State” option, or press , until it

changes to “Enable & Activate”.

6. Tap on the “Exit” menu item at the top of the screen and tap

on “Exit Saving Changes” or just press the key to save

changes to the BIOS and restart the computer.

NOTE: If at any point you wish to clear the TPM module’s information

and return the eo a7330 to its original “unowned” state, go back to the

“TPM State” menu and tap on the “Change TPM State” option or press

until it reads “Clear”. When you save changes and exit the BIOS

the TPM will be cleared.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you lose your password and decide to clear the

TPM, know that you will forever lose access to any data on the hard

drive that is encrypted using the TPM’s current encryption key. Make

sure that any data you wish to access in the future has been backed up

in an unencrypted form before clearing the TPM. Also, if you decide

to disable and deactivate the TPM, you will lose access to any data

currently encypted by the TPM until you reactivate it.

Creating a Windows Login Password

If you didn’t choose to do so during the initial setup procedure,

the ﬁrst step in securing your sensitive information is creating a

Windows login password.

Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330 51

Creating the Password In Windows XP

1. Go to the START Menu and tap on “Control Panel”.

2. In the Control Panel window that appears, tap on “User

Accounts” under “Pick a category”.

3. Look under “or pick an account to change” and select your

user account by tapping on it.

4. Tap on “Create a password”. Enter a password and then

conﬁrm it. Enter a password hint if you wish and then tap on

“Create Password” to accept your password.

Creating the Password In Windows Vista

1. Go to the START Menu and tap on “Control Panel”.

2. In the Control Panel window that appears, tap on the “User

3. Under the User Accounts category, tap on “Change your

Windows password”.

4. From the “Make changes to your user account” screen, tap

on “Create a password for your account”.

Tap on “Create a Password”

to enter a new password.

This is an important step in

securing your data.

Make sure to keep your

password in a safe location

and do not lose it.

52 Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330

5. Tap on the text input ﬁeld labeled “New Password” in the

window that opens and then enter a password of your

choice. Tap in the “Conﬁrm new password” ﬁeld and enter

it again exactly the same way. You may enter a hint in the

“Type a password hint” if you so choose.

6. Tap the “Create password” button when you are satisﬁed

with your password choice to commit the change.

It’s important when setting up a user account to manage the

security settings on the tablet that the user account be granted

administrator privileges. A standard user can still take advantage

of the protections provided by the TPM, just not mange it.

Contact your IT support staﬀ for more information on user

privileges and how to assign them.

Setting Ownership of the TPM

After initializing the TPM functionality in the BIOS, the next step

to securing your eo a7330 is to establish yourself as the tablet’s

owner.

Make sure to keep

your password in

a safe location and

do not lose it.

Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330 53

IMPORTANT: Once you have set ownership of the TPM, it is vital that

you store your password in a secure location and take care never to

lose it. If you do, you will not be able to access the data you protected/

encrypted using your security management software.

Windows XP Professional

As Windows XP lacks native support for TPM management, you

will need to acquire a third party TPM security management

application to take advantage of its capabilities.

Install and conﬁgure the TPM security management software

package of your choice and then refer to the user manual that

accompanied the software for information on how to accom-

plish this important task.

Windows Vista

To set ownership of the TPM:

NOTE: To perform the following procedure, you must be logged on to

your eo a7330 with administrator privileges.

1. Go to the START Menu and tap on “All Programs > Acces-

sories > Run” to open the “Run” dialog box.

2. In the “Open” ﬁeld, enter “tpm.msc” (without the quotes)

and tap “OK” to open the TPM Management Console (TPM

MC). Tap to proceed if the Windows UA prompt appears.

The TPM Management Console is where you initialize the TPM to set

the ownership, turn on and oﬀ the TPM as well as clear the TPM.

54 Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330

If you followed the steps in the BIOS Settings section earlier

in this chapter, the TPM MC should show the status of the

TPM as “on” but “not owned”. If the TMP MC shows that you

don’t have a compatible TPM or that it is not on, you either

skipped the steps above or didn’t successfully save the

settings in the BIOS.

3. In the “Actions” column

on the right side panel

of the TPM MC, tap on

“Initialize TPM...”.

4. On the “Create the

TPM owner password”

page, tap “Automati-

cally create the password

(recommended)” to have

Windows generate your

password automatically,

or “Manually create the

password” to input your

own.

5. After your password has

been created or entered,

tap “Save the password”

to save a .tpm password

ﬁle you can use to make

changes to the TPM

settings in the future.

6. In the “Save As” dialog

box, select a location

to save the password,

and then tap “Save”. The

password ﬁle is saved as

computer_name.tpm.

IMPORTANT: It is highly

recommend that you save

the TPM owner password to

removable media.

Chapter 05: Securing Your eo a7330 55

7. Click “Print the password” if you want to print a hard copy of

your password.

IMPORTANT: It is highly recommend that you print a hard copy of your

TPM owner password and store it in a safe location.

8. Click “Initialize” to

conﬁrm and set the

ownership.

NOTE: The process of initial-

izing the TPM might take a

few minutes to complete,

so be patient. You will be

informed when the process

is complete.

9. Click “Close” to return

back to the TPM MC

main screen.

CAUTION: Do not lose your

password. If you do, you will

be unable to make changes

to your TPM that require

the owner password unless

you ﬁrst clear the TPM. Once

cleared, all data protected

by the original password will

become unavailable.

To learn more about using the TPM, including turning oﬀ the

TPM and clearing the TPM, see the Help articles in the “Links &

Step 2: Booting the eo a7330 to the Recovery Application on the

System Restore Disc:

1. Power up your eo a7330 Ultra-Mobile PC.

2. If your drive has an existing partition (overwriting existing

OS): When prompted, press any key to boot to the recovery

DVD.

If your drive doesn’t have an existing partition (new drive no

OS): It will automatically load the recovery application.

3. Select the “Tools” Button and then the “Reset Partition”

Button to continue.

4. Enter the partition size you wish to create for your OS. In

general, you should use the number from the “Free Space”

box as this will provide you with the largest system partition

possible.

5. Select the File System desired: FAT32 or NTFS. Click “Next”

to continue. (We recommend NTFS unless you require Windows

95/98/ME compatibility.)

6. Select “OK” to proceed with partition creation.

7. Select “OK” if you understand that this process will

PERMANENTLY DELETE ALL OF THE EXISTING DATA ON

THE HARD DRIVE.

8. Select “OK” once the drive has been partitioned and then

“Cancel” to return to the main menu.

9. Select the “Restore Now!” Button.

10. Select “OK” to prepare the partition you created above, and

then select “OK” again to restore the operating system.

11. Select “Quit” once the restore process completes to reboot

your eo a7330.

Chapter 06: Troubleshooting 65

12. Immediately eject the DVD or unplug the USB DVD drive

from your eo a7330 so the system will reboot from the

restored hard drive.

Recovering Your System with the Windows® XP Professional or

Tablet PC Edition System Restore Disc:

IMPORTANT: This process is destructive to the data stored on your

hard drive. All existing data will be lost. It is vital you back-up any ﬁles

you wish to keep before you proceed.

Step 1: Set up the required hardware:

Plug the USB keyboard and USB mouse into the USB hub and

plug the hub into one of the available USB ports on the tablet.

Plug the USB cable from the DVD drive into the remaining USB

port of the tablet. Make sure that the a230T System Restore Disc

is in the USB DVD drive and that the drive has power and is on.

Step 2: Partitioning the Hard Drive (required for a new Hard

Drive only):

If you are simply attempting to restore your eo a7330 using the hard

drive that came with your system, you can skip this step and proceed

to Step 3.

You will need to use the software that came with your new hard

drive—or another third party program of your choosing that is

designed to partition hard drives—in order to create a primary

system partition to house the restored OS.

NOTE: At a minimum, any bootable disc containing Microsoft’s

“FDISK.EXE” utility should be suﬃcient. If you attempt to start the

restore utility before successfully partitioning the drive, the Windows

installer will crash with a B.S.O.D. displaying a “STOP: 0x07” error.

Step 3: Booting the eo a7330 to the Recovery Application:

1. Power up your eo a7330 Tablet PC.

2. It will start from the DVD and automatically load the recov-

ery application.

3. Select “OK” to proceed with partition creation.

66 Chapter 06: Troubleshooting

4. Select “OK” if you understand that this process will

PERMANENTLY DELETE ALL OF THE EXISTING DATA ON

THE HARD DRIVE.

5. Select “Quit” once the restore process completes to reboot

your eo a7330.

6. Immediately eject the DVD or unplug the USB DVD drive

from your eo a7330 so the system will reboot from the

restored hard drive.

NOTE: If you do not, or cannot, remove the external drive from your

tablet, make sure to go back into the BIOS upon restart to change the

“1st BOOT” option back to the internal hard drive.

What to do After You Have Restored Your System

When your eo a7330 ﬁrst boots up after a successful system

restoration, it will behave exactly as it did the very ﬁrst time you

turned it on. You will need to ﬁnish the Windows localization

procedure, customize the installation (including the networking

settings) and then reinstall of your applications.

Before reinstalling your applications, we recommend that you

check the Downloads section of the TabletKiosk website for any

drivers or applications that might have been updated after the

installation disc was created.

Lastly, make sure to check the Windows Update site for any new

Important or Critical patches.
