Chapter 5: Frequently Used Settings Chapter 5: Frequently Used Settings 5.1 Screen Resolution Scaling and Setting The M101’s 1920 x 1200 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 1920 x 1200. This section will explain how you can adjust the built-in windows display scaling setting and resolution setting. Note: The Tablet computer is shipped with display scaling set at Larger - 150%. 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. 5.1.1 Changing Display Scaling (Recommended) Perform the following to change display scaling setting: 1.

The user may now use the device with the new resolution setting. 53 54 Rugged Windows Tablet M101P 5.2 Replacing Battery The M101P Tablet supports hot-swap, meaning the tablet doesn’t need to be powered off to replace the main battery. To support hotswap, there is a backup battery inside the tablet that is charged together with the main battery. This battery cannot be removed, and requires adequate power for main battery hot swapping. When the backup battery is fully charged, the tablet can sustain up to 5 minutes of runtime for battery hot-swapping. Perform the following to hot swap the batteries: 1. Power on the tablet, open Hottab to check the power level of the Backup battery. 2. If the Backup battery level is “Low”, please charge the tablet with AC Power until the Backup battery level is “Medium” or “High”, and do not remove the main battery. 3. If the Backup battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, you can remove the main battery. 4. Insert a new fully charged battery into the battery compartment. 5. Pen Hottab to check Main battery level. If the battery level is displayed incorrect, check if the new removable battery is inserted properly. 6. If the battery level displayed correct, continue using the tablet. Caution: Charge the built-in back-up battery every two months to keep battery health and prevent possible issues from battery over-discharge.
