Warnings
Make all necessary connections before powering unit on. Failure to do so may
make the unit appear as if it is not functioning properly.
Mount the thin client in its vertical orientation for best performance. If it is necessary
to mount the unit horizontally, make sure the unit is properly ventilated.
Improper mounting can cause the unit to overheat and become damaged.
Do not shut the thin client down by removing the power cord. Loss of power
can damage the unit.
It is important to not interrupt the power to the thin client while executing a
firmware upgrade. Loss of power can result in a damaged operating system.
Do not place anything on or over the terminal.
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the earphones and head-
phones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure level.
Power adapter: Au-7991n
Lithium battery Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufac-
turer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not remove cover, no user serviceable components inside. Take unit to service
center for repairs and servicing.

Quick Start Guide
version1

System Start
Two local user accounts exist on the system:
Admi istrator – The default password is Administrator (case sensitive)
User – By default, there is no password required for this account.
The thin client automatically logs in as the “User” account. In order to log in as the
“Administrator”, you must first gain access to the Window XP Logon screen.
There are two ways to do this:
Alternative Desktop Computing
During User Logoff
While logged in as “User,” select
“Start Menu -> Log Off.”
You will receive a small window
prompt asking you to confirm.
Hold the Shift key as you press
the Log Off button.
You will now be presented with
the Windows XP Logon screen.
During System Bootup
As the unit is booting the
Windows OS, hold down the Shift
key. This will bypass the automatic
login and present you with the
Windows XP Logon screen.
You may now choose to login with
the Administrator or User account
-OR-
Hold the Shift key during bootup or logoff to access the Logon Screen

Dual Monitors
You can attach two monitors to the TC5c by using the supplied DVI Video Splitter Cable.
With the unit turned off, attach the splitter to the DVI port of the terminal.
Connect the monitors to the other ends of the cable and then power on
the terminal.
Use the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator utility to choose extended desktop.
This can be found by right-clicking the mouse anywhere on the Windows
Desktop and then selecting “Graphics Properties ...”
Make sure that the two displays selected are “Digital Display” and “Monitor”.
Ignore the third option called, “Notebook”, if it should appear.
On the left-hand side of the window, select “Display Settings” to change the
resolution, color depth, rotation, and power settings for the attached monitors.
FBWF Manager
The FBWF (File Based Write Filter) operates by providing a “shadow write” to the
system RAM. When enabled, any writes that are normally written to the storage
media, are instead redirected to the
RAM overlay. During a reboot, this
overlay is discarded, so the operating
system remains in its original state.
As the name implies, FBWF is based
on files. This means you can exclude
certain files and directories from the
protection of the write filter. Any
files that are in this list are ignored
by FBWF and subject to modification
(or deletion) just as they normally
would in any standard Windows XP
environment.

Alternative Desktop Computing
WES - Instructions for TC5c Terminals Running WES (continued)
FBWF Manager (continued)
The TC5c includes a management utility for configuring FBWF. Only Administrators
can access this utility.
To ope the FBWF Ma ager:
Log in as Administrator.
Choose “Start Menu -> All Programs -> FBWFGUI”
This will open the FBWF Manager window.
By default, FBWF is in an enabled state, with basic exclusions set for the “Persistent
Registry” and “Documents and Settings” for all users. This means any changes made
under the “C:\Documents and Settings” folder, such as desktop icons, start menu
items, and browser favorites, will be written directly to the flash device immediately
and without overlay protection.
Installing Additional Software
You may install third party licensed software as long as there is adequate space on
the flash media. This section describes the recommended procedure for using FBWF
to permanently install additional software applications:
Login as Administrator and select “Start Menu -> All Programs -> FBWFGUI”
Temporarily disable the write filter by clicking the Disable FBWF button, then
press the Apply button.
Reboot the terminal.
Login again as Administrator and install the new software.
After installation, verify the application is working as expected.
Launch the FBWF Manager and click the Enable FBWF button. Also, make sure to
re-enable the Basic Exclusions. For default exclusions, this would mean selecting
the buttons for Enabled Documents and Settings for Everyone and the
Enabled Persistent Registry buttons.
Click the Apply button and Reboot the terminal one last time.

you to connect to Microsoft Windows Terminal Servers. The Citrix ICA client is used
to establish connections to Citrix Presentation and XenApp servers. The VMware
View client allows you to connect to a VMware View server, which in turn, provides
the end-user with their own virtual desktop session. Lastly, you may create a Fire-
fox Web Browser connection to surf the web. This can be used for several purposes:
