As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, DT Research Inc. follows the EPA’s product
qualicaon and cercaon process to ensure the products marked with
the ENERGY STAR® logo are ENERGY STAR® qualied for energy eciency.
The ENERGY STAR® program specicaons for computers were to promote
energy eciency and reduce air polluon through more energy-ecient
equipment in homes, oces, and factories. One way products achieve
this goal is by using the Microso Windows power management feature
to reduce power consumpon when the product is not in use. The power
management feature enables the computer to iniate a low-power or
“sleep” mode aer a period of user inacvity.
To take advantage of these potenal energy savings, users should use the
default power management sengs that are provided with ENERGY STAR
qualied computers. The default power management sengs on ENERGY
STAR® qualied computers are preset to behave in the following ways :
• Turn o display aer 10 minutes of user inacvity.
• Iniate a low power sleep mode for the computer aer 30 minutes of
user inacvity.
• Briey press the power buon will bring the computer out of sleep
mode.
Addional informaon on the ENERGY STAR® program, its environmental
benets and the potenal energy and nancial savings of the power
management feature can be found on the EPA ENERGY STAR® Power
Management Web site at hp://www.energystar.gov/powermanagement.

PRECAUTIONS
• Always exercise care when operang and handling the DT301Y/301Q.
• Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
• We recommend using the Digital Pen (oponal) to keep the screen clean.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source.
Wherever possible, the DT301Y/301Q should face away from direct light to
reduce glare.
• If the AC-DC power adapter is used to recharge or power the tablet, do NOT use
any AC-DC adapter other than the one provided or acquired from the manufac-
turer or its partners.
• In the unlikely event that smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present,
immediately power o the DT301Y/301Q and disconnect all power sources.
Report the problem to your device provider immediately.
• Never aempt to disassemble the DT301Y/301Q, as this will void the warranty.
BASIC FEATURES
The DT301Y/301Q rugged tablet integrates a bright display, USB ports, and embedded
networking elements such as wireless LAN or oponal 4G.
A DT301Y/301Q typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that
may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your DT301Y/301Q does not
come with such a network adapter, please consult your device provider to establish
the desired network connecvity.
NOTE:
To obtain protecon consistent with any IP rang for the device, the I/O (audio,
power, USB, card reader, etc.) port doors must be closed. If the IP protecon is
compromised by mishandling or misuse, such as by leaving port doors open or
improperly closed, any resulng product damage will not be covered under any
DT Research warranty.

OPERATION
Powering ON and OFF
To acvate the DT301Y/301Q, push and quickly release the Power Buon. The display
will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT301Y/301Q in Standby mode, push and
quickly release the Power Buon. To turn the DT301Y/301Q o for extended storage,
power o safely using any soware funcon that “shuts down computer” provided in
the soware operang system.
NOTE:
The baery pack shipped with your tablet may be low in power—please use the
AC-DC adapter with the DT301Y/301Q when seng up for the rst me to fully
charge the baery pack, or use the oponal baery charger kit.
NOTE:
When the baery pack is charging, the blue-colored Baery LED should blink
slowly. If plugging in the AC-DC adapter does not trigger this blinking acvity
and the LED stays dark, the baery pack(s) may have been drained substanally.
Try unplugging/ replugging the AC-DC adapter to the DT301Y/301Q a few mes
to acvate the charging process.
NOTE:
To conserve power, use (push and quick release) the Power Buon to put the
tablet in “Standby” mode while not in use. Pushing briey on the same buon
will wake up the system within seconds.
NOTE:
For DT301Y/301Q, avoid using the Power Buon (“hold 4+ seconds” feature) to
turn o the tablet—this form of hardware shutdown is intended to be a means
of recovery from lockups, and not as normal operaon.

Start Up
If the power up (from Standby mode or otherwise) is successful, the appropriate
interface will be displayed aer a launch sequence of several seconds. The wireless
LAN connecon may take 10-15 seconds to be established.
Configuring the Mobile Tablet
The DT301Y/301Q may be congured using the ulies and methods dictated by
the soware operang system. The DT301Y/301Q should be congurable for various
properes such as user proles, network features, and several system elements.
Wireless Networking
Wireless LAN
The DT301Y/301Q is oen delivered with an embedded (user-inaccessible) 802.11ac
WLAN adapter equipped with a hidden custom antenna.
• Through the support of typical WLAN adapters, the DT301Y/301Q should be able
to detect all 802.11 access points in the vicinity for you to select the access point
of your choice for connecon.
• The SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the DT301Y/301Q
and the access points have to match. The SSID is case-sensive and it is recom-
mended that you enable WEP/WPA/WPA2 encrypon (or advanced alternaves)
for secure access.
• When WEP/WPA/WPA2 is enabled, you may need to consult your network
administrator or your networking equipment literature to properly congure
associated sengs such as Authencaon mode, etc.
• Refer to the access point operang manuals for seng up the 802.11 access
points.

Peripherals Support
Through its USB ports, the DT301Y/301Q supports a wide range of USB-based
peripherals. These peripherals are applicable for soware installaon, applicaons
storage, data storage, and system soware recovery and updates.
If the DT301Y/301Q comes with a Mobile broadband module, please contact your
product and/or service provider for the SIM Card installaon procedures.
USING THE TABLET
To Hold the Tablet
Le hand: grip the le back side of the tablet with your
le hand four index ngers, with thumb resng on the
top of the back side of the tablet and palm securely
against the back.
Right hand: grip the right back side of the tablet with
your right hand four index ngers, with thumb resng
on the top of the back side of the tablet and palm
securely against the back.

Replacing the Battery Pack
1. Slide the baery latch to the unlocked posion.
2. Li the baery pack o the compartment.
Battery Usage and Maintenance
DT Research tablets and laptops are powered by lithium polymer baery packs in
proprietary form factors. Baery conguraons for the DT Research devices include
internal (bridge or backup), removable or swappable implementaons.
Baery usage cycles, or duraon between necessary re-charge, vary with a number
of factors, including device model, device usage paern and baery health/aging.
The DTR baery packs may be charged while aached to the device or when sepa-
rated from the device and docked in proprietary baery charging cradles. Following
the guidelines on good pracce below can help to keep a baery pack healthy and
prolong baery usage cycles and baery lifespan.
• Avoid high heat condions during operaon, idle, charging, and storage states.
• Avoid leng the baery pack remain in very highly charged state or overly low
charged state for extensive periods of me. Keeping the baery capacity between
30% and 80% of maximum capacity is recommended. The prevailing baery
level(s) can be read from the Baery ulity within the Windows operang system.
• Avoid leng the baery be over-discharged or depleted. Over-discharge can
occur when a fully-discharged (0% level or thereabouts) baery pack is allowed
to remain in such a state for an extended period of me (weeks or months).
The embedded baery controls enter a protecon mode and recharging will be
prevented for safety reasons. To reduce the likelihood of over-discharge, consider
recharging idle baeries regularly to some level between 30%-80% of capacity.
• For long term storage, it is recommended that removable baery packs be stored
separated from the device. Otherwise, the system should be placed in Shutdown
mode. The baery level will decrease with me and it is recommended that the
baery packs be monitored or recharged every 2-3 months to maintain baery
health. The targeted baery level should be within 30% to 80% of maximum
capacity.
