BASIC OPERATION GUIDE
DT301Y
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for acquiring the DT301Y, part of DT Research’s line of tablets. Featuring a slim yet robust
enclosure, the DT301Y with 10.1” capacitive touch display is powered by the Intel® processor, offering
optimal combinations of performance and power savings. The DT301Y is available with Microsoft® Windows®
operating system. The operating system features web browser, client/ server computing software, media
player, accessories, and applications support.

PRECAUTIONS
•Always exercise care when operating and handling the DT301Y.
•Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
•We recommend using the Digital Pen (optional) to keep the screen clean.
•Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source. Wherever possible, the DT301Y
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 manufacturer or its partners.
•In the unlikely event that smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately power off the
DT301Y and disconnect all power sources. Report the problem to your device provider immediately.
•Never attempt to disassemble the DT301Y, as this will void the warranty.
NOTE:
To obtain protection consistent with any IP rating for the device, the I/O (audio, power, USB, card reader,
etc.) port doors must be closed. If the IP protection is compromised by mishandling or misuse, such as by
leaving port doors open or improperly closed, any resulting product damage will not be covered under any
DT Research warranty.
BASIC FEATURES
The DT301 wireless tablet integrates a bright display, one USB port, and embedded networking elements
such as wireless LAN and Bluetooth or optional 4G LTE. The DT301 is complemented by a suite of accessories,
including battery expansion, charging cradles, and battery charger kit, for a comprehensive user experience.
A DT301 typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may connect to other wireless
devices or access points. If your DT301 does not come with such a network adapter, please consult your
device provider to establish the desired network connectivity.

OPERATION
Powering ON and OFF
To activate the DT301Y, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few
seconds. To put the DT301Y in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the
DT301Y off for extended storage, power off safely using any software function that “shuts down computer”
provided in the software operating system.
NOTE:
The battery pack shipped with your tablet may be low in power—please use the AC-DC adapter with
the DT301Y when setting up for the first time to fully charge the battery pack, or use the optional
battery charger kit.
NOTE:
When the battery pack is charging, the blue-colored Battery LED should blink slowly. If plugging in the
AC-DC adapter does not trigger this blinking activity and the LED stays dark, the battery pack(s) may
have been drained substantially. Try unplugging/ replugging the AC-DC adapter to the DT301Y a few
times to activate the charging process.
NOTE:
To conserve power, use (push and quick release) the Power Button to put the tablet in “Standby”
mode while not in use. Pushing briefly on the same button will wake up the system within seconds.
NOTE:
Avoid using the Power Button (“hold 4+ seconds” feature) to turn off the tablet—this form of
hardware shutdown is intended to be a means of recovery from lockups, and not as normal
operation.

Start Up
If the power up (from Standby mode or otherwise) is successful, the appropriate interface will be displayed
after a launch sequence of several seconds. The wireless LAN connection may take 10-15 seconds to be
established.
Configuring the Mobile Tablet
The DT301Y may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system.
The DT301Y should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several
system elements.
Wireless Networking
Wireless LAN
The DT301Y is often 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 should be able to detect all 802.11 access
points in the vicinity for you to select the access point of your choice for connection.
• The SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the DT301Y and the access points have to
match. The SSID is case-sensitive and it is recommended that you enable WEP/WPA/WPA2 encryption (or
advanced alternatives) for secure access.
•When WEP/WPA/WPA2 is enabled, you may need to consult your network administrator or your
networking equipment literature to properly configure associated settings such as Authentication mode,
etc.
•Refer to the access point operating manuals for setting up the 802.11 access points.
Bluetooth
The Bluetooth configuration application is enabled from the System Tray or from the Windows Mobility
Center. Follow the instructions and options provided within the application to configure and invoke
Bluetooth connectivity with the corresponding peripherals.

USING THE MOBILE TABLET
Peripherals Support
Through its USB 3.0 port, the DT301Y supports a wide range of USB-based peripherals. These peripherals are
applicable for software installation, applications storage, data storage, and system software recovery and
updates.
For More Support
Users can download the Tablet Modules Basic Operation Guides from the DT Research website.
If the DT301Y comes with a Mobile broadband module, please contact your product and/or service provider
for the SIM Card installation procedures.
To Hold the Tablet
Left hand: grip the left back side of the tablet with your left hand
four index fingers, with thumb resting 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 fingers, with thumb resting on the top of the back

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information SAR tests are conducted using standard
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating
can be well below the maximum value, in general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a new model device is a available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC,
Tests for each device are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and
worn on the body)as required by the FCC.
