PRECAUTIONS
• Always exercise care when operang and handling the DT303CI.
• 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 DT303CI 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 DT303CI and disconnect all power sources. Report the
problem to your device provider immediately.
• Never aempt to disassemble the DT303CI, as this will void the warranty.
BASIC FEATURES
The DT303CI rugged tablet integrates a bright display, USB ports, and embedded
networking elements such as wireless LAN or oponal 4G.
A DT303CI typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may
connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your DT303CI 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 DT303CI, push and quickly release the Power Buon. The display will
come on in a few seconds. To put the DT303CI in Standby mode, push and quickly
release the Power Buon. To turn the DT303CI 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 DT303CI 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 DT303CI 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 DT303CI, avoid using the Power Buon (“hold 9+ 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 DT303CI may be congured using the ulies and methods dictated by
the soware operang system. The DT303CI should be congurable for various
properes such as user proles, network features, and several system elements.
Wireless Networking
Wireless LAN
The DT303CI 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 DT303CI 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 DT303CI and the
access points have to match. The SSID is case-sensive and it is recommended
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.

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.

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 operat-
ing 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.
