THE DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD
Basic Features
The DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD wireless tablet integrates a bright and mul-touch
display, one USB port, and embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN and
Bluetooth or oponal 3G. The DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD is complemented by a suite of
accessories, including baery expansion, charging cradles, and baery charger kit, for a
comprehensive user experience.
A DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD typically integrates an 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN (WLAN)
adapter that may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your DT315CT/
DT315CT-MD does not come with such a network adapter, please consult your device

OPERATION
Powering ON and OFF
To acvate the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD, push and quickly release the Power Buon. The
display will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD in Standby
mode, push and quickly release the Power Buon. To turn the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD
offfor extended storage, power offsafely using any soware funcon that “shuts down
computer”provided in the soware operang system.
NOTE:
The baery packs shipped with your tablet may be low in power—please use
the AC-DC adapter with the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD when seng up for the
first me to fully charge the internal baery pack. You may charge the external
baery pack with it aached to the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD, or with the
oponal external baery charger kit.
NOTE:
When the baery pack(s) is (are) 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 DT315CT/
DT315CT-MD 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 briefly on the same buon
will wake up the system within seconds.
NOTE:
Avoid using the Power Buon (“hold 4+ seconds”feature) to turn offthe
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 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 DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD may be configured using the ulies and methods dictated
by the soware operang system. The DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD should be configurable
for various properes such as user profiles, network features, and several system
elements.
Calibraon
The touch display for the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD is calibrated before shipping. In the
event that the calibraon has been modified or is unsasfactory, the respecve calibra-
on rounes (e.g., PenMount (PM)) to calibrate the touch interface may be used.
Wireless Networking
Wireless LAN
The DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD is oen delivered with an embedded (user-inaccessible)
802.11a/b/g/n WLAN adapter equipped with a hidden custom antenna.
T
•hrough the support of typical WLAN adapters, the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD 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.
T
•he SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the DT315CT/ DT315CT-
MD 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.
W
•hen WEP/WPA/WPA2 is enabled, you may need to consult your network admin-
istrator or your networking equipment literature to properly configure associated
sengs such as Authencaon mode, etc.
R

USING THE Mobile Tablet
Peripherals Support
Through its USB port, the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD 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. The DT315CT/
DT315CT-MD is also compable with custom mountable cradle opons. These securable
and mountable cradles provide an interface to VESA mounts and arms, and to ports that
may include USB, Ethernet, and pass-through power.
Remote Management
Depending on soware configuraon, the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD can be centrally
managed for asset monitoring and for soware control. Please consult your device
provider.
Buon Management
Where supported by soware, the hard buons on the leside of DT315CT/ DT315CT-
MD are programmable to perform a funcon of the user’s choice. To acvate the buon
re-assignment applicaon, invoke the Buon Manager applicaon .
Baery and Power Management
The DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD is equipped with an internal 3760mAh Li-Ion baery pack
that is capable of supporng approximately 1.5–2 hours of connuous operaon. With
the oponal external baery pack that clips (hot-pluggable) onto the back of the tablet,
the maximum period of connuous operaon will be approximately 3–4 hours. The
period between baery recharges can be significantly lengthened by pung the device
into Standby mode through the Power Buon (see Buons Funcon Table) whenever
the tablet is not in use. Depending on the operang soware, the DT315CT/ DT315CT-
MD may also be configured to enter various power-saving modes via the Power Buon
or through med entry.
Desktop Cradle
The DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD is complemented by an oponal Desktop Cradle for
support, pass-through charging, and connecon to a range of USB peripherals, including
keyboard and mouse. The Cradle offers the following interfaces: a DC-in port for the
AC-DC adapter, an Ethernet port, a VGA port (oponal) and USB ports. Always seat the
DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD securely onto the cradle. The cradle must be powered by the
AC-DC adapter for the Ethernet and USB ports to funcon. The baery packs on the
DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD may be recharged by connecng the AC-DC adapter directly to
the DC-in port on the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD or through the DC-in port on the Desktop
Cradle while the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD is docked to the Cradle.
Bluetooth
The DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD features a built-in Bluetooth adapter that operates on
the MicrosoWindows Bluetooth protocol. The Bluetooth configuraon applicaon is
invoked from the System Tray or from the Control. Follow the instrucons and opons
provided within the applicaon to configure and invoke Bluetooth connecvity with the
corresponding peripherals.
NOTE: Bluetooth devices or accessories that are not compable with the Microso
Windows Bluetooth protocol may not work with the DT315CT/ DT315CT-MD.
