REQUIREMENTS
The WebDT 375 features a CompactFlash (CF) slot and a PCMCIA slot. It is anticipated that the PCMCIA interface
will be mostly used to provide the 802.11b wireless LAN connectivity. The WebDT 375 may also support dialup
modem, tethered Ethernet connectivity and wireless WAN access.
The WebDT 375 supports offline applications and deployment. However, you may choose to have (as
basestations) 802.11b wireless Access Points or Gateways with network (Internet, Intranet, etc.) access to
experience the full capability of the WebDT 375. If your WebDT 375 does not come with a wireless LAN (802.11b)
adapter (see OPERATION NOTES), the WebDT 375 should be used together with an approved wireless network
adapter for network access. Please check with your device provider for the appropriate solution.
NOTE: In fact if you elect to use a WLAN adapter where the vendor offers a driver to operate under Windows CE
.NET on an ARM/XScale processor-based platform, you should be able to install the driver onto the WebDT 375 by
referring to the “Software Installation, Development, Synchronization” section in this document. Software drivers
installed in this manner may need to be re-installed should you clear the system’s volatile memory during a Cold
Reboot process.
Notes for setting up the 802.11b-based wireless communication
• Under the zero configuration design of the wireless 802.11b LAN support under CE .NET, the WebDT 375 will
detect all 802.11b basestations in the vicinity for you to select the basestation of your choice for connection.
• The ESSID and WEP Key (if enabled) on the WebDT 375 and the basestations have to match. Zero
configuration will guide the ESSID setup. WEP is “Disabled” as default on the WebDT 375 – it is recommended
that you enable WEP encryption for secure access.
• Click on the wireless LAN icon (see figures below) on the Windows CE Taskbar, to configure the wireless
adapter in the WebDT 375.
• Refer to the basestation operating manuals for setting up the 802.11b basestations.
• NOTE: The WLAN network connectivity icon changes appearance as in the following:
Connection Established Connection Lost
(Blinking icon indicates activity)
• NOTE: You will not see any of the icons above in the Taskbar if the network adapter is not detected or
supported by the WebDT 375.

OPERATION
Power ON and OFF
NOTE:
• The battery shipped with your device should be low in power – please be prepared to use the AC-DC adapter
with the WebDT 375 in setting up the device for the first time and to fully charge the internal battery pack.
• Depending on the origin of your device, the WebDT 375 is generally delivered in a “Power Off” state. To start
(Cold Boot or “Power On”) the WebDT 375 for the first time, push briefly on the Suspend or Power/Reset button
(#9 per Button Function Table) located at the upper left edge of the device with the AC-DC adapter
connected to the device. You may refer to the sections on Operation Notes and Appendix on FAQ and
Troubleshooting for more details and scenarios.
• Please use (push and quick release) the Suspend button to “sleep” the device while not in use. Pushing briefly
on the Suspend button will wake up the system within 1-2 seconds.
In general, to activate the WebDT 375, push and quickly release the Suspend button to the left of the front
bezel. The display will come on in about 1-2 seconds. To move the WebDT 375 into Suspend mode and
conserve power, push and quickly release the Suspend button. In the Suspend mode, the device continues to
consume (a minimum amount of) power.
• If you are putting the device away for an extended period of time (e.g., travel or absence), you may elect to
power off the device off completely to conserve battery life. This way, you will have power in your battery when
you arrive at your destination or return from your absence. However you will need to properly save your work
content (e.g., to external CompactFlash card in CF slot) and device settings (e.g., by Registries Save/Restore
utility in Control Panel) prior to the procedure. To power off the device, push and hold onto the Suspend button
for over 4 seconds – the display will turn off and all LEDs will be dark.
• DO NOT use the Power Off function as part of normal device operation – you may lose all software settings
and information you may have established through your pattern of usage. It is designed for use to reset the
device in the unlikely event that the device enters a hung state or to meet the power conserving objective cited
in the previous paragraph. Pushing briefly on the Suspend button will initiate the Power On process if the
battery is in good condition; otherwise make sure the AC-DC adapter is connected.
Start Up
1. If the power up (from Suspend or otherwise) is successful the Windows CE Desktop will be displayed after a
launch sequence of several seconds OR within 2-4 seconds if recovering from Suspend.
2. The wireless LAN adapter may take 10-15 seconds to be (re-)established.
3. Choose from any of the displayed icons on the Desktop to activate the corresponding application.

OPERATION NOTES
- Wireless Network Card and Antenna System
The WebDT 375 has a PC Card slot along the upper left edge of the device. This slot is likely to house the wireless
LAN adapter. In certain configurations, the slot is left open for the user to insert a supported network adapter. In
many instances, the WebDT 375 is delivered with an embedded PC card with a custom antenna in a snap-type
housing. In the latter case, the user has the choice of leaving the antenna in the snap-on position (A) or of pulling
the antenna tip off the retainer snap and try to obtain better wireless connectivity through varying orientations up to
near-vertical (B).

- Battery and Power Management
The WebDT 375 is equipped with an internal Li-Ion battery pack that is capable of supporting approximately 2.5
hours of continuous operation. The period of continuous operation can be extended to approximately 6 hours with
the aid of an optional external battery pack that clips onto the back of the device. The period between battery
recharge can be significantly lengthened by putting the device into Suspend mode through the Suspend button (see
Button Function Table) whenever the device is not in use. The WebDT 375 may also be configured to
automatically enter into power-saving
modes after user-definable periods of device idle – see Start > Settings >
Control Panel > Power Properties.
NOTE: The WebDT 375 battery pack may be recharged with the accompanying AC-DC adapter connected directly
to the DC-in jack on the device or connected to the device Cradle.
- Power (Reset)/Suspend Button
The Power (Reset) and Suspend (Resume) button resides, slightly-recessed, along the upper left edge of the
WebDT 375.
Suspend/Resume
A brief push/release of the Suspend button toggles between Suspend and Resume – with adequate intervening
time. The system cannot enter into Suspend mode again within 15 seconds after Resuming.
COLD Boot/Power On-Off/Reset
You may use the Suspend Button to Cold Boot or Restart the WebDT 375 in the unlikely event of device lock-
up. To execute, push on the button with a fine blunt object for over 4 seconds to “Power Off” the device. The
device will be turned off. This Reset/Power Off will clear your software settings and data if they are not properly

saved to flash memory (See Appendix on FAQ for reference). Push again on Suspend Button for a brief
moment to restart/reboot the device.
 Low Battery Condition
A warning message will be generated during a Low Battery situation and the WebDT 375 will shortly thereafter
be placed into (Forced) Suspend mode if operation continues without external supply of power.
After the WebDT 375 enters the (Forced) Suspend mode due to the Low Battery condition:
• The Suspend/Resume button will not be able to reactivate the machine unless an AC-DC adapter or a good
external battery is connected when the Suspend button is briefly engaged. If recovery is performed within 2-4
hours, the machine will return to its previous state.
• If over 2-4 hours elapse without one using the AC-DC adapter or the external battery pack to resume system
operation or recharge the battery, the battery power will drain entirely. If the WebDT 375 is re-activated then,
the machine is reset and the process amounts to a cold boot. Reactivation of the system is also by means of
briefly engaging the Suspend button in the presence of a connected AC-DC adapter or good external battery.
SUMMARY
Use the SUSPEND button at (left) side to:
(1) Enter and Exit Suspend mode (triggered upon button release within 0-4 seconds);
(2) Engage Full Power Off (preceding Cold boot) by pressing/holding for over 4 seconds;
(3) Exit Forced Suspend mode;
• Note: The device automatically enters Forced Suspend mode (from Active or Suspend) when the
internal battery pack reaches a low level. This is to support a graceful shutdown and also extend the
time where information is retained in volatile memory.
• Connect AC-DC adapter or external battery pack of good capacity to the WebDT 375 and briefly
engage Suspend button (recover original state entering Suspend/Forced Suspend).
(4) Cold boot (from Power off or Total battery drain).
connect AC-DC adapter or external battery pack of good capacity to the WebDT 375 and briefly
engage Suspend button (splash screen will appear after a few seconds - Cold (Re-)Boot has taken
place).
NOTE: States (3) and (4) are manifested by "dark display and dark LEDs with no system response when the
Suspend button is pushed without an AC-DC adapter connected to the WebDT 375".
The next step is to connect up the AC-DC and engage Suspend button again.
The type of response – splash (bootup) screen or recovery into previous state - indicates whether the
device is undergoing Cold (Re-)Boot or is simply exiting Forced Suspend mode.
