NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
There is a risk of causing damage to the device by using
unauthorised accessories.
Only ever use the mains adapter supplied with the
tablet PC.
61781_E10420 EN DS Content final Rev1.indd 1661781_E10420 EN DS Content final Rev1.indd 16 12.05.2020 12:42:1612.05.2020 12:42:16

Your tablet PC comes with a universal mains adapter. The following range is
supported: AC 100–240 V ~ 50/60 Hz alternating current
For more information on this, refer to section “2.2. Information regarding the mains
adapter” on page 8.
The mains adapter supplies the tablet PC with power and charges the battery.
The battery will also be charging when you are using the tablet PC with
the mains adapter connected. If the mains adapter is plugged into the
mains socket, it will still use a small amount of electricity even if the
tablet PC is not connected to the mains adapter. Make sure that you
disconnect the mains adapter from the mains power supply when it is
not connected to the tablet PC for that reason.
6.2. Charging the battery
The tablet PC has an integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery that you can
charge up using the mains adapter supplied.
The rechargeable battery is an integral component of the device and
users must not replace it themselves.
Charge the battery up fully before using the tablet PC for the first time.
Always charge the tablet PC battery up fully when it has run out of charge.
To charge the battery, proceed as follows:
Plug the USB-C connector of the supplied USB-C cable into the corresponding
port on the tablet PC.
Plug the other end of the cable into the USB port on the mains power adapter
supplied.
Connect the mains power adapter to a mains socket that is always easily
accessible from the device.
The battery will automatically be charged whenever the mains adapter
is connected regardless of whether the tablet PC is switched on or off. If
the tablet PC is switched on, it will take much longer to charge the
battery.

tablet PC.
During the set-up process, you may be prompted to update the
software on your device. Such updates are used to perform
troubleshooting and optimise the software. Updates will be run
automatically once you have agreed to them. Start the UPDATES app
after the initial installation to ensure that the software is completely up
to date. Use the UPDATES app to check for available updates at regular
intervals.
7.4. Putting the tablet PC into sleep mode
Briefly press the On/Off button once to put the tablet PC into sleep mode.
Some apps will continue to use power even when the device is in sleep
mode. The device usually remains ready for use in sleep mode for
several days before it needs to be connected to the mains adapter.
7.4.1. Lock screen
The device is locked when it is in sleep mode. This means that you will need to pass
a security measure when you switch the device back on.
The default setting simply requires you to swipe up on the display.
You do have the option to set a password or another security measure
on your tablet PC by changing the system settings.
61781_E10420 EN DS Content final Rev1.indd 1861781_E10420 EN DS Content final Rev1.indd 18 12.05.2020 12:42:1612.05.2020 12:42:16

19
7.5. Switching off the tablet PC
Press and hold the On/Off button and tap .
Your tablet PC will switch off.
8. System settings
Open the SETTINGS app to change the system settings on your Android device,
e.g. configure WLAN, manage apps and update security settings.
8.1. Software updates
Updates are used to optimise the system performance. If there is an update ready
to download for your device software, a notification will automatically appear in the
status bar on your tablet PC. Updates usually require an internet connection and
will only be installed automatically once you have agreed to them.
You can also check for available updates yourself by opening the UPDATES app.
Individual apps are usually updated automatically via the Google® Play
Store.
8.2. Enabling WLAN
We recommend that you follow the steps below to connect the tablet PC to a WLAN
network:
Open the SETTINGS app.
Open the network and Internet configuration menu.
Enable the WLAN function in the corresponding submenu.
A list of all of the available WLAN access points near you will then appear.
Tap the name of a network that you recognise. If the network is encrypted, you
will be asked to enter a password to gain access. The password will be case-
sensitive so take care when typing it in.
If the desired network is not visible, tap +to add a new network. You will need to
know the exact name (SSID) of the network.
You will know when your device has been connected to the network access point
because the icon will appear in the status bar.
8.3. Enabling Bluetooth®
Bluetooth allows for a direct wireless connection to be established between two
devices for the purpose of exchanging data. The devices usually need to be no more
than a few metres away from one another in an enclosed space. This is how you can
connect Bluetooth keyboards and headsets to your tablet PC, for example.
We recommend that you follow the steps below to set up a Bluetooth connection
between your tablet PC and another Bluetooth-enabled device:
61781_E10420 EN DS Content final Rev1.indd 1961781_E10420 EN DS Content final Rev1.indd 19 12.05.2020 12:42:1612.05.2020 12:42:16

20
Enable Bluetooth on the Bluetooth-enabled device you want to connect to.
Open the SETTINGS app.
Open the menu to manage connected devices.
Tap +to pair a new device.
This automatically activates the Bluetooth function on your tablet PC.
Your tablet PC can now be found by other Bluetooth-enabled devices and you will
see a list of all of the available Bluetooth-enabled devices near you.
Tap the name of a device that you recognise to connect your tablet PC to it.
You may be asked to follow certain steps to ensure that a secure connection is
established – this will depend on the device and the Bluetooth standard. Follow
the instructions on the screen.
If you have connected your tablet PC to the same Bluetooth-enabled
device before, you will also have the option of selecting it directly from
the list of previously connected devices when you want to reconnect.
9. Connecting the tablet PC to a PC
You can connect your tablet PC to a PC using the supplied USB cable so that data
can be transferred between the two devices.

storage media are compatible:
– Micro SD memory cards
– USB memory devices, such as USB sticks and USB hard drives
If you wish to use USB storage devices, you will need a compatible OTG adapter (not
supplied).
The maximum output current at the USB port is 5 V, 500 mA.
If you would like to connect an external hard drive, you may need to provide an
additional power supply for the hard drive depending on the model.

When you insert an unknown micro SD memory card into the tablet PC, the
symbol appears in the top left-hand corner of the status bar.
Swipe down from the top of the display to open up the notification window.
Open the SD card configuration menu from the notification.
Next, select whether you would like to use the inserted micro SD card as internal
tablet memory or mobile/portable memory.
If you decide to use the inserted memory card as internal tablet memory, it will be
used in addition to the device’s internal memory.
This means that you may not be able to access saved data and apps when the
memory card is not inserted. Data stored on the memory card is also encrypted by
the tablet PC and cannot be read by other devices.
NOTICE!
Risk of data loss!
If the tablet PC is reset to factory settings, it will no
longer be possible to access the data on this micro SD
memory card formatted as internal tablet memory on
this tablet PC.
If you decide to use the inserted memory card as mobile/portable memory, you will
still be able to use the card to transfer data between devices.
NOTICE!
Risk of data loss!
If the Android system does not recognise the file
format, you will be given the option of formatting the
micro SD memory card. This will delete all of the data
stored on the memory card!
