Introducing the UMTC
Welcome to the UMTC computer. The UMTC is a
full-featured Windows 7 computer that gives you the total
productivity you need to fulfill your professional
requirements.
Mobility
The UMTC is one of the world’s smallest Windows 7 computers.
Its mobile form factor allows you to take it anywhere and its
ergonomic design facilitates usability on the go. Because the
UMTC uses the Windows 7 operating system, you have
uncompromised access to software applications and seamless
connectivity – via WiFi, Ethernet and Bluetooth®.
While you’re on the go, the UMTC is your standalone,
handheld computer with its own integrated keyboard, track
stick, and capacitive touchsliders. The plastic prototype will be made rugged, by the
use of a magnesium alloy case (or similar technology) when production released. The
prototype models are ABS plastic with a V0 flame rating.
With a 128G SSD flash drive your data is protected in the case the unit is dropped.
At the office, the UMTC can function as your desktop computer connected
to an external monitor, keyboard, mouse and Ethernet network.
The UMTC was designed to deliver the total computing
performance necessary to achieve personal and professional
productivity, anytime and anywhere. The UMTC – with its
robust processing power, Windows 7 operating system,
application compatibility, memory and storage capacity, and
unparalleled connectivity – is everything you need to meet your total productivity
requirements.

Powering up and down
It is very important to use the +5 volt power supply provided
with the UMTC system. The system does not adjust for voltages
greater than 5 volts. (Power supplies output connectors in this
size are very common and are not all 5 volts.) The battery also
requires a minimum charge time to be met or the life and
functionally of the batteries will be degraded. Other power
supplies can meet these charge requirements but should be
approved before use. Consult your supplier before changing
these components.

Your UMTC ships with a battery attached.
To turn on your UMTC, press the power button located on
the left side of the computer. When idle, conserve battery
power by putting your computer in Standby or Hibernate mode.
To charge the battery, connect the power supply to the UMTC as shown above and
then plug into an outlet. The battery
will charge whenever the computer is connected to an outlet.
standby mode
Standby mode reduces the power consumption of your
computer by cutting power to non-critical hardware
components. The system maintains power to your computer’s
random access memory (RAM), which allows the system to
quickly restore your active applications and files. It will also
save your session to the hard drive, so you can access it even if
the memory loses power.
To put your computer into Standby mode, press the power
button.
hibernate mode
Hibernate mode saves your current system state to the
hard disk drive and then powers down your computer. When
you power up again, your open files and applications are
restored just as you left them. Hibernate mode draws no
power and is best for conserving battery life and changing
batteries.
To put your computer into Hibernate mode, click on the Start
menu and choose the ‘Hibernate’ option in the right arrow
menu of the “Shutdown” button.
conserving battery power
Additional ways to conserve battery power include:
• Turn off wireless radios when not in use.
• Turn off the keyboard backlight.
• Lower the internal display brightness.
• Adjust power settings in the Power Options control panel.

Removing and attaching the battery
On the UMTC a fully charged battery typically provides over four
hours of operating time depending on usage.
charging the battery
A battery fuel gauge is located on the right side of the battery.
When pressed and released, the fuel gauge will illuminate to
indicate remaining battery power. While the battery is charging,
the fuel gauge lights flash in sequence.
removing the battery
Before replacing the battery, the computer should be plugged
into an outlet, shut down, or placed in Hibernate mode.
Removal of the battery while in Standby mode may result in
loss of user and system data.
To remove the battery, remove the screw located on the back face
next to the power button and lift the battery away from the
computer.
attaching the battery
To attach the battery, rest the battery hooks in the slots
alongside the back edge of the computer before lowering
the battery onto the computer. Press the battery against the
computer and tighten the screw.

to pulse. The next key you press will be modified. Press a
control key twice to lock it, and the LED will remain solid.
All subsequent key presses will be modified until you press the
control key a third time to unlock it and the LED turns off.

The UMTC provides a number of custom keyboard
shortcuts for quick access to functions using the control keys.
Keyboard shortcuts are described in the diagram above.

keys (CTL, ALT, and DEL) simultaneously to pull up Windows
Task Manager (default if your computer is not connected to a
network domain). On the UMTC you can simply press the
control key sequence below to perform the same
function: CTL, ALT, FN, BSP delete"button

- The Rotate key doesn't do anything yet.
- The Euro key does nothing.
- The Wireless key will work on newer units but was not enabled on
the first unit/s.

Using touchsliders and other screen features
Screen features
Your UMTC features a 5-inch Wide LCD screen for
readability indoors and outdoors. To manually increase
and decrease screen brightness, use the keyboard shortcuts:
FN B or N see diagram above.
The native screen resolution is set to 1024 x 600 pixels. You can
increase the resolution and adjust many other display settings
in the Display control panel.
Capacitive touchsliders
Capacitive Touchsliders are embedded in the lower right
corner of the screen frame. To scroll horizontally or vertically
within an application window, slide your thumb along the
sliders.
Ambient light sensor
The ambient light sensor is located above the sliders. It should not be covered for
normal operation. The ambient light sensor provides input that is used to set the
parameters of when the keyboard backlight should be on. (Lower light levels.)
Keyboard backlight
The keyboard backlight is controlled by sliding open the keyboard. This turns on the
the backlight in low light level situations. A magnetic closed lid detect will turn off the
backlight when the keyboard is slid into a closed position. A keyboard control key can
toggle the on/off of the backlight. The light will remember this state when it is
opened and it will not remain on if closed after this control is set.
Touchscreen
The UMTC comes with a resistive touchscreen. After Windows boots and the software
is running you can use it as an alternate input method. If for any reason it fails to
operate press the power button momentarily twice and see if the condition is
cleared.
