Powering ON and OFF
To activate the T13, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come
on in a few seconds. To put the T13 in Standby mode, push and quickly release the
Power Button. To turn
the T13 off for extended storage, power off safely using any
software function that “shuts down computer” provided in the software operating
system.
Note:
The battery packs shipped with your tablet may be low in power—please
use the AC-DC adapter with the T13 when setting up for the first time to fully
charge the internal battery pack. You may charge the external battery pack with it
attached to the T13, or with the optional external battery charger kit.
•Always exercise care when operating and handling the T13.
•Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
•
Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source.
Wherever possible, the T13
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 manufacturer.
•
In the unlikely event that smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is
present, immediately power off the T13
and disconnect all power
sources. Report the problem to Tangent immediately.
•Never attempt to disassemble the T13, as this will void the warranty.
The T13 wireless tablet integrates a bright and multi-touch display, one USB port, and
embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN and Bluetooth.
The T13 is
complemented by a suite of accessories, including battery expansion, charging cradles,
and battery charger kit, for a comprehensive user experience.
A T13 typically integrates an 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may
connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your T13 does not come with
such a network adapter, please consult your device provider to establish the desired
network connectivity.
Note:
When the battery pack(s) is (are) charging, the blue-colored Battery LED
should blink slowly. If plugging in the AC-DC adapter does not trigger this blinking
activity and the LED stays dark, the battery pack(s) may have been drained
substantially. Try unplugging/ replugging the AC-DC adapter to the T13 a few times
to activate the charging process.
Note:
To conserve power, use (push and quick release) the Power Button to put
the tablet in “Standby” mode while not in use. Pushing briefly on the same button
will wake up the system within seconds.
Note:
Avoid using the Power Button (“hold 4+ seconds” feature) to turn off the
tablet—this form of hardware shutdown is intended to be a means of recovery
from lockups, and not as normal operation.

Start Up
Configuring the Mobile Tablet
Wireless Networking
Wireless LAN
Bluetooth
If the power up (from Standby or otherwise) is successful, the appropriate interface
will be displayed after a launch sequence of several seconds. The wireless LAN
connection may take 10
-15 seconds to be established.
The T13 may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software
operating system. The T13 should be configurable for various properties such as user
profiles, network features, and several system elements.
The T13 is often delivered with an embedded (user-inaccessible) 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN
adapter equipped with a hidden custom antenna.
•Through the support of typical WLAN adapters, the T13
should be able to
detect all 802.11 access points in the vicinity for you to select the access
point of your choice for connection.
•The SSID and
WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the T13 and the
access points have to match. The SSID is case-
sensitive and it is
recommended that you enable WEP/WPA/WPA2 encryption (or advanced
alternatives) for secure access.
•When WEP/WPA/WPA2 is enabled, you ma
y need to consult your network
administrator or your networking equipment literature to properly configure
associated settings such as Authentication mode, etc.
•
Refer to the access point operating manuals for setting up the 802.11 access
points.
The T13 is with the Bluetooth module supporting Bluetooth 4.0 standard including
Bluetooth 3.0 High Speed and Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (BLE), which delivers faster
speeds (up to 300 Mbps) with low power consumption.
The T13 is complemented by an optional Desktop Cradle for support, pass-through
charging, video out, and connection to a range of USB peripherals. The Cradle offers
the following interfaces: a
DC-in port for the AC-
DC adapter, two DisplayPort outputs
to support dual monitor display, an Ethernet port and USB ports. Always seat the T13
securely onto the cradle. The cradle must be powered by the AC
-
DC adapter for the
Ethernet and USB ports to function. The battery packs on the T13 may be recharged by
connecting the AC
-DC adapter directly to the DC-in port on the T13 or through the DC
-
in port on the Desktop Cradle while the T13 is docked to the Cradle.
Desktop Cradle
Through its USB port, the T13 supports a wide range of USB-based peripherals. These
peripherals are applicable for software installation, applications storage, data storage,
and system software recovery and updates. T13 is also compatible with custom
mountable cradle options. 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.
USING THE MOBILE TABLET
Peripherals Support
Depending on software configuration, the T13 can be centrally managed for asset
monitoring and for software control.
