Introduction of Function Buttons That Can be Used After Entering
Windows
This product comes with 13 different function buttons that can be used after entering
Windows. To enable you to access your favorite applications quickly, some of these 13
function buttons even offer additional functions. You, the user, can define functions for
four of them, setting them to suit your individual needs and preferences.
The four directions on the Direction Ball (4 separate functions) together with the Enter
function count as 5 function buttons.
Each button has a built-in primary function. However, some buttons can also have another
function at the same time. These extra functions are called secondary functions. Of the
13 buttons, you may assign your personal secondary functions to four.
When you start to operate your computer, you should understand the following two
types of button functions:
1. primary functions
Pre-set system functions. There is no way for you to reset these. The icon to the side
of the actual button represents the primary function.
2. secondary functions
Additional functions that are accessed by pressing the [Fn] button: some are user-
programmable and some have already been assigned.
When the Windows desktop icon appears on the taskbar in the lower right-hand
corner of your screen, both kinds of functions mentioned above have been assigned
successfully and can be used. The different primary and secondary functions can help you
when you are using the Tablet PC and improve your work performance.

How to Prolong the Battery Life
Battery Use:
1. For the most effective battery use, it is recommended that you wait until the battery
is completely drained before recharging it. This way, you can get the longest life and a
complete current supply from your battery.
2. New batteries must go through a few cycles of being completely charged and drained
before getting the maximum results. In other words, the battery should be allowed to
experience the full range between maximum and minimum voltage.
3. The first time you charge the battery, you should charge it 100%. It must be charged 3-4
hours.
Battery Hot Swap
In order to ensure that your current data is safely stored, we remind you that you must
follow the steps below when changing the battery.
1. Unplug all external devices.
2. Set the system on Standby.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Replace it with a fully charged battery.
5. Press the On/Off button and restore the system to operating mode.
The above procedure is the quick-change battery hot swap and should be completed
in under five minutes (otherwise, data may be lost).
1. Touching either end of the battery with anything metallic can result in a short circuit.
2. Do not hit the battery, put it anywhere warm, or let it get wet or fall.
3. Charging the battery for too long can shorten its life. Please do not charge it for
more than 24 hours.
