Safety Precautions
 Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make
connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic
components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
 Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag
when they are not in the chassis.

CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED
This chapter guides you to get the Rugged Tablet PC ready for operating.
1.1 Connecting the AC Power
Our tablet PC can be operated either with the external AC power adapter or

**Caution
Use only the AC adapter included with your tablet PC. Using other AC adapters
may damage the tablet PC.
1. Make sure that the tablet PC is turned off.
2. Place the tablet PC upside down.
3. Put Battery Pack into the battery slot and screw tightly with four screws.
4. Plug the DC cord of the AC adapter to the power connector of the tablet PC.
5. Plug the female end of the AC power cord to the AC adapter and the male end to
the power electrical outlet.
6. Turn on the Tablet PC few seconds later after power is being supplied from the
electrical outlet to the AC adapter.
7. When the AC adapter is connected, the Battery Pack is also under charging. You
can check the Battery Status LED indicator to see the currently progress. The
indicator turns to green when is fully charged.
(For information on using battery power, see “Chapter 3 The Power Management”)
**Caution
When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first
and then from the tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter
or the tablet PC.
When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the
cord.

1.3 The Optimum Use for Sunlight Readable Touch screen.
With the imposed reflective function, the modified LCD can reflect the ambient light
passing the LCD cell and utilize the reflected light beams as its illumination. The
stronger the ambient light is, the brighter the LCD will appear. As a result, the modified
LCD is viewable under lighting conditions. The optimized angle of view is fourty-five
degree. And the optimized distance of view is 30cm.
**Caution
Although transflective LCD is mainly used in outdoor environment and it may
increase the reflective lights under sunlight, it is suggested that you should keep
the LCD in appropriate temperature for operation and storage, and avoid direct
sunlight if possible. To ensure the transflective LCD work stably, 0~50°C
(32-121°F) operation and storage temperature is suitable.
