(Optional) WARNING:

 We shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever resulting from your use of the fingerprint scanner or neglect of fingerprint scanner use, or any data loss resulting from such developments as fingerprint authentication malfunctioning.

 It is not recommended that you use the fingerprint scanner in a below-

freezing temperature. The moisture on your finger can freeze to the scanners metal surface when you touch it, resulting in a failed operation. Besides, touching freezing metal with your finger can cause frostbite. The fingerprint scanner (if your model has the feature) provides a strong authentication mechanism based on fingerprint recognition. NOTE:

 You can enroll a fingerprint only after creating a password for the Windows user account.

 The fingerprint logon process can take a while. This is because the system has to check hardware devices and security configuration before initiating the fingerprint scanner. 26 To enroll your fingerprint:

For Windows 10 1. Tap

 Settings Accounts  Sign-in options. 2. On the right side under Fingerprint, tap Set up. 3. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete. For Windows 7 1. Start BioExcess. Follow the wizard to enroll your fingerprints. 2. You can then use the fingerprint software to set up how the fingerprint authentication works. For detailed information, click the Help button of the software. Help 27 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Managing Power Managing Power Managing Power Managing Power Your Tablet PC operates either on external AC power or on internal battery power. This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the proper way. 28 AC Adapter AC Adapter AC Adapter AC Adapter CAUTION:

 The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.

 The AC power cord supplied with your Tablet PC is for use in the country where you purchased your Tablet PC. If you plan to go overseas with the Tablet PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord.

 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 Tablet PC.

 When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord. The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your Tablet PC runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power. The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC. 29 Battery Pack Battery Pack Battery Pack Battery Pack Your Tablet PC has two battery packs. The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the Battery Pack Guidelines section in Chapter 7. Charging the Battery Pack Charging the Battery Pack Charging Charging the Battery Pack the Battery Pack NOTE:

 Charging will not start if the batterys temperature is outside the allowed range, which is between 0 C (32 F) and 50 C (122 F). Once the batterys temperature meets the requirements, charging automatically resumes.

 During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery.

 The battery has a high temperature protection mechanism which limits the maximum charge of the battery to 80% of its total capacity in the event of high temperature conditions. In such conditions, the battery will be regarded as fully charged at 80% capacity.

 The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge process (0.21% per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100%). This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the Tablet PC. To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an electrical outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator (

) on the Tablet PC glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the Tablet PC power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green. The two battery packs are charged in parallel. It takes approximately 5 hours to fully charge the two battery packs when the power is off and approximately 6 hours when the power is on (may need a longer charging time at lower temperatures). 30 CAUTION: After the Tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage the battery. Initializing the Battery Pack Initializing the Battery Pack Initializing the Battery Pack Initializing the Battery Pack You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours. A software tool called Gauge Reset is provided for the purpose. Use the G-Manager program and select the Battery tab to find the tool. Checking the Battery Level Checking the Battery Level Checking the Battery Level Checking the Battery Level NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the Tablet PC. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the Tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. The two battery packs are discharged in parallel. By Operating System By Operating System By Operating System By Operating System You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, tap the battery icon on the taskbar. By Gas Gauge By Gas Gauge By Gas Gauge By Gas Gauge On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the estimated battery charge. When the battery pack is not installed in the Tablet PC and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the push-button to see the number of LEDs that light up. Each LED represents 20% charge. 31 Push-button Battery Low Signals and Actions Battery Low Signals and Actions Battery Low Battery Low Signals and Actions Signals and Actions The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery.

Please reference ENERGY STAR related information from http://www.energystar.gov. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Getac Technology Corporation has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. An ENERGY STAR qualified computer uses 70 % less electricity than computers without enabled power management features. Earning the EEEENERGY NERGY SSSSTARTARTARTAR Earning the NERGY Earning the Earning the NERGY

 When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the ENERGY STAR, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of greenhouse gases out of the air.



If left inactive, ENERGY STAR qualified computers enter a low-power mode and may use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power management features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than even just a few years ago.

 Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer. 91

 Businesses that use ENERGY STAR enabled office equipment may realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.

 Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR qualified equipment in a single home office

(e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years.

 Power management (sleep settings) on computers and monitors can result in much savings annually. Remember, saving energy prevents pollution Remember, saving energy prevents pollution Remember, saving energy prevents pollution Remember, saving energy prevents pollution Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air pollution. By using less energy, these products help lower consumers utility bills, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions. Getac Product Compliance Getac Product Compliance Getac Product Compliance Getac Product Compliance All Getac products with ENERGY STAR logo comply with the ENERGY STAR standard, and the power management feature is enabled by default. As recommended by the ENERGY STAR program for optimal energy savings, the computer is automatically set to sleep after 15 minutes (in battery mode) and 30 minutes (in AC mode) of user inactivity. To wake up the computer, press the power button. If you want to configure power management settings such as inactivity time and ways to initiate/end Sleep mode, go to Power Options by right-clicking the battery icon on the Windows taskbar and then selecting Power Options in the pop-up menu.
