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. 27 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. 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. When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC. 28 Battery Pack 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 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. 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. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery pack. 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. NOTE: 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. 29 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 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. 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 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. 30 Push-button Battery Low Signals and Actions The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery. Icon Battery Level Discharging Description The icon shows the charge remaining in 10-percent increments until the charge reaches the low-battery level. Low The battery charge has reached the low-battery level

(10% by default). Critically low The battery charge has reached the critical battery level

(5% by default). By default, Windows will display a notification and put your Tablet PC into Hibernation. When the battery is low, the Tablet PCs Battery Charge Indicator (

blinks red to alert you to take actions.

) also Always respond to low-battery by connecting the AC adapter, placing your Tablet PC in Hibernation mode, or turning off the Tablet PC. 31 Replacing the Battery Pack CAUTION:

There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the Tablet PC manufacturers battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealers instructions. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. NOTE: You can hot swap the battery pack as described later in Hot Swapping the Battery Pack. 1. Turn off the Tablet PC and disconnect the AC adapter. (Skip this step if you are hot swapping the battery pack.) 2. Slide the battery latch to the unlocked position ( ). The battery pack will slightly pop up. 3. Remove the battery pack from its compartment 32 4. Fit another battery pack into place. With the battery pack correctly oriented, attach its connector side to the battery compartment at an angle () and then press down the other side (). The battery latch should be engaged in the locked position ( ). 33 CAUTION: Make sure the latch is correctly locked, not revealing the underneath red part. Hot Swapping the Battery Pack Hot swapping means you can safely replace the battery pack without shutting down while your Tablet PC is running on battery power. This is possible because your Tablet PC has an internal bridge battery. The bridge battery can sustain power for up to 1 minute, which should be long enough for you to replace the battery pack. Hints and Reminders See Replacing the Battery Pack for replacement instructions and note the following hints and reminders on hot swapping:

Make sure you have another charged battery pack. 34 The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack is between

-10 C (14 F) and 50 C (122 F). Check the Bridge Battery Indicator after unlocking the battery latch. Replace the battery pack only when the indicator lights in green. A red light means the bridge battery level is too low for you to safely hot swap the battery pack. When the battery latch is unlocked, the display brightness level will be fixed at a low level and cannot be adjusted. If a charged battery pack is not inserted within one minute, the Tablet PC enters Hibernation mode. After removing the battery pack, do not connect and immediately disconnect the AC adapter. This will shut down the Tablet PC. About the Bridge Battery The bridge battery is not user-replaceable and is invisible to the operating system. It never functions as the power source as long as the main battery pack is installed. By default, the bridge battery is charged by external AC power (if connected) or the main battery pack (if external power is not connected). You can limit 35 the charging source to only the external AC power. (For setup information, see Advanced Menu in Chapter 5 and the Charging Backup Battery item.) 36 Power-Saving Tips Aside from enabling your Tablet PCs power saving mode, you can do your part to maximize the batterys operating time by following these suggestions. Do not disable Power Management. Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level. Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display. When not using a connected device, disconnect it. Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module (such as WLAN, BT, or WWAN). Turn off the Tablet PC when you are not using it. 37 Chapter 4 Using Options and Peripherals This chapter describes the use of optional modules and the connection of peripherals. 38 Using the Fingerprint Scanner

. 59 Chapter 7 Caring for the Tablet PC Taking good care of your Tablet PC will ensure a trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage to your Tablet PC. This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing, cleaning, and traveling. 60 Taking Care of the Tablet PC Location Guidelines For optimal performance, use the Tablet PC where the recommended temperature is between 0 C (32 F) and 55 C (131 F). (Actual operating temperature depends on product specifications.) Avoid placing the Tablet PC in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using in extreme environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and a shortened product life. Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed. Place the Tablet PC on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the Tablet PC on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by dropping or hitting may damage the Tablet PC. Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the Tablet PC. For example, do not place the Tablet PC on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the Tablet PC. As the Tablet PC can become very hot during operation, keep it away from objects that are vulnerable to heat. Keep the Tablet PC at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker. Avoid moving the Tablet PC abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature difference of more than 10 C (18 F) may cause condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media. General Guidelines Do not expose your skin to the Tablet PC when operating it in a very hot or cold environment. 61 Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC as this may damage the display. The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid touching it with a sharp object such as a pen or pencil. LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by limiting the amount of static content on the display. It is recommended that you use a screen saver or turn off the display when it is not in use. To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Cleaning Guidelines Never clean the Tablet PC with its power on. Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the Tablet PC. Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. If water or liquid is split onto the Tablet PC, wipe it dry and clean when possible. Though your Tablet PC is water-proof, do not leave the Tablet PC wet when you can dry it. If the Tablet PC gets wet where the temperature is 0C (32F) or below, freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet Tablet PC. Battery Pack Guidelines Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to the battery pack. The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will shorten its life:

when frequently charging the battery pack 62 when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature condition To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to frequently increase its internal temperature. Charge the battery pack between 10 C ~ 30 C (50 F ~ 86 F) temperature range. A higher environment temperature will cause the battery packs temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed vehicle and in hot weather condition. Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is not within the allowed temperature range. It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than once a day. It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the Tablet PCs power off. To maintain the battery packs operating efficiency, store it in a cool dark place removed from the Tablet PC and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge remaining. Important guidelines when using the battery pack. When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the following:

avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the Tablet PC is in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause loss of data or the Tablet PC may become unstable. avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur, thereby causing improper operation to it or the Tablet PC. The Tablet PCs input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly affect the battery packs charge and discharge time:

charging time will be prolonged when the Tablet PC is turned on. To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the Tablet PC in Sleep or hibernation mode. a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten the discharge time. 63 When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you may experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 C ~ 50 C (14 F ~ 122 F). Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than six months without recharging it. Touchscreen Guidelines Use the finger or the included stylus on the display. Using a sharp or metallic object other than your finger or stylus may cause scratches and damage the display, thereby causing errors. Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen surface. Turn off the Tablet PC power when cleaning the display. Cleaning the display with the power on may cause improper operation. Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display. Using the touchscreen during low temperature (less than 5 oC) may cause a slower response time, this is normal. A normal response time may be restored upon returning to room temperature. When there is noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen function

(wrong location on intended operation or improper display resolution), refer to the Windows online Help for instructions on recalibrating the touchscreen display. 64 When Traveling Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Make sure that the Tablet PC is turned off. Disconnect the AC adapter from the Tablet PC and take it with you. Use the AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger. Put the Tablet PC in a protective case. Hand-carry the Tablet PC. Do not check it in as luggage. If you need to leave the Tablet PC in the car, put it in the trunk of the car to avoid exposing the Tablet PC to excessive heat. When going through airport security, it is recommended that you send the Tablet PC and flash disks through the X-ray machine (the device you set your bags on). Avoid the magnetic detector (the device you walk through) or the magnetic wand (the handheld device used by security personnel). If you plan to travel abroad with your Tablet PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate AC power cord for use in your country of destination. 65 Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or both. When you encounter any problem, it might be a typical problem that can easily be solved. This chapter tells you what actions to take when solving common computer problems. 66 Preliminary Checklist Here are helpful hints to follow before you take further actions when you encounter any problem:

Try to isolate which part of the Tablet PC is causing the problem. Make sure that you turn on all peripheral devices before turning on the Tablet PC. If an external device has a problem, make sure that the cable connections are correct and secure. Make sure that the configuration information is properly set in the BIOS Setup program. Make sure that all the device drivers are correctly installed. Make notes of your observations. Are there any messages on the screen? Do any indicators light? Do you hear any beeps? Detailed descriptions are useful to the service personnel when you need to consult one for assistance. If any problem persists after you follow the instructions in this chapter, contact an authorized dealer for help. 67 Solving Common Problems Battery Problems The battery does not charge (Battery Charge Indicator does not light amber). Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected. Make sure that the battery is not too hot or cold. Allow time for the battery pack to return to room temperature. If the battery doesn't charge after it has been stored in very low temperatures, try disconnecting and reconnecting the AC adapter to solve the problem. Make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly. Make sure that the battery terminals are clean. The operating time of a fully charged battery becomes shorter. If you often partially recharge and discharge, the battery might not be charged to its full potential. Initialize the battery to solve the problem. The battery operating time indicated by the battery meter does not match the actual operating time. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the Tablet PC. If the actual operating time is much less than the estimated time, initialize the battery. BT Wireless Transmission Problems I cannot connect to another device with BT wireless technology. Make sure that both devices have activated BT feature. Make sure that the distance between the two devices is within the limit and that there are no walls or other obstructions between the devices. Make sure that the other device is not in Hidden mode. 68 Make sure that both devices are compatible. Display Problems Nothing appears on the screen. During operation, the screen may automatically turn off as a result of power management. Press any key to see if the screen comes back. The brightness level might be too low. Increase the brightness. The characters on the screen are dim. Adjust the brightness and/or contrast. The display brightness cannot be increased. As a protection, the display brightness will be fixed at a low level when the surrounding temperature is too high or too low. It is not a malfunction in this situation. Bad dots appear on the display at all times. A small number of missing, discolored, or bright dots on the screen are an intrinsic characteristic of TFT LCD technology. It is not regarded as a LCD defect. Clouding (or called mura) happens on the screen when you exert forces on the left or right side of the LCD frame. This is a normal phenomenon, not a defect. Hardware Device Problems The Tablet PC does not recognize a newly installed device. The device may not be correctly configured in the BIOS Setup program. Run the BIOS Setup program to identify the new type. Make sure if any device driver needs to be installed. (Refer to the documentation that came with the device.) 69 Make sure if the device needs any jumper or switch settings. (Refer to the documentation that came with the device.) Check the cables or power cords for correct connections. For an external device that has its own power switch, make sure that the power is turned on. Power Management Problems The Tablet PC does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode automatically. If you have a connection to another computer, the Tablet PC does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode if the connection is actively in use. Make sure that the Sleep or Hibernation time-out is enabled. The Tablet PC does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode immediately. If the Tablet PC is performing an operation, it normally waits for the operation to finish. The Tablet PC does not resume from Sleep or Hibernation mode. The Tablet PC automatically enters Sleep or Hibernation mode when the battery pack is empty. Do any one of the following:

Connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC. Replace the empty battery pack with a fully charged one. Sensor Problems (for Windows 10 Models Only) The built-in digital compass doesnt seem to be accurate. Rotating the display can affect the accuracy of the digital compass. This is normal, not a malfunction. The sensors for the compass require periodic recalibration. Follow this method to recalibrate the sensors:

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 ENERGY STAR 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. 92 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 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 All Getac products with ENERGY STAR logo comply with the ENERGY STAR standard, and the power management feature is enabled by default. The monitor and computer are automatically set to sleep after 15 and 30 minutes of user inactivity. To wake your computer, click the mouse or press any key on the keyboard. Please visit http://www.energystar.gov/powermanagement for detail information on power management and its benefits to the environment. 93 Battery Recycling For the U.S. and Canada only:
