Precautions

• Always exercise care when operating and handling the T398C/DT398B.
- Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
• We recommend using the Stylus provided to keep the screen clean.
- Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source. Wherever possible, the DT398C/ DT398B should face away from direct light to reduce glare.
- If the AC-DC power adapter is used to recharge or power the ablet, do NOT use any AC-DC adapter other than the one provided with the tablet or acquired from the manufacturer or its partners.
- In the unlikely event that smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately power off the DT398C/ DT398B and disconnect all power sources. Report the problem to your device provider immediately.
- Never attempt to disassemble the T398C/ DT398B, as this will void the warranty.

Basic Features

The DT398C/ DT398B wireless tablet integrates a bright and responsive touch display, 1 USB port, and embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN or optional 3G. The DT398C/ DT398B is complemented by a suite of accessories, including battery expansion, docking cradles, and wall/ vehicle mount cradles, for a comprehensive user experience.

A DT398C/ DT398B typically integrates an 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your DT398C/ DT398B does not come with such a network adapter, please consult your device provider to establish the desired network connectivity.

DT398C/ DT398B

OPERATION

Internal Battery

Warning!

The Internal battery pack should only be replaced by an authorized DT Research service representative. Please contact your product and/or service provider for internal battery replacement service.

Powering ON and OFF

To activate the DT398C/ DT398B, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT398C/ DT398B in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the DT398C/ DT398B 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 DT398C/ DT398B 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 DT398C/ DT398B, or with the optional external battery charger kit.

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 DT398C/ DT398B a few times to activate the charging process.

NOTE: To conserve power, use (push and quick release) the Power Button to put 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

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.

Configuring the DT398C/ DT398B

The tablet may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system. The DT398C/ DT398B should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several system elements.

Calibration

The touch display for the DT398C/ DT398B is calibrated before shipping. In the event that the calibration has been modified or is unsatisfactory, the respective calibration routines (e.g., PenMount (PM) to calibrate the touch interface may be used. Such applications are typically executed through touch input via Stylus or through mouse click via a USB mouse.

Wireless Networking

Wireless LAN

The DT398C/ DT398B 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 DT398C/DT398B 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.
  • lie SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the DT398C/ DT398B 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.
  • Men WEP/WPA/WPA2 is enabled, you may 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.

DT398C/ DT398B

Button Management

Where supported by software, many of the hard buttons on the DT398C/ DT398B are programmable to perform a function of the user's choice. To activate the button re-assignment application, invoke the Button Manager application.

Brightness Control

To control the screen brightness, launch the Windows Mobility Center. Users can increase or decrease the brightness level of the LCD panel by moving the slider to adjust the brightness of your display.

Battery and Power Management

The DT398C/ DT398B is equipped with an internal Li-Ion battery pack and an optional external battery pack that clips (hot-pluggable) onto the back of the tablet. The period between battery recharges can be significantly lengthened by putting the tablet into Standby mode through the Power Button (see Buttons Function Table) whenever the tablet is not in use. Depending on the operating software, the DT398C/ DT398B may also be configured to enter various power-saving modes via the Power Button or through timed entry.

USING THE DT398C/ DT398B

Peripherals Support

Through its USB port, the DT398C/ DT398B supports a wide range of USB-based peripherals. These peripherals are applicable for software installation, applications storage, data storage, docking or software recovery and update.

The DT398C/ DT398B is complemented by an optional Desktop Cradle or Wall/ Vehicle Mount Cradle for support, pass-through charging, and connection to a range of USB peripherals, including keyboard and mouse. The Cradles offer the following interfaces: a DC-In port for the AC-DC adapter, an Ethernet port, a VGA output and USB ports. Always seat the DT398C/ DT398B 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 DT398C/ DT398B may be recharged by connecting the AC-DC adapter directly to the DC-in port on the DT398C/ DT398B or through the DC-in port on the Cradle while the DT398C/ DT398B is docked.

Remote Management

Depending on software configuration, the DT398C/ DT398B can be centrally managed for asset monitoring and for software control. Please consult your device provider.
