Basic Features
The Tablet wireless tablet integrates a bright and responsive touch display, 1 USB port, and embedded networking elements such as Wi-Fi or optional 3G. The Tablet is complemented by a suite of accessories, including battery expansion, docking cradles, and wall/ vehicle mount cradles, for a comprehensive user experience.
A Tablet typically integrates an 802.11 Wi-Fi adapter that may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your Tablet does not come with such a network adapter, please consult your device provider to establish the desired network connectivity.
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 Tablet, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the Tablet in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the Tablet 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 Tablet 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 Tablet, 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 Tablet 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 DT398B/ DT398H/ DT398B-MD/ DT398B-MD-C
The tablet may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system. The Tablet should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several system elements.
DT398B/ DT398H/ DT398B-MD/ DT398B-MD-C
Calibration
The touch display for the Tablet 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
Wi-Fi
The Tablet is often delivered with an embedded (user-inaccessible) 802.11a/b/g/n WI-Fi adapter equipped with a hidden custom antenna.
- through the support of typical Wi-Fi adapters, the Tablet 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.
- The SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the Tablet 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.
- Wen 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.
Button Management
Where supported by software, many of the hard buttons on the Tablet 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 System Utility. The System screen will display a Brightness control section with up and down arrows that can be activated with the stylus.
Battery and Power Management
The Tablet is equipped with an Internal Li-Ion battery pack and an optional 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/ DT398B-MD may also be configured to enter various power-saving modes via the Power Button or through timed entry.

The Tablet 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, video outputs and USB ports. Always seat the Tablet securely onto the cradle. The cradle must be powered by the AC-DC adapter for the Ethernet and USB ports to function.
