USER MANUAL DT311Y DT Research

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, DT Research Inc. follows the EPA's product qualification and certification process to ensure the products marked with the ENERGY STAR® logo are ENERGY STAR® qualified for energy efficiency.

The ENERGY STAR® program specifications for computers were to promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories. One way products achieve this goal is by using the Microsoft Windows power management feature to reduce power consumption when the product is not in use. The power management feature enables the computer to initiate a low-power or "sleep" mode after a period of user inactivity.

To take advantage of these potential energy savings, users should use the default power management settings that are provided with ENERGY STAR qualified computers. The default power management settings on ENERGY STAR® qualified computers are preset to behave in the following ways:

• Turn off display after 10 minutes of user inactivity.
• Initiate a low power sleep mode for the computer after 30 minutes of user inactivity.
• Briefly press the power button will bring the computer out of sleep mode.

Additional information on the ENERGY STAR® program, its environmental benefits and the potential energy and financial savings of the power management feature can be found on the EPA ENERGY STAR® Power Management Web site at http://www.energystar.gov/powermanagement.

PRECAUTIONS

Always exercise care when operating and handling the DT311Y.
- Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
We recommend using the Digital Pen (optional) to keep the screen clean.
- Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source. Wherever possible, the DT311Y should face away from direct light to reduce glare.
- If the AC-DC power adapter is used to recharge or power the tablet, do NOT use any AC-DC adapter other than the one provided 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 DT311Y and disconnect all power sources. Report the problem to your device provider immediately.
- Never attempt to disassemble the DT311Y, as this will void the warranty.

NOTE:

Toobtain protection consistent with any IP rating for the device, the I/O (audio, power, USB, card reader, etc.) port doors must be closed. If the IP protection is compromised by mishandling or misuse, such as by leaving port doors open or improperly closed, any resulting product damage will not be covered under any DT Research warranty.

BASIC FEATURES

The DT311Y rugged tablet integrates a bright display, USB ports, and embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN.

A DT311Y typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your DT311Y does not come with such a network adapter, please consult your device provider to establish the desired network connectivity.

OPERATION

Powering ON and OFF

To activate the DT311Y, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT311Y in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. Toturn the DT311Y off for extended storage, power off safely using any software function that "shuts down computer" provided in the software operating system.

NOTE:

The battery pack shipped with your tablet may be low in power—please use the AC-DC adapter with the DT311Y when setting up for the first time to fully charge the battery pack, or use the optional battery charger kit.

NOTE:

When the battery pack is charging, the blue-colored BatteryLED 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 DT311Y a few times to activate the charging process.

NOTE:

To conserve power, use (push and quick release) the Power Button to put the tablet in "Standby" mode while not in use. Pushing briefly on the same button will wake up the system within seconds.

NOTE:

For DT311Y, 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 mode 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 Mobile Tablet

The DT311Y may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system. The DT311Y should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several system elements.

Wireless Networking

Wireless LAN

The DT311Y is often delivered with an embedded (user-inaccessible) 802.11ac WLAN adapter equipped with a hidden custom antenna.

• Through the support of typical WLAN adapters, the DT311Y 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.
• TheSSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the DT311Y 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.
• When 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.

Battery Usage and Maintenance

DT Research tablets and laptops are powered by lithium polymer battery packs in proprietary form factors. Battery configurations for the DT Research devices include internal (bridge or backup), removable or swappable implementations.

Battery usage cycles, or duration between necessary re-charge, vary with a number of factors, including device model, device usage pattern and battery health/aging. The DTR battery packs may be charged while attached to the device or when separated from the device and docked in proprietary battery charging cradles. Following the guidelines on good practice below can help to keep a battery pack healthy and prolong battery usage cycles and battery lifespan.

Avoid high heat conditions during operation, idle, charging, and storage states.

Avoid letting the battery pack remain in very highly charged state or overly low charged state for extensive periods of time. Keeping the battery capacity between 30% and 80% of maximum capacity is recommended. The prevailing battery level(s) can be read from the Battery utility within the Windows operating system.

Avoid letting the battery be over-discharged or deplete. Over-discharge can occur when a fully-discharged (0% level or thereabouts) battery pack is allowed to remain in such a state for an extended period of time (weeks or months). The embedded battery controls enter a protection mode and recharging will be prevented for safety reasons. To reduce the likelihood of over-discharge, consider recharging idle batteries regularly to some level between 30%-80% of capacity.

For long term storage, it is recommended that removable battery packs be stored separated from the device. Otherwise, the system should be placed in Shutdown mode. The battery level will decrease with time and it is recommended that the battery packs be monitored or recharged every 2-3 months to maintain battery health. The targeted battery level should be within 30% to 80% of maximum capacity.
