Turning On Your X7 for the First Time
Press the Power button on the left control panel. If this is the first time the computer has been
started since you received it, the Microsoft Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) setup instructions
will appear after the computer boots up. Follow these instructions to configure your Windows
operating system software.
Turning the Computer On Normally
Turn the computer on by pressing and releasing the Power button. The ARMOR X7 will perform
self-checking routines during the start-up process. All units are configured at the factory to
automatically boot to the Microsoft Windows desktop unless a custom configuration has been
requested.
Putting the Computer in Sleep Mode
To put the tablet into sleep mode, press and release the Power button while the tablet is
operating. NOTE: This is the default action of the Power button but this can be changed in
Windows Control Panel (see
Changing the Power Button for instructions).
You can also put the computer to sleep from the Windows desktop. Click on the Start button
and click the down arrow next to the Shut Down button, then select Sleep.
When the computer is in sleep mode, the screen will be dark and all LED will be off except the
battery status indicator. This LED will flash at a 1 sec rate to indicate the computer is in sleep
mode. The computer will continue to run normally in the background and your session will be
held in suspension.
Press and release the Power button again to wake up the computer and return to your session.
Turning the Computer Off Normally
To turn the computer off normally, select Start à Shut down from the Windows desktop. The
computer will perform a normal shutdown.
NOTE
Do not press and release the Power button to turn off the computer. This will
only put the computer into sleep mode and the screen
will go dark. This
could be mistaken for a power off condition while the computer is actually
still running and consuming battery power.
