OPERATING YOUR TABLET | 11
Checking the Wireless Signal Strength
The signal strength indicator on the control panel lets you know
the strength of the signal that the tablet is receiving from the
wireless adapter. If the signal strength becomes too weak (for
example, you may be too far away from the wireless adapter),
the tablet cannot communicate with the PC. As the signal gets
weaker, browsing performance may slow or stop entirely.
Moving closer to the wireless adapter and raising the antenna
may improve reception.
Checking the Battery Charge
The battery power indicator, also on the control panel, lets you
know how much power is available in your tablet’s rechargeable
battery. When the battery charge level becomes low, a warning
message appears indicating that you should recharge the battery.
To recharge the battery, open the tablet access panel and
connect the AC adapter to the AC Power jack. If you purchased
an optional charging cradle, connect the AC adapter to the
charging cradle and then set the tablet into the cradle. It takes
approximately six hours to fully recharge the battery.
You can continue to use the tablet while it is charging.
Printing From the Tablet
You can print a web page from your tablet by pressing the print
button
on your tablet. The tablet sends the page that is currently
on the screen to the PC’s default Windows printer.
Turning the Screen Saver On and Off
If you turn the tablet off while it is connected to AC power, the
tablet displays screen saver information. To turn the screen
saver on and off, touch
controls on the button bar. At the control
panel, touch the
screen saver on/off button.
Typing With the Tablet
The on-screen keyboard is available whenever you need it.
When you want to type information in a text box, touch the text
box with your finger or the stylus to bring up the on-screen
keyboard. If the keyboard doesn’t display when you touch a text
box, touch
controls on the button bar, and then touch the show
keyboard
button.
The on-screen keyboard is similar to a standard PC keyboard.
Letters and numbers are in the same location; however, web
shortcut keys and commonly used web symbols have been
added. Special characters and symbols are available when you
touch the
symbols key.
If you purchased a charging cradle, you can use a more
conventional method of typing by plugging a standard
PS/2 keyboard into the cradle keyboard jack. Place the tablet
into the charging cradle and begin typing. When the PS/2
keyboard is connected, the on-screen keyboard will not
automatically appear. The charging cradle must be connected to
AC power when you use an attached keyboard.
Note: The tablet does not support special/shortcut keys on the
hardware keyboard, such as Internet shortcut keys and function
keys.
