24. Useful tips on saving energy ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Deactivate the WiFi function when it is not in use. Deactivate the Bluetooth connection when it is not in use. Only leave the tablet connected to the socket until the battery is fully charged. Switch to standby mode when the tablet is not in use or switch it off completely. 25. Troubleshooting/FAQ In the following, you will find a list of frequently asked questions along with the appropriate answers and proposed solutions.
Why does my Surftab just switch off sometimes? If the energy level of the battery falls below a critical level, the Surftab displays a corresponding warning. If you ignore these warnings, the Surftab will turn off in order to counteract total discharge of the battery. Total discharge can lead to a situation where it is no longer possible to charge the Surftab. For this reason, connect the tablet to the charger at this point at the latest in order to prevent data loss and damage to the battery.
Bluetooth Bluetooth is a standardised wireless interface on your Surftab that enables a wireless exchange of data between your Surftab and other suitable peripheral devices. Multi-touch display A touch display is a screen that responds to command inputs via pressure points (for example, from a finger or a stylus pen). The multi-touch display is an extension of the "simple" touch display: It can simultaneously recognise the input of multiple pressure points.
