4 Chapter 01: Getting Started
NOTE: When you first connect the tablet into an external power
source, the battery charge indicator will begin to glow amber. When
the battery is fully charged the indicator will turn green. (See the
section entitled Battery Care for tips on maximizing battery life and
performance.)
Step 3: Connecting applicable peripherals and networking
cables (optional)
If you have any external peripherals you’d like to use with the
tablet (i.e. USB mouse, USB keyboard, etc.) or are planning to
connect to the internet and/or corporate LAN using a wired
connection (RJ-45) as opposed to wirelessly, connect them now
(see the next section, Getting to know your Tablet PC, to identify
which ports to use).
Step 4: Powering on the Sahara Slate PC
Locate the three power switches on the top on the tablet. The
far left switch (closest to the PCMCIA Expansion slot) is the
computer’s main power toggle. Slide it toward the right side of
the unit and hold it there until it emits a blue glow (about one to
two seconds) and then release it. The Sahara Slate PC will now
boot up.
