PRECAUTIONS

Always exercise care when operating and handling the DT301Y/ 301Q
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 DT301Y/ 301Q 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 DT301Y/ 301Q and disconnect all power sources.
Report the problem to your device provider immediately.
Never attempt to disassemble the DT301Y/ 301Q, as this will void the warranty

NOTE:
To obtain 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 DT301Y/ 301Q rugged tablet integrates a bright display, USB ports, and embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN or optional 4G.

A DT301Y/ 301Q typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your DT301Y/ 301Q 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 DT301Y/ 301Q, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT301Y/ 301Q in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the DT301Y/ 301Q 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 DT301Y/ 301Q 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 Battery LED 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/ reclogging the AC-DC adapter to the DT301Y/ 301Q 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 DT301Y, 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 DT301Y/ 301Q may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system. The DT301Y/ 301Q should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several system elements.

Wireless Networking

Wireless LAN
The DT301Y/ 301Q 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 DT301Y/ 301Q 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.
The SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the DT301Y/ 301Q 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.

USING THE MOBILE TABLET

Peripherals Support

Through its USB 3.0 port, the DT301Y/ 301Q supports a wide range of USB based peripherals. These peripherals are applicable for software installation, applications storage, data storage, and system software recovery and updates.

Replacing the Battery Pack

Slide the battery latch to the unlocked position.
Lift the battery pack off the compartment.
Fit another battery pack into place.
