PRECAUTIONS
- Always exercise care when operating and handling the DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR
- Do not disassemble any portion of the DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR, as this will void any product warranty.
- Do not use any power adapter or charging cradle other than the one provided with the tablet or acquired from the manufacturer or its partners.
- In the unlikely event that abnormal noise, strange odor, or smoke is present, immediately power down the DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR and disconnect all power sources. Please report the problem to your device provider immediately.
OPERATION
Powering ON and OFF
To activate DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR, push and quickly release the Power Button.
The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR in
standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the DT382GL/
DT382GL-TR off for extended storage, power off safely using any software
function that “shuts down computer” provided in the software operating system.
NOTE:
The battery packs shipped with your tablet may be low in power – please use
the AC-DC adapter with the DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR when setting up for the first
time to fully charge the battery pack.
- To conserve power, push and quick release the Power Button to make the tablet in standby mode while not in use. Pushing briefly on the same butt on will wake up the system.
- 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. Unplug/ replug the A3C-DC adapter to the DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR a few times to activate the charging process.
- 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.
Wireless Networking
Wireless LAN
The DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR is often delivered with an embedded (user-
inaccessible) 802.11ac LAN adapter equipped with a hidden custom antenna.
- Through the support of typical WLAN adapters, the DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR 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 DT362G 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.
Data Capture Module Operation Guide
If your DT382GL/ DT382GL-TR comes with an RFID Reader refer to the steps below
to configure the settings.
UHF RFID Reader:
The optional UHF RFID reader supports EPC Gen2V2 and ISO 18000-63 standard. To
develop an application to use the UHF RFID reader, contact your device
provider for a UHF RFID reader API package
NOTE:
To ensure the system performance, turn on only the symbologies you are going
to use.
