OPERATION
Powering ON and OFF
To activate DT362GL/ 362Q, push and quickly release the Power Button. The
display will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT362GL/ 362Q in standby
mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the DT362GL/ 362Q 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 DT362GL/ 362Q when setting up for the first time to fully charge the battery pack.
- To conserve power, 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.
- 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 AC-DC adapter to the DT362GL/ 362Q a few times to activate the charging process.
- For DT362GL, 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 DT362GL/ 362Q 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 DT362GL/ 362Q 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 DT362GL/ 362Q and the access points have to match. The SSID is case-sensitive and it is recom-mended 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.
Bluetooth
The Bluetooth configuration application is enabled from the Windows System
Tray or from the Android Settings APP. Follow the instructions and options
provided within the application to configure and invoke Bluetooth connectivity
with the corresponding peripherals.
Data Capture Module Operation Guide
If your DT362GL/ 362Q comes with a 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 optimal system performance, turn on only the symbologies you are
going to use.
