- 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 DT313Y/ 313Q 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 DT313Y/ 313Q and disconnect all power sources. Report the problem to your device provider immediately.
- Never attempt to disassemble the DT313Y/ 313Q, as this will void the warranty.

BASIC FEATURES
The DT313Y/ 313Q wireless tablet integrates a bright and multi-touch display,
USB ports, and embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN. The DT313Y/
313Q is complemented by a suite of accessories, including battery expansion,
charging cradles, and battery charger kit, for a comprehensive user
experience.
A DT313Y/ 313Q typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter
that may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your DT313Y/
313Q 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 DT313Y/ 313Q, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT313Y/ 313Q in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the DT313Y/ 313Q 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 DT313Y/ 313Q when setting up for the first time to
fully charge the internal battery pack.
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 may have been drained
substantially. Try unplugging/ replugging the AC-DC adapter to the DT313Y/
313Q 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 DT313Y, 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 DT313Y/ 313Q may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system. The DT313Y/ 313Q should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several system elements.
Wireless Networking
Wireless LAN
The DT313Y/ 313Q 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 DT313Y/ 313Q 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 DT313Y/ 313Q 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 ports, the DT313Y/ 313Q 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.
