PRECAUTIONS

• Always exercise care when operating and handling the DT361DM.
• 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 DT361DM 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 DT361DM and disconnect all power sources. Report the problem to your device provider immediately.
• Never attempt to disassemble the DT361DM, 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 DT361DM rugged tablet integrates a dual mode switchable NVIS or high- brightness touchscreen, USB ports, and embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN. A DT361DM typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your DT361DM 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 DT361DM, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT361DM in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the DT361DM off for extended storage, power off safely using any software function that “shuts down the 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 DT361DM when setting up for the first time to fully charge the battery pack, or use the optional battery charger kit.

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:
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 Rugged Tablet
The DT361DM may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system. The DT361DM should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several system elements.

NVIS Mode and Screen Brightness Control (optional)

• When the power button is pressed to power on the unit, the power LED will flash orange once to indicate the unit is booting. Unit will boot into NVIS mode with zero nit brightness by default and display will be dark. You can press the “Brightness Up” and “Brightness Down” buttons to set the NVIS mode display to the desired brightness (up to 20 nits).
• To toggle between NVIS and high-brightness display mode, press the “NVIS/Normal Mode Toggle” button. When changed from NVIS mode to high-brightness mode, display brightness percentage will be same as the brightness level set in NVIS mode before toggling.
• Use brightness control buttons to set the desired brightness level. When changed from normal display mode to NVIS mode, the display brightness will be set to 0 nit (display is dark) and you need to use brightness control buttons to change display to desired brightness.

Wireless Networking

Wireless LAN
The DT361DM 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 DT361DM should be able to detect all 802.11 access points in the vicinity to select the access point of choice for connection.
• The SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2 (if enabled) parameters on the DT361DM and the access points have to match. The SSID is case-sensitive and it is recommended to 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 RUGGED TABLET

Peripherals Support
Through its USB 3.0 port, the DT361DM 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.

RF Exposure Information (RED & UKCA)

To be protected against all verified adverse effects, the separation distance of at least 0mm must be maintained between the antenna of the radio having max. 3.3dBi antenna and all persons. Hereby, [DT Research, Inc.] declares that the radio equipment type [DT361DM] complies with Directive 2014/53/EU and UK Radio Equipment Regulations 2017. The full text of the EU and UK declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: http://www.dtresearch.com. The functions of Wireless Access Systems including Radio Local Area Networks(WAS/RLANs) within the band 5150-5350 MHz for this device are restricted to indoor use only within all European Union countries (BE/BG/CZ/DK/DE/EE/IE/EL/ES/FR/HR/ IT/CY/LV/LT/LU/HU/MT/NL/AT/PL/PT/RO/SI/ SK/FI/SE/TR/N O/CH/IS/LI/UK(NI).

Maximum EIRP for EU

This equipment complies with Directive 2014/53/EU and UK Radio Equipment Regulations 2017 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The end user must follow the specific operating instructions to satisfy RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The portable device is designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the European Union market(France). These requirements set a SAR limit of 2W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value 0.99 W/kg reported under this standard during product certification for use when properly worn on the body. The equipment has been tested with radios set to their highest transmission levels with the following setup:

Mode

| use against the head| worn or carried against the torso of the body|

Worn on limbs
