PRECAUTIONS
-
Always exercise care when operating and handling the 301EY.
-
Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
-
Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source.
Wherever possible, the 301EY 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 301EY and disconnect all power sources. Report the problem to your device provider immediately.
-
Never attempt to disassemble the 301EY, as this will void the warranty.
NOTE: Toobtain 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 301EY rugged tablet integrates a bright display, USB ports, and embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN. A 301EY typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your 301EY does not come with such a network adapter, please consult your device provider to establish the desired network connectivity.
OPERATION
Powering ON and OFF
Toactivate the 301EY,push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the 301EY in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. Toturn the 301EY 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 301EY 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/ replugging the AC-DC adapter to the 301EY a few times to activate the charging process.
NOTE: Toconserve 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 301EY,avoidusingthePowerButton(“hold 9+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.
⚠ Caution: Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result in an explosion. Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
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 301EY may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system. The 301EY should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several system elements.
Wireless Networking
Wireless LAN The 301EY 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 301EY 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 301EY 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.
Peripherals Support
Through its USB ports, the 301EY 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. If the 301EY comes with a Mobile broadband module, please contact your product and/or service provider for the SIM Card installation procedures.
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.
- Slide the latch to the locked position.
- If you want to purchase extra battery packs, please contact your dealers, or visit our Support page: https://www.dtresearch.com/en/Support/contact.html
CAUTION:
There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
the battery only with the Tablet manufacturer’s battery. Discard used
batteries according to the dealer’s instructions.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack.
Battery Usage and Maintenance
DT Research tablets and laptops are powered by lithium polymer battery packs
in proprietary form factors. Battery configurations for the DT Research
devices include internal (bridge or backup), removable or swappable
implementations.
Battery usage cycles, or duration between necessary re-charge, vary with a
number of factors, including device model, device usage pattern and battery
health/aging. The DTR battery packs may be charged while attached to the
device or when separated from the device and docked in proprietary battery
charging cradles. Following the guidelines on good practice below can help to
keep a battery pack healthy and prolong battery usage cycles and battery
lifespan.
- Avoid high heat conditions during operation, idle, charging, and storage states.
- Avoid letting the battery pack remain in very highly charged state or overly low charged state for extensive periods of time. Keeping the battery capacity between 30% and 80% of maximum capacity is recommended. The prevailing battery level(s) can be read from the Battery utility within the Windows operating system.
- Avoid letting the battery be over-discharged or depleted. Over-discharge can occur when a fully-discharged (0% level or thereabouts) battery pack is allowed to remain in such a state for an extended period of time (weeks or months). The embedded battery controls enter a protection mode and recharging will be prevented for safety reasons. To reduce the likelihood of over-discharge, consider recharging idle batteries regularly to some level between 30%-80% of capacity.
- For long term storage, it is recommended that removable battery packs be stored separated from the device. Otherwise, the system should be placed in Shutdown mode. The battery level will decrease with time and it is recommended that the battery packs be monitored or recharged every 2-3 months to maintain battery health. The targeted battery level should be within 30% to 80% of maximum capacity.
