Basic Operation Guide
If your 313Q contains Barcode Scanner or Front/Back Camera modules, please refer to the Tablet Modules Basic Operation Guide for detailed operation.

Power/Battery LED Status:

Blue indicates the battery is 25% to 100% charged
Blinking blue indicates the battery is charging
Orange indicates that the battery is between 11% to 25%
Blinking Orange indicates that the battery is below 10%

PRECAUTIONS

Always exercise care when operating and handling the 313Q
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 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 manufac-turer or its partners.
In the unlikely event that smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately power off the 313Q and disconnect all power sources. Report the problem to your device provider immediately.
Never attempt to disassemble the 313Q, as this will void the warranty.

BASIC FEATURES

The 313Q wireless tablet integrates a bright and multi-touch display, USB ports, and embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN. The 313Q is complemented by a suite of accessories, including battery expansion, charging cradles, and battery charger kit, for a comprehensive user experience.

A 313Q typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your 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 313Q, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the 313Q in Standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the 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 313Q when setting up for the first time to fully charge the internal battery pack.
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 313Q a few times to activate the charging process.
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.
For 301Q, 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 313Q may be configured using the utilities and methods dictated by the software operating system. The 313Q should be configurable for various properties such as user profiles, network features, and several system elements.

Wireless Networking

Wireless LAN
The 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 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 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 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.
