Chapter 3
Managing Power
Your Tablet PC operates either on external AC power or on internal battery
power. This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To
maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery
in the proper way.
25
AC Adapter
CAUTION: The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only.
Connecting
the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter. The AC power cord
supplied with your Tablet PC is for use in the country
where you purchased your Tablet PC. If you plan to go overseas with the Tablet
PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord. When you disconnect
the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the
Tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or Tablet PC. When
unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord.
The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC
(Direct Current) power because your Tablet PC runs on DC power, but an
electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack
when connected to AC power. The adapter operates on any voltage in the range
of 100 V 240 V AC.
26
Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet PC. It is
rechargeable using the AC adapter.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE: Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is outside the
allowed
range, which is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F). Once the temperature
meets the requirements, charging automatically resumes. During charging, do
not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged;
otherwise, you will get a prematurely charged battery. The battery has a high
temperature protection mechanism which limits the maximum charge of the
battery to 80% of its total capacity in the event of high temperature
conditions. In such conditions, the battery will be regarded as fully charged
at 80% capacity. The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-
discharge process, even when the battery pack is fully charged. This happens
no matter if the battery pack is installed in the Tablet PC.
To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an
electrical outlet. The Battery Indicator ( ) on the Tablet PC glows amber to
indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the Tablet PC
power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully
charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green.
The charging time is approximately 3 hours (for the standard battery pack) and
5.5 hours (for the high-capacity battery pack) when the power is off.
CAUTION: After the Tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately
disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may
damage the battery.
27
Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time
or when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than
expected. Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then
charging. It can take several hours. The G-Manager program provides a tool
called “Battery Recalibration” for the purpose. (See “G-Manager” in Chapter
6.)
Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual
operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you
are using the Tablet PC. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack
depends on how you are using the Tablet PC. When your applications often
access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time.
By Operating System
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function
of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows, click the
battery icon on the taskbar.
By Gas Gauge
On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the
estimated battery charge.
Push-button
28
When the battery pack is not installed in the Tablet PC and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the push-button to see the number of LEDs that light up. Each LED represents 20% charge.
Battery Low Signals and Actions
The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery.
Battery Icon

Description
Discharging The icon shows the charge remaining in 10-percent increments until the charge reaches the low-battery level.
Low
The battery charge has reached the low-battery
level.
Critically low
The battery charge has reached the critical battery level. By default, Windows will display a notification and put your Tablet PC into Hibernation.
When the battery is low, the Tablet PC’s Battery Indicator ( red to alert you to take actions.
) also blinks
Always respond to low-battery by connecting the AC adapter, placing your Tablet PC in Hibernation mode, or turning off the Tablet PC.
29
Replacing the Battery Pack
CAUTION: There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace the battery only with the Tablet PC manufacturer’s battery packs.
Discard used batteries according to the dealer’s instructions. Do not attempt
to disassemble the battery pack. A battery pack can get hot due to long
working hours. Do not touch a hot battery pack with bare hands. After removing
a battery pack, put it in a well-ventilated area. NOTE: You can hot swap the
battery pack if your model has the bridge battery. If you have the high-
capacity battery model, the battery pack looks different from the one shown
here. The removal and installation method is the same. 1. Skip this step if
you are hot swapping the battery pack. (See “Hot Swapping the Battery Pack
(Optional)” for more information.) Turn off the Tablet PC and disconnect the
AC adapter. After turning off the Tablet PC, allow a cool-down time of at
least 5 minutes before removing the battery pack. 2. Slide the security lock
of the battery release latch to the unlocked position (). Slide the battery
release latch upwards (). The battery pack will slightly pop up. Remove the
battery pack from its compartment ().
30

Locked Unlocked
CAUTION: Make sure the lock is correctly locked, not revealing the underneath
red part.
31
Hot Swapping the Battery Pack (Optional)
You can hot swap the battery pack if your model has the bridge battery. “Hot
swapping” means you can safely replace the battery pack without shutting down
while your Tablet PC is running on battery power.
Hints and Reminders
See “Replacing the Battery Pack” for replacement instructions and note the
following hints and reminders on hot swapping: Make sure the battery pack to
be installed is charged. The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping
the battery pack
is between -15°C (5 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F). Check the Battery Hot Swapping
Indicator after removing the battery
pack. Hot swap the battery pack only when the indicator lights in green. A red
light means there is not enough extra power for you to safely hot swap the
battery pack.
Battery Hot Swapping Indicator
Once a battery pack is removed, the display brightness level will be fixed at
a low level and cannot be adjusted.
If a charged battery pack is not inserted within 2 minutes, the Tablet PC
enters Hibernation mode.
After removing the battery pack, do not connect and immediately disconnect the
AC adapter. This will shut down the Tablet PC.
32
About the Bridge Battery
For models having the bridge battery: The bridge battery is not user-
replaceable and is invisible to the operating
system. It never functions as the power source as long as the battery pack is
installed. The bridge battery is charged by external AC power if the AC
adapter is connected. If the Battery Hot Swapping Indicator blinks in amber,
it means the bridge battery charging is in an abnormal state. Replace the
bridge battery in case this happens.
33
Power-Saving Tips
Aside from enabling your Tablet PC’s power saving mode, you can do your part
to maximize the battery’s operating time by following these suggestions. Do
not disable Power Management. Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest
comfortable level. Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the
display. When not using a connected device, disconnect it. Turn off the
wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module
(such as WLAN, Bluetooth, or WWAN). Turn off the Tablet PC when you are not
using it.

Chapter 4
Using Options and Peripherals
This chapter describes the use of optional modules and the connection of
peripherals.
35
Using the Fingerprint Scanner (Optional)
CAUTION: For optimal performance, both the scanning surface and the finger
should be clean and dry. Clean the scanning surface when needed. You can use
adhesive tape to remove dirt and oil from the scanner surface. It is not
recommended that you use the fingerprint scanner in a belowfreezing
temperature. The moisture on your finger can freeze to the scanner’s metal
surface when you touch it, resulting in a failed operation. Besides, touching
freezing metal with your finger can cause frostbite.
The fingerprint scanner (if your model has the feature) provides a strong
authentication mechanism based on fingerprint recognition. You can log on to
Windows and dismiss the lock screen with an enrolled fingerprint instead of a
password or PIN.

Taking Care of the Tablet PC
Location Guidelines
For optimal performance, use the Tablet PC where the recommended temperature
is between -15 °C (5 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F). (Actual operating temperature
depends on product specifications.)
Avoid placing the Tablet PC in a location subject to high humidity, extreme
temperatures, mechanical vibration, or heavy dust. Using in extreme
environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and a
shortened product life.
Operating in an environment with metallic dust is not allowed.
Place the Tablet PC on a flat and steady surface. A strong impact by dropping
or hitting may damage the Tablet PC.
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the Tablet PC. For example,
do not place the Tablet PC on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the Tablet PC.
As the Tablet PC can become very hot during operation, keep it away from
objects that are vulnerable to heat.
Keep the Tablet PC at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances
that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor,
or a large audio speaker.
Avoid moving the Tablet PC abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature
difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) may cause condensation inside the unit,
which may damage the storage media.
General Guidelines
Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC as this may damage the
display.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with any sharp object.
LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for
a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by
59
limiting the amount of static content on the display. It is recommended that
you use a screen saver or turn off the display when it is not in use.
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to
automatically turn off as a result of power management.
Cleaning Guidelines
Never clean the Tablet PC with its power on.
Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the
exterior of the Tablet PC.
Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth.
If water or liquid is split onto the Tablet PC, wipe it dry and clean when
possible. Though your Tablet PC is water-proof, do not leave the Tablet PC wet
when you can dry it.
If the Tablet PC gets wet where the temperature is 0°C (32°F) or below, freeze
damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet Tablet PC.
Battery Pack Guidelines
Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make
sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to the
battery pack.
The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will
shorten its life: when frequently charging the battery pack when using,
charging, or storing the battery in high temperature condition
To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging
its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to
frequently increase its internal temperature.
Charge the battery pack between 10 °C ~ 30 °C (50 °F ~ 86 °F) temperature
range. A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s
temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed vehicle
and in hot weather condition. Also, charging will not start if the battery
pack is not within the allowed temperature range.
60
It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than once a
day.
It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the Tablet PC’s power
off.
To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool dark
place removed from the Tablet PC and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge remaining.
Important guidelines when using the battery pack. When installing or removing
the battery pack take note of the following: avoid installing or removing
the battery pack when the Tablet PC is in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the
battery pack may cause loss of data or the Tablet PC may become unstable.
avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur, thereby causing
improper operation to it or the Tablet PC. The Tablet PC’s input voltage and
surrounding temperature will directly affect the battery pack’s charge and
discharge time: charging time will be prolonged when the Tablet PC is turned
on. To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the Tablet
PC in Sleep or hibernation mode. a low temperature will prolong the charging
time as well as hasten the discharge time.
When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you may
experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This
phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The
appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C (14 °F ~
122 °F).
Do not leave the battery pack in storage for more than six months without
recharging it.
Touchscreen Guidelines
Use your finger or the stylus on the display. Using a sharp or metallic object
other than your finger or stylus may cause scratches and damage the display,
thereby causing errors.
Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has a
special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not
61
using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the
touchscreen surface. Turn off the Tablet PC power when cleaning the display.
Cleaning the display with the power on may cause improper operation. Do not
use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the
display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display. In
low and high temperatures (below 5 oC / 41 °F and above 60 oC / 140 °F), the
touchscreen may have a slower response time or register the touch in the wrong
location. It will go back to normal after returning to room temperature. When
there is noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen function
(wrong location on intended operation or improper display resolution), refer
to the Windows online Help for instructions on recalibrating the touchscreen

Do any indicators light? Do you hear any beeps? Detailed descriptions are
useful to the service personnel when you need to consult one for assistance.
If any problem persists after you follow the instructions in this chapter,
contact an authorized dealer for help.
65
Solving Common Problems
Battery Problems
The battery does not charge (Battery Charge indicator does not light amber).
Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected. Make sure that the
battery is not too hot or cold. Allow time for the
battery pack to return to room temperature. If the battery doesn’t charge
after it has been stored in very low
temperatures, try disconnecting and reconnecting the AC adapter to solve the
problem. Make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly. Make sure
that the battery terminals are clean.
The operating time of a fully charged battery becomes shorter. If you often
partially recharge and discharge, the battery might not be
charged to its full potential. Initialize the battery to solve the problem.
The battery operating time indicated by the battery meter does not match the
actual operating time. The actual operating time can be different from the
estimated time,
depending on how you are using the Tablet PC. If the actual operating time is
much less than the estimated time, initialize the battery.
Bluetooth Problems
I cannot connect to another device with Bluetooth wireless technology. Make
sure that both devices have activated Bluetooth feature. Make sure that the
distance between the two devices is within the limit
and that there are no walls or other obstructions between the devices. Make
sure that the other device is not in “Hidden” mode.
66
Make sure that both devices are compatible.
Display Problems
Nothing appears on the screen. During operation, the screen may automatically
turn off as a result of
power management. Press any key to see if the screen comes back. The
brightness level might be too low. Increase the brightness. The display output
might be set to an external device. Switch the display
back to the internal LCD.
The characters on the screen are dim. Adjust the brightness and/or contrast.
The display brightness cannot be increased. As a protection, the display
brightness will be fixed at a low level when
the surrounding temperature is too high or too low. It is not a malfunction in
this situation.
Bad dots appear on the display at all times. A small number of missing,
discolored, or bright dots on the screen are
an intrinsic characteristic of TFT LCD technology. It is not regarded as a LCD
defect.
Clouding (or called “mura”) happens on the screen when you exert forces on the
left or right side of the LCD frame. This is a normal phenomenon, not a
defect.
The display has a slower response time in low temperature environments. The
response time of LCDs can be affected by low temperatures. This
does not mean the LCD is defective. The LCD will resume normal response time
after returning to room temperature.
67
Fingerprint Scanner Problems
The following message appears during the fingerprint enrollment process
“Your device is having trouble recognizing you. Make sure your sensor is
clean.” When enrolling a fingerprint, make sure you move your finger slightly
between each reading. Not moving or moving too much can both result in
fingerprint reading failures.
The following message appears during the fingerprint login process “Couldn’t
recognize that fingerprint. Make sure you’ve set up your fingerprint in
Windows Hello.” When placing your finger on the scanner, make sure your finger
aims at
the center of the scanner surface and covers as much area as possible.
If a fingerprint login frequently fails, try enrolling again.
Hardware Device Problems
The Tablet PC does not recognize a newly installed device. The device may not
be correctly configured in the BIOS Setup program.
Run the BIOS Setup program to identify the new type.
Make sure if any device driver needs to be installed. (Refer to the
documentation that came with the device.)
Check the cables or power cords for correct connections.
For an external device that has its own power switch, make sure that the power
is turned on.
Power Management Problems
The Tablet PC does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode automatically. If you
have a connection to another computer, the Tablet PC does not
enter Sleep or Hibernation mode if the connection is actively in use.
Make sure that the Sleep or Hibernation time-out is enabled.
68
The Tablet PC does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode immediately. If the
Tablet PC is performing an operation, it normally waits for the
operation to finish.
The Tablet PC does not resume from Sleep or Hibernation mode. The Tablet PC
automatically enters Sleep or Hibernation mode when the
battery pack is empty. Do any one of the following: – Connect the AC adapter
to the Tablet PC. – Replace the empty battery pack with a fully charged one.
Software Problems
An application program does not work correctly. Make sure that the software is
correctly installed. If an error message appears on the screen, consult the
software program’s
documentation for further information. If you are sure the operation has
stopped, reset the Tablet PC.
Sound Problems
No sound is produced. Make sure that the volume control is not set too low.
Increase the
volume. Make sure that the sound is not muted. Make sure that the Tablet PC is
not in Sleep mode. If using an external speaker, make sure that the speaker is
properly
connected.
Distorted sound is produced. Make sure that the volume control is not set too
high or too low. In most
cases, a high setting can cause the audio electronics to distort the sound.
69
Startup Problems
When you turn on the Tablet PC, it does not respond and the Power Indicator
does not light green. If you are using an external AC power, make sure that
the AC adapter is
correctly and securely connected. If so, make sure that the electrical outlet
works properly. If you are using the battery power, make sure that the battery
is not discharged.
When you turn on the Tablet PC, it stops after POST. Reset your Tablet PC.
WLAN Problems
I cannot use the WLAN feature. Make sure that the WLAN feature is turned on.
Transmission quality is poor. Your Tablet PC may be in an out-of-range
situation. Move your Tablet
PC closer to the Access Point or another WLAN device it is associated with.
Check if there is high interference around the environment and solve the
problem as described next.
Radio interference exists. Move your Tablet PC away from the device causing
the radio
interference such as microwave oven and large metal objects. Plug your Tablet
PC into an outlet on a different branch circuit from
that used by the affecting device. Consult your dealer or an experienced radio
technician for help.
I cannot connect to another WLAN device. Make sure that the WLAN feature is
turned on.
70
Make sure that the SSID setting is the same for every WLAN device in the
network.
Your Tablet PC is not recognizing changes. Restart the Tablet PC. Make sure
that the IP address or subnet mask setting is correct.
I cannot communicate with the Tablet PC in the network when Infrastructure
mode is configured. Make sure that the Access Point your Tablet PC is

I cannot access the network. Make sure that the network configuration is
appropriate. Make sure that the user name or password is correct. You have
moved out of range of the network. Turn off power management.
Other Problems
The date/time is incorrect. Correct the date and time via the operating system
or BIOS Setup
program. After you have performed everything as described above and still have
the incorrect date and time every time you turn on the Tablet PC, the
71
RTC (Real-Time Clock) battery is at the end of its life. Call an authorized
dealer to replace the RTC battery. GPS signals drop when they are not supposed
to. If your Tablet PC is connected to the docking station which has one or
more USB 3.2/3.1/3.0 devices connected, the USB device can interfere with the
radio frequency, causing poor GPS signal reception. To solve the problem in
this situation, run the BIOS Setup Utility, go to Advanced Device
Configuration Docking USB Port Setting and change the setting to USB 2.0.
72
Resetting the Tablet PC
You may have to reset (reboot) your Tablet PC on some occasions when an error

System Recovery
Using Windows RE
Windows has a recovery environment (Windows RE) that provides recovery,
repair, and troubleshooting tools. The tools are referred to as Advanced
Startup Options. You can access these options by selecting Start Settings
Update & security Recovery (for Windows 10) or Start Settings System Recovery
(for Windows 11). There are several choices: System Restore
This option allows you to restore Windows to an earlier point in time if you
have created a restore point. Recover from a drive If you have created a
recovery drive on Windows, you can use the recovery drive to reinstall
Windows. Reset this PC This option allows you to reinstall Windows with or
without keeping your files. See Microsoft website for more information. NOTE:
If you are in a situation where your Tablet PC won’t boot into Windows, you
can access the Advanced Startup Options by running the BIOS Setup Utility and
selecting Advanced Windows RE. System recovery for Windows typically will take
several hours to complete.
74
Using Recovery Partition
When necessary, you can restore your Windows system to the factory default
state by using the “recovery partition” feature. Recovery partition is a
portion of your hard disk drive that is set aside by the manufacturer to hold
the original image of your system. WARNING: Using this feature will reinstall
Windows to your system and configure it
to the system’s factory default settings. All data on the hard disk drive will
be lost. Make sure that power is not interrupted during the recovery process.
An unsuccessful recovery may result in Windows startup problems. To restore
your system to the factory default state: 1. Connect the AC adapter. 2. Run
BIOS Setup Utility. Select Advanced Recovery Partition. (See Chapter 5 for
more information.) 3. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the
process.
75
Using the Driver Disc (Optional)
NOTE: You can download the latest drivers and utilities from Getac website at
http://www.getac.com Support. The Driver disc contains drivers and utilities
required for specific hardware in your Tablet PC. Since your Tablet PC comes
with drivers and utilities pre-installed, you normally do not need to use the
Driver disc. In case you want to manually install Windows, you will have to
install the drivers and utilities one by one after installing Windows. To
manually install drivers and utilities: 1. Start up the Tablet PC. 2. Prepare
an external CD/DVD drive (with USB connection). Connect the
drive to your Tablet PC. Wait for the Tablet PC to recognize the drive. 3.
Insert the Driver disc. Make sure you use the disc that matches the
Windows version of your Tablet PC. 4. The autorun program should automatically
start. You will see the
installation menu. Select NEXT to go to the next page if there is more than
one. 5. To install a driver or utility, just select the particular button and

Heat Related Concerns
Your device may become very warm during normal use. It complies with the user-
accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standards
for Safety. Still, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of
time may cause discomfort or injury. To reduce potential heatrelated concerns,
follow these guidelines: Keep your device and its AC adapter in a well-
ventilated area when in
use or charging. Allow for adequate air circulation under and around the
device. Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact
with your device or its AC adapter when it’s operating or connected to a power
source. For example, don’t sleep with your device or its AC adapter, or place
it under a blanket or pillow, and avoid contact between your body and your
device when the AC adapter is connected to a power source. Take special care
if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat
against the body. If your device is used for long periods, its surface can
become very warm. While the temperature may not feel hot to the touch, if you
maintain physical contact with the device for a long time, for example if you
rest the device on your lap, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury. If your
device is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and
place it on a stable work surface. Never place your device or AC adapter on
furniture or any other surface that might be marred by exposure to heat since
the base of your device and the surface of the AC adaptor may increase in
temperature during normal use.
