RECAUTIONS

Always exercise care when operating and handling the DT382GL
Do not disassemble any portion of the DT382GL, as this will void any product warranty.
Do not use any power adapter or charging cradle other than the one provided with the tablet or acquired from the manufacturer or its partners.
In the unlikely event that abnormal noise, strange odor, or smoke is present, immediately power down the DT382GL and disconnect all power sources.
Please report the problem to your device provider immediately.

OPERATION

Powering ON and OFF
To activate DT382GL, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come on in a few seconds. To put the DT382GL in standby mode, push and quickly release the Power Button. To turn the DT382GL 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 DT382GL when setting up for the first time to fully charge the battery pack.
NOTE:
To conserve power, push and quick release the Power Button to make the tablet in standby mode while not in use. Pushing briefly on the same butt on will wake up the system. 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. Unplug/ replug the AC-DC adapter to the DT382GL a few times to activate the charging process.
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 a 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.
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.
C. Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas
Wireless Networking
Wireless LAN
The DT382GL is often delivered with an embedded (user-inaccessible) 802.11ac LAN adapter equipped with a hidden custom antenna.

Through the support of typical WLAN adapters, the DT382GL 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 DT362G 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 you r 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.

Bluetooth
The Bluetooth configuration application is enabled from the System Tray or from the Windows Mobility Center. Follow the instructions and options provided within the application to configure and invoke Bluetooth connectivity with the corresponding peripherals.
Data Capture Module Operation Guide
If your DT382GL comes with a Reader refer to the steps below to configure the settings.

Federal Communication Commission Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This Class [B] digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
RF Exposure Compliance
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
The device has been tested for use against the body with 0mm separation in Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
Users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
