Preparing the Tablet for First Use
To start using the tablet for the first time, insert the battery and charge the tablet. If your tablet is enabled with Wireless Wide Area Networking (WWAN), insert an activated SIM card in the SIM card holder or use an eSIM to access the cellular data network.
Inserting a SIM Card
A WWAN-enabled L10ax tablet supports a SIM card and an eSIM. Switching between SIMs is done within Windows. Most people need only one SIM.
Before you can connect to a mobile broadband network, you must have an active account with a cellular network provider. You can use a SIM card and enable an eSIM on your tablet for mobile broadband access.
The SIM card holder accommodates a Nano SIM (4FF) card, for use with the mobile broadband option. This SIM card works like the SIM card in your cell phone that connects you to a network provider. Contact your cellular network provider to add a mobile data plan to an eSIM.
-
Turn off the tablet.
-
Remove the battery if it is in the tablet.
-
Gently slide a SIM card into the SIM card slot (1). Make sure that the SIM contact (gold) is facing down and the notched corner is on the left side as shown in the graphic inside the battery bay of the tablet.
-
Install the battery.
Powering On the Tablet
After installing the battery, connect the tablet to external power and power
up the tablet.
If you have not yet inserted the battery, remove it from the packaging.
-
On the back of the tablet, make sure the battery latch is slid to left and shows the red circle. Insert the bottom of the battery into the bay. Tilt the tray and press it down until it clicks securely into place.
-
The external power has two parts: the part that plugs into the power source and the adapter with a cord that plugs into your tablet. Join the two parts by plugging the power cord into the adapter to form one long cord.
-
To connect external power to the tablet, open the port door to expose the Power Adapter Port (1). Plug the AC adapter into this port on your tablet.
-
Plug the power cord into an outlet.
The battery charging indicator indicates the charge status.
-
Press and release Power (1) in the center of the right side of the tablet to turn it on.
-
Keep the tablet on AC power until the battery is fully charged. However, you don’t have to wait until the tablet is fully charged to turn it on. The L10ax charges while you use it.
Optional Setup Tasks
This section explains how to attach the pen tether and how to connect the tablet to an external monitor.
Attaching the Pen Tether
The pen comes with a tether so that you can attach it to your tablet to avoid misplacing it.
- Slip one end of the tether through the hole at the end of the pen, and pull the pen through the loop until it is tight.
- Slip the other end of the tether through the attach point on the tablet, then pull the pen through the loop until it is tight.
Connecting the Tablet to an External Monitor
There is no dedicated port for an external monitor on the tablet. The tablet has a USB Type-C connector which includes a Display Port output capability. You need a dongle that supports USB Type-C DisplayPort and converts it to the port necessary to attach the external monitor, which can have one or more of the following ports: HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, or VGA.
For instance, to connect a monitor with an HDMI port to your tablet, you need a USB Type-C DisplayPort to HDMI output dongle.
NOTE : Some dongles use USB to Video conversion and these use software to enable the external display over USB interface. Care must be taken to ensure the USB Type-C dongle specifically supports USB Type-C Display Port input. Look for a dongle that states it is plug-n-play and that no software or drivers are required.
Back of Battery Charge Indicators
You can check the charge of a battery when it is out of the tablet by pressing the battery check button on the rear.
IMPORTANT : If you remove the battery while the tablet is running, you only have one minute to replace it to keep the tablet running. If you need to remove it for a longer period, be sure to save your files. Then, shut down or plug into a power source.
If you have a battery out of the tablet, you can check the charge by looking at the rear and pressing the button to the left of the lights to view the charge level.

The five lights on the back of the battery indicate the current level of charge—from one light (20% charged) to five lights (100% charged).
Scanning with the Integrated Barcode Scanner (XPAD Only)
Use the Barcode Scanner to capture barcode data.
The optional XPAD L10ax scanner is a factory-installed device consisting of a barcode optical image reader and hardware decoder. The SE4107 scanner is built in to the handle of the XPAD L10ax tablet.
