OPERATION
Power ON and OFF
NOTE:
•
The battery shipped with your device should be low in power – please be prepared to use the AC-DC adapter
with the WebDT 375 in setting up the device for the first time and to fully charge the internal battery pack.
•
Depending on the origin of your device, the WebDT 375 is generally delivered in a “Power Off” state. To start
(Cold Boot or “Power On”) the WebDT 375 for the first time, push briefly on the Suspend or Power/Reset button
(#9 per Button Function Table) located at the upper left edge of the device
with the AC-DC adapter
connected to the device
. You may refer to the sections on Operation Notes and Appendix on FAQ and
Troubleshooting for more details and scenarios.
•
Please use (push and quick release) the Suspend button to “sleep” the device while not in use. Pushing briefly
on the Suspend button will wake up the system within 1-2 seconds.
In general, to activate the WebDT 375, push and quickly release the Suspend button to the left of the front
bezel. The display will come on in about 1-2 seconds. To move the WebDT 375 into Suspend mode and
conserve power, push and quickly release the Suspend button. In the Suspend mode, the device continues to
consume (a minimum amount of) power.
•
If you are putting the device away for an extended period of time (e.g., travel or absence), you may elect to
power off the device off completely to conserve battery life. This way, you will have power in your battery when
you arrive at your destination or return from your absence. However you will need to properly save your work
content (e.g., to external CompactFlash card in CF slot) and device settings (e.g., by Registries Save/Restore
utility in Control Panel) prior to the procedure. To power off the device, push and hold onto the Suspend button
for over 4 seconds – the display will turn off and all LEDs will be dark.
•
DO NOT use the Power Off function as part of normal device operation – you may lose all software settings
and information you may have established through your pattern of usage. It is designed for use to reset the
device in the unlikely event that the device enters a hung state or to meet the power conserving objective cited
in the previous paragraph. Pushing briefly on the Suspend button will initiate the Power On process if the
battery is in good condition; otherwise make sure the AC-DC adapter is connected.
Start Up
1. If the power up (from Suspend or otherwise) is successful the Windows CE Desktop will be displayed after a
launch sequence of several seconds OR within 2-4 seconds if recovering from Suspend.
2. The wireless LAN adapter may take 10-15 seconds to be (re-)established.
3. Choose from any of the displayed icons on the Desktop to activate the corresponding application.
Calibration
The Calibration Properties screen will appear before the Windows CE desktop, if this is a new or reset device.
When the WebDT 375 prompts you to calibrate the touch-screen, use the Stylus (stored in the upper right surface
of the WebDT 375) and tap where indicated on the touch-screen in accordance with the displayed instructions.
