In the absence of A/C power, the steady Green state indicates a full or good battery level; when the battery charge
is low, it will glow a steady Amber; when the battery level is critically low, it will blink in Amber rapidly.
How do I perform a ‘right-click’ function?
Depending on the software configuration of your device, there may be a right-click icon in the System Tray. Tap
the icon that looks like a mouse with the right-button colored yellow. It will be located with the group of icons in the
lower right corner of the panel, by the clock. Click on this icon, and then click on the area of the screen on which
you wish to perform a right-click. The right-click mode will only be in effect for a single click.
Alternatively, you may be able to program any one of the available hard buttons on the device to be used to engage
the right-click mode. Refer to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Buttons Settings.
What other hardware/software can I use with WebDT 375?
Any hardware peripherals or software applications that may be used with the WebDT 375 depends on the
compatibility of such hardware or software with the WebDT 375 system platform, i.e., Windows CE .NET (not
Pocket PC) and Intel Xscale platform. If a third party peripheral or software is determined to be compatible with (or
independent of) said platform that the hardware/software may work out-of-the box or have drivers that are suitable
for use on the WebDT 375. You can install drivers and applications through ActiveSync or (in some cases) copy
applications over to the file structure of the WebDT 375.
In general, the WebDT 375 comes pre-installed with software and hardware drivers that will enable you to use
different network cards to access the Internet, email, and Local Area Networks (LANs). If you have made a specific
request for your device provider to install a particular type of driver or a particular piece of software, it will already
be installed on your WebDT 375 when it ships to you. This feature ensures that if there are any problems with the
WebDT 375 at any time, you will not have to reload the software on the machine, but simply reset the unit. You will
need to contact your device provider if it is possible to have additional software or hardware drivers pre-loaded on
the WebDT 375.
The Virtual Keyboard won’t show up or go away.
Sometimes when the WebDT 375 is busy processing commands or running other programs it may not
display/remove the virtual keyboard the moment that you press the keyboard button. Simply hold the button down,
or press the keyboard button again, and in a few seconds the keyboard should appear/disappear.
Where is the stylus and how do I use it to navigate? How do I do anything without a keyboard and mouse?
The stylus for the WebDT 375’s touch screen is located in the upper right corner of the panel inside the rubber pad
on the side. Pull out the stylus and use it to tap the screen. The WebDT 375 uses a touch screen and stylus for
normal input. You can select anything on the screen by just tapping the icon, or touching a point on the screen with
the stylus. For example, to open My Computer, simply double-tap on the My Computer icon, just as you would
double click with a regular mouse. Instead of a desktop keyboard, the WebDT 375 provides a Virtual Keyboard.
To type, press the leftmost hard button from the set of 4 in the lower front of the panel, labeled with a keyboard
icon. A keyboard will appear on the screen, and you can select the letters by tapping them. Press the keyboard
button again, to make the keyboard disappear off the screen. If you’d like, you can attach a USB pointing device
(mouse, track ball, touch pad) to the WebDT 375 and use that for navigation.
Is there a way to scroll down without using the stylus?
Yes. In general, the software on the WebDT 375 allows you to program most of the buttons on the WebDT 375 to
perform functions of your choice. Use Start > Settings > Control Panel > Button Settings icon. For example, you
can use the 4-way navigation button on the front right side of the WebDT 375 panel to scroll the window of Internet
Explorer, or other applications, and also to scroll between menu choices or icons. You can also use this button to
navigate backward and forward in Internet Explorer.
