NOTE: 

The easiest way to enter the Advanced Boot Menu is by repeatedly pressing the [F8] key as soon 

as you see the TabletKiosk logo screen and not stopping until the Advanced Boot Options menu screen 
appears.

1. 

When the Advanced Boot Options menu 
appears, select “Repair Your Computer” and 
press [Enter] to launch Windows Recovery.

2. 

When the recovery system starts, choose 
your preferred keyboard language.

3. 

In order to access the recovery options, 
you will need to login using your current 
Windows login.

NOTE: 

Your current account must have administrator 

privileges in order to successfully login.

4. 

After successfully logging 
in, you will be taken to 
the System Recovery 
Options menu. Click on 
the last option “Reinstall 
Windows” to restore your 
system using the files 
in the hidden recovery 
partition.

5. 

A final confirmation 
dialog box will appear. 
Click the “Yes” button to 
begin the reinstallation 
procedure. If you wish 
to cancel, click the “No” 
button.

After you have finished restoring Windows, your system will reboot and Set-up will configure 
Windows for first use. When you have returned to the Windows desktop, go to Windows Update 
and install any Critical updates until your system is current. Finally, reinstall your applications 
and any documents you backed up before you reinstalled.

Using the Batteries for the First Time
Before running the Tablet PC on battery power for the first time, you should fully charge both of 
the batteries. 

On the front of the Sahara NetSlate just above the 
TabletKiosk logo are two battery status indicators. 
These indicators will track the charging status of the 
system’s two Lithium-Ion battery packs.

When plugged into a power outlet, partially charged 
batteries will cause the indicators to glow orange. 
When each battery is fully charged, its corresponding 
indicator will turn green. Be sure that both indicators 
have turned green before unplugging the power 
plug and attempting to run the Sahara NetSlate on 
battery power for the first time.

The battery indicators will turn green when 
their corresponding battery is fully charged.
