Using the TabletKiosk Modular Expansion System

Expansion System. This systems allows for the easy 
integration of feature modules that enhance the 
capabilities of your Tablet PC.

module, etc.).

the Modular Expansion System port cover on 
the top/back of the tablet in place.

2. 

Remove expansion port cover.
