Align the plug of the module you wish to install
and slide it into place.

module securely.

After a moment, Windows should detect the
module and load the required drivers, if they are
natively available within Windows, or prompt you
to install the drivers that came with the module.
To remove or swap a module, simple follow the
same procedure, except replace the module you
are removing with either another module, or the
Expansion cover plate.
NOTE:
If your module contains, or is attached to, a media
card reader, external hard drive or other such removable
media device, be sure to eject the device as you would a
standard USB attached data storage device before removing
it in order to prevent possible data loss/corruption. You can
eject the device by going down to the System Tray, tapping
on the USB Device icon and the selecting the device from the
list you wish to eject.
Programming the Function Buttons
Your Sahara NetSlate has a total of eight function
buttons located on the sides of the tablet. While
the four on the left side are pre-programmed at the
factory, up to three of the four on the right side are
programmable. You can use the Tablet Button panel,
located in the System Tray, to reprogram those three
buttons to activate a different pre-programmed task, or
to launch a “Custom” application of your choice.
Double-tap on the icon to launch the Tablet Button
applet. [HotKey 1] is the top button on the right side
of the tablet. It is pre-programmed to turn the touch
screen on and off. The other buttons can each be
programmed to open the Windows Explorer or
Internet Explorer simply by tapping on the respective
icon in each button's sub-section.
If you would like a button to open another application
installed on your tablet (or even a batch or script
file), simply tap on the third icon (ratchet & wrench)
and then tap on the "Open" button. A file dialog
box appears so you can navigate to your program
of choice. Close the applet to enable and save your
choices. If your Sahara NetSlate came with a 3G
module installed, the second button [HotKey 2] will
be pre-programmed to toggle between wireless
networking modes (WiFi
→
3G
→
Both).
Using the Batteries for the First Time
Before running the Tablet PC on battery power for the first time, both of the batteries should be
fully charged.
Remember to screw the module into place
to prevent it from coming off while in use.
Be sure to store the screws that attached the
cover in a safe place so as not to lose them.
Locate the Tablet Button icon in the System
Tray to program the function buttons.
