Step 2: Connect the Sahara NetSlate to an External Power Source
Locate the AC adapter and the power cord. Plug the power cord securely into the AC adapter.
Plug the AC adapter’s connection cable into the
DC In
(
) port on the top side of the Sahara
NetSlate. Once the adapter is securely in place, plug the power cord into a power outlet.
IMPORTANT:
You should allow the battery pack(s) to charge fully before disconnecting the Sahara NetSlate
from the AC adapter and running it on battery power for the first time.
NOTE:
When you first connect the Sahara NetSlate into an external power source, the battery charge
indicator(s) will begin to glow orange. When the battery is fully charged the indicator(s) will turn green.
See the section later in this guide and in the User’s Guide entitled
Battery Care
for tips on maximizing
battery life and performance.
Step 3: Connect Any Applicable Peripherals and Networking Cables
If you would like to use any external peripherals with the tablet (i.e. USB mouse, USB keyboard,
etc.), or are planning to connect to the Internet and/or a corporate LAN using a wired Ethernet
connection (RJ45), connect them now.
Step 4: Power on the Sahara NetSlate
Locate the three power switches on the top of the tablet. The switch is the computer’s main
power toggle. Slide and hold it until it emits a blue glow (about 3 seconds) and then release it.
The Sahara NetSlate will now boot up.
Step 5: Complete the Operating System Installation
When your system powers on for the first time, you
may
be prompted to enter your Windows
product key to complete set-up. The key can be found on the C.O.A. sticker located on the back
of the system underneath the battery pack in battery bay one (
). You will then be asked to
agree to Microsoft's licensing terms.
Plug the power cord into the DC In jack on the
top of the tablet.
Plug the power cord into the AC adapter brick
and then into a wall outlet.
Locate the system Power switch on the top of
the tablet.
Slide and hold it for about three (3) seconds
until it glows blue and the system powers up.
