1. Getting Started 1.1. Welcome Congratulations! With your new Wireless Thin Client you will be able to create, manage and share information, send and receive email, and carry out research from virtually anywhere! Your Wireless Thin Client gives you freedom; easy access to the Internet, and the 800X600 SVGA screen offers high resolution for all your Tablet uses. This manual will guide you through the Tablet’s simple set-up, introduce you to its range of features and help you source extra information. 1.2. Safety Instructions and Care of your Wireless Thin Client CAUTION! Danger of explosion if an improper battery is substituted. If a replacement is needed, only replace with a manufacturer issued battery pack. • During normal usage and charging, the battery pack heats up. This is caused by energy that has been generated and a chemical charge that has occurred inside the battery pack. This is not a cause for concern. • You should charge batteries at temperatures from 10°C to 30°C (from 50 °F to 85 °F). Lower temperatures require a longer charging time. • Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects could short-circuit the battery pack. The - 1 -

resulted excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from burns. • Do not use your Wireless Thin Client in a wet environment, for instance, near a bathtub, sink, or any other place where there is risk of moisture. • To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter into a three prong, grounded power source. If a two-prong extension plug is absolutely needed, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs. • If your Wireless Thin Client includes a modem PC Card, disconnect the modem cable during electrical storms to avoid the remote risk of electrical shock from lightening via the telephone line. • PC Cards may increase in temperature over an extended period of use. Use care in handling these cards. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. They may explode. Check with local authorities for-proper disposal instructions. • When traveling, never check your Wireless Thin Client as baggage.You can put your Wireless Thin Client through an X-ray security machine, but never put your Wireless Thin Client through a metal detector. Have a charged battery with you in case you are asked to turn on the Tablet. • When traveling, do not place the Wireless Thin Client in an overhead compartment where it can slide around. Do not drop your Wireless Thin Client or subject it to mechanical shocks. • Protect your Wireless Thin Client from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and over exposure to sunlight. • When you change environments rapidly, in respect to temperature and humidity, with your Wireless Thin Client, condensation may form on or within the Tablet. To avoid - 2 -

potential damage to your Wireless Thin Client, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using. • When disconnecting cables from your Wireless Thin Client, be sure to pull on the connector or the strain relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending the connector pins. Never force a connector into a port. Make sure the connector and port are aligned correctly. • Before you clean your Wireless Thin Client, turn it off, remove the battery, and unplug the power source. • Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with liquid or aerosol cleaners. • Clean the screen with a soft, clean cloth and commercial window cleaner that does not contain wax or abrasives. Always apply the cleaner to the cloth, not the screen. If the display contains grease or some other contaminant, use isopropyl alcohol instead of commercial cleaner. 1.3.
