Getting to Know your ARMOR X10 Key Features The following paragraphs and images describe the principal components, controls, indicators, connectors and accessories of the ARMOR X10. Please take a few moments to read through this section to become more familiar with your computer. Refer to the ARMOR X10 Maintenance Manual for a list of hardware and environmental specifications. NOTE All references to front/rear, left/right and top/bottom locations in this guide are relative to the front (or face-on) view of the computer as it appears when it is set up for operation. Computer The ARMOR X10 Tablet Computer (Figure 2) is equipped with an Intel® Core Duo U2500 Ultra-Low Voltage 1.2 GHz processor with up to 2 GB of random access memory (RAM). It comes configured with Windows® XP Tablet SP2, Vista Business, or Linux #1 operating system. It has an integrated Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN and Bluetooth wireless network and can be equipped with an optional GPS receiver. Display The standard X10 display a 1024 x 768 ppi TFT LED screen. An optional LCD transflective screen is available for outdoor viewing in bright sunlight. This screen is optically bonded to enhance viewability. If your X10 is a “touch tablet”, the display surface is constructed of a touch-sensitive film over glass that is operated by the pressure of a stylus or fingertip. If your X10 is a “pen tablet”, the display surface is glass with a special digitizer screen bonded to the inside of the glass. The display is operated using an inductively coupled pen. Batteries The X10 batteries are high efficiency lithium-ion batteries that are “hot swappable,” That is, If you have two batteries installed, you can replace one battery while the tablet operates on the other battery. With this capability, you do not have to shut down the computer or interrupt your current operating session in order to replace a battery. The X10 can operate as long as 4 hours on two fully charged batteries. Formatted: Underline, Font color: BlueDeleted: Figure 2Deleted: comes equipped with

Complete instructions for configuring the OEM button can be found in Configuring the OEM Button in the Appendix. Power Indicator The Power indicator is a green LED that illuminates whenever the X10 is powered up. Charging Status Indicator The Charging Status indicator is a green LED that is lit whenever external power is available to charge the batteries. It blinks while the batteries are charging and is on steady when the batteries are fully charged. When the tablet is on batteries only, the Charging Status indicator is off. Battery Gauge Indicators The Battery Gauge consists of five LEDs that are used to indicate the charge remaining in your battery or batteries. Each light represents approximately 20% of the average charge of two batteries or the remaining charge of a single battery. When all five LEDs are lit and the charging status indicator is on steady, the batteries are fully charged. As the batteries are used, the LEDs will turn off from top to bottom to indicate the remaining charge. Each LED will blink upon transitioning to next lower charge level indicator. Brightness Control The brightness of the display is varied by controlling the intensity of the LCD backlight. You can control the brightness (backlight level) manually or let the computer control it automatically. The brightness can be manually adjusted by repeatedly pressing the OEM button or by adjusting the slider in the Backlight tab of the Armor Utilities panel. If you have a transflective screen, the effect of the brightness control when operating in bright sunlight will be minimal and the overall brightness will be the result of reflected light. When the automatic brightness control is enabled, an ambient light sensor measures the surrounding light level. If the surrounding light level decreases by a certain percentage, the screen brightness will also decrease correspondingly. If the ambient light increases by a certain percentage, the screen brightness will increase correspondingly. NOTE If you use the automatic brightness control function, you must keep the light sensor uncovered. Click on Start Æ All Programs Æ ARMOR Utilities and select the Backlight tab to adjust the backlight manually or to activate the light sensor for automatic brightness control. Refer to Brightness Adjustment for detailed information on adjusting the screen brightness. Disk Activity Indicator Formatted: Highlight
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 30 9711-40132-0004 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - The Disk Activity indicator is a red LED that flashes when the disk drive is being accessed. The flashes are intermittent and depend on the read and write cycles of the hard drive. Removable Components and Accessories Battery Pack Your ARMOR X10 comes can be equipped with 1 or 2 removable battery packs that are installed in compartments in the rear of the tablet (see Figure 5). These battery packs are hot-swappable and can be removed one at a time without interrupting computer operation.

If you plan on using the rotation function on a regular basis, select the Start Tray Application on Startup option. The TSHARC icon will be opened each time you start the computer. Pen Operations If your ARMOR X10 is a pen tablet, the pen is the primary screen navigation and data entry tool. Without a keyboard attached, the pen is the only means of communicating with the computer. The pen functions like a two-button mouse. There are two switches: one in the pen tip and another on the barrel of the pen. The tip switch performs the same functions as the left button on a mouse and the barrel switch performs the same functions as the right mouse button. NOTE Do not depress the barrel switch when writing on the display as this will adversely affect handwriting recognition. To activate the tip switch, simply press the tip of the pen against the display. This is similar to clicking the left button of a mouse. Double clicking is accomplished by double tapping with the pen. Move an icon by pressing the pen directly overhead and dragging the icon to the desired destination, keeping the pen in constant contact with the display. For right click functions, just depress the switch on the barrel of the pen. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition software also allows you to right click by pressing and holding the pen on the screen for 1-2 seconds. Press and hold is an optional feature. You can turn this feature on or off by going to the Control Panel, and then selecting Tablet and Pen Settings. NOTE If you have a pen tablet, do not use the Hampshire TSHARC panel to calibrate the screen. Doing so could cause the loss of screen calibration. After a period of normal usage, the screen may need to be calibrated with the pen to ensure accurate touches. To perform this calibration, refer to Calibrating the Active Pen Screen.
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 47 9711-40132-0004 Export – Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - Pen Adjustments If your X10 uses the Windows XP Tablet PC operating system, you can adjust attributes related to use of the pen (e.g. tap speed, left/right hand orientation, etc.). Refer to Tablet and Pen Settings for Windows XP for instructions. If you have the Windows XP Pro operating system, look in the PenOffice tools folder found in the Windows Program list. The location of the cursor on the display is the location of input regardless of the location of the pen tip. The cursor and the pen tip should be closely aligned when the pen is close to the surface of the display. After a period of normal usage, the screen may need to be calibrated with the pen to ensure accurate touches. To perform this calibration, refer to Calibrating the Active Pen Screen. Rotating the Screen Your ARMOR X10 supports the Windows XP Tablet function of rotating the screen layout between Portrait and Landscape modes. In Portrait mode, the long axis of the screen is along the left and right sides of the screen; in landscape mode (default orientation), the long axis is along the top and bottom of the screen. You can rotate the screen clockwise in four 90 degree steps, alternating between portrait and landscape orientation. NOTE If your X10 is a Touch tablet, refer to Configuring Your Touch Tablet for Screen Rotation before attempting to rotate the screen. NOTE If your X10 is a Pen tablet, do not use the Screen Orientation options in the Display tab of the Tablet and Pen Settings window. This could cause you to lose screen calibration. NOTE If you lose calibration when rotating the screen and cannot use the stylus to return to the default orientation, attach an external keyboard and press Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow. This will return the display to the default landscape orientation.

Working with the Extended Desktop When you have a second display, you can configure it as an extended desktop. That is, the second display is combined with your tablet desktop. You can move documents back and forth between the two displays as if they were a single display. To combine the external display with the X10 display and form a single or “extended” desktop, right click on the X10 display and select Graphics Options Æ Output To Æ Extended Desktop and tap on Notebook + Monitor if you want the external display to be monitor #2; select Monitor + Notebook if you want the tablet display to be monitor #2. NOTE It is recommended that you attach a USB mouse when using the extended desktop rather than using the stylus. Using a mouse, you can sweep the cursor back and forth between displays as if the two displays were one desktop. Using the stylus with the extended desktop can be a challenge because the stylus can only be used on the tablet touch screen to control the cursor on both displays. However, we will discuss how this is done in the following paragraphs.
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 52 9711-40132-0004 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - Using the Stylus or Pen with the Extended Desktop Because the X10 is the only one of your two displays with a touch screen or active pen screen, you must make all cursor movements for both displays from the X10 tablet display. Mentally divide the X10 display in half. If you have the external monitor configured as display #2 (positioned to the right of the tablet), you should only operate the stylus on the right half of the X10 touch screen when the cursor is in the external display. If you have the external monitor configured for display #1 (positioned to the left of the tablet), you should only operate the stylus on the left half of the X10 screen when the cursor is in the external display. Assume you have the external monitor set up on the right side (as display #2). Touch the X10 screen and drag the cursor to the right edge of the display until it appears on the external monitor. If you now lift the stylus and touch the middle of the X10 screen, the cursor will appear at the left-most edge of the external monitor screen. NOTE Once you start moving the cursor on the external display, it is best to keep the stylus in contact with the X10 display until you complete the movement. Otherwise, the cursor may jump back to the X10 display. Drag the stylus to the right edge of the X10 and you will see that the cursor on the external monitor travels completely across the screen to the opposite edge. This means that the right half of the X10 screen corresponds to the entire screen of the external monitor when the cursor is in the external monitor part of the desktop. The opposite will be true if you set up the external monitor to be display #1. You can now control the cursor in the left-hand external display using the left half of the X10 screen. Tips for Proper Use and Care Of Your Computer There are certain precautions you should take to ensure that your ARMOR X10 Tablet Computer continues to provide you with reliable service: • Don’t subject the computer to heat by placing it on the dashboard of a vehicle with the display facing the sun. • Don’t store the computer in temperatures below -40 degrees C. • Don’t pile tools or heavy objects on top of the computer. • Avoid severe impacts, especially to the display. • Don’t try to take the computer apart. Disassembly of the unit by unauthorized personnel may void your warranty. • Don’t use excessive force when inserting PCMCIA cards. They are keyed to go in only one way and inserting the card incorrectly or using excessive force could result in damage to the cards or the computer. • Keep your touchscreen clean and calibrated.

Backup and Restore Procedures for Spinning Media Hard Drives Backup with QuickBack™ If your hard drive is a spinning media hard drive, QuickBack™ is included with your software package as a backup and restore feature. It allows you to make an exact copy of your hard disk’s contents on a hidden partition of your computer. You can then use this backup to restore your PC if the hard drive becomes partially corrupted. NOTE If the entire hard drive becomes corrupted or the hard drive is damaged, this restore feature may not work. ARMOR X10 ruggedized tablets implement the QuickBack™ functionality using the Acronis True Image OEM software package. The True Image application provides a number of useful System Backup features including the creation and storage of an Archival Backup, the ability to store up to two additional User created Backups, and the ability to create an Emergency Bootable CD for System Recovery. The QuickBack backup feature is only one part of a complete tablet backup strategy. As mentioned above, if the entire hard drive becomes corrupted or if the hard drive itself becomes defective then the QuickBack™ feature will not be able to restore the system. Even if the System Recovery CD is used, it looks for the backup data on the hard drive. The periodic use of an alternate backup tool is recommended to provide backups on external media in case of catastrophic hard drive failures. You may wish to purchase the upgraded full-featured Acronis True Image tool to be able to backup and recover all data saved from an external drive. Disk Partitions The hard drive is divided into several sections or “Partitions”. The C: partition is the primary partition that contains the Windows files, Application Program files, User files, etc. The C: Partition is used as the primary system boot drive for normal operations. The D: partition contains space for QuickBack™ Backups of the C: Partition. The D: partition has been made large enough to contain at least two standard-sized compressed User-generated backups. The compressed backup copy of a partition can only be stored in one of the other partitions for backup purposes. This allows you to overcome the most common disk corruption issues and to restore the system back to the last saved state.
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 86 9711-40132-0004 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - How to Access QuickBack™ for Initial Set-Up and Help Features Once installed, the QuickBack™ feature can be accessed by clicking on the Acronis True Image shortcut on the computer’s desktop. You can also access it by clicking on Start Æ All Programs Æ Acronis Æ True Image. The program includes an easy to use wizard interface and detailed HELP features. The startup screen is shown in Figure 45. Figure 45. QuickBack™ Graphical User Interface Archive Backup The original Archive Backup is created automatically when you select the “Install QuickBack™” icon on the Desktop. NOTE The QuickBack™ install is a lengthy process involving an automatic re-partitioning of the hard drive and the automatic backup process. A USB or other physical keyboard should be used for this operation. The initial installation takes approximately 25 minutes. Subsequent user initiated backups will take less time. The system should be connected to external power prior to the initial installation or any subsequent user backup in order to ensure the backup process completes without interruption. The Archive Backup contains the original C and D partitions and is stored in a compressed form in a hidden partition on the system hard disk. Formatted: Underline, Font color: BlueDeleted: Figure 45
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 87 9711-40132-0004 Export – Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - This hidden partition is not visible or accessible to you with the standard system file access toolset. To use the Archive Backup to restore the hard drive, press the F11 option (with external keyboard) when prompted during the system boot to immediately start the standalone True Image Application. NOTE If you choose the “Restore Original System Installation” option, any changes or additions to either of these two partitions since the initial QuickBack™ installation will be lost. This includes User Backups that have been placed in the D partition area. Within the True Image application, you can select the “Restore Original System Installation” button and follow the on-screen directions to restore the entire Archive Backup onto the C and D partitions of the System Hard Drive. User Backups You can create up to two User Backups of the C partition (Compressed copies of C are stored up to the available space in the D partition). Backups are typically created as desired by using the True Image application under Windows. Backups are stored into the D partition of the system hard drive. Currently, with the existing C partition size, the size of the D partition allows up to two Backups to be saved at one time. If you increase the C partition significantly with the addition of new software, then only one backup copy can be stored. With the addition of very large amounts of user data it is possible to grow the partition content large enough that it cannot be compressed into the available space on the D partition (In this case the True Image will inform you that no backup into the requested location is possible). System Recovery CD You can create a System Recovery CD using the True Image Application. For example, if the C drive becomes corrupted (system fails to boot normally), the Recovery CD allows you to boot the system to the True Image Application. You can then restore the C partition from one of the Backups. Note that you create the Recovery CD using Windows and an attached CD disk drive with write capability. To create the Bootable CD, please refer to your Windows documentation. To boot from the Recovery CD, follow the procedure in Table 8. Formatted: Underline, Font color: BlueDeleted: Table 8

Right-Click Area This slider adjusts the size of the right-click touchdown area. The larger the area, the less accurate the stylus tip has to be in proximity to the object you want to right-click. This is especially true if you use a fingertip instead of the stylus. However, this increases the chance of right-clicking on the wrong object when options or icons are closer together. Right-Click Delay This slider adjusts the time the stylus must remain in contact with the touch screen before the computer interprets it as a right-click. This must be long enough so that the computer does not mistake it for a left-click action. Double-Click Area This slider adjusts the size of the double-click touchdown area to accommodate different hand and finger movement styles. The larger the area, the more likely the computer is to detect both taps and correctly interpret them as a double-click. However, the area must not be too large or you could end up double-clicking on the wrong object. Double-Click Speed This slider adjusts the sample time between the first and second click. The higher the setting, the shorter the sample time and the faster you must tap to have the computer correctly interpret the action as a double-click. The setting must be fast enough so that the computer does not interpret the action as a left click. Follow the procedure in Table 12 to adjust these settings.

Caring For the Touchscreen With minimal maintenance, the touch screen will last many years. When operating the touch screen, you should not use an abrasive or metallic pointer as this may damage the screen. We recommend using your fingertip or the plastic-tipped stylus that came with your tablet. Use a plastic cleaner such as Plexus™ to clean the stylus tip. CAUTION! Do not exceed 60 psi when using compressed air to clean the display. Damage to the screen surface could result. Be careful not to let sand or grit stay on the screen. Be careful not to let sand or grit stay on the screen as this can scratch the surface if wiped with a cloth. Clean the display surface first with dry compressed air. Any non-ammonia based glass cleaner can be used to clean the touch screen. Always spray the glass cleaner on the cloth or towel and then wipe the touch screen. Use a lint-free swab or soft brush to remove stubborn foreign matter. If necessary use a small amount of alcohol or dish soap. Use a solution of dish soap and water to remove biological contaminants. If further cleaning is needed, use a solution of 5-10% chlorine bleach in clean water. Use this with caution as it could result in discoloration of material finishes.
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 100 9711-40132-0004 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - Pen Screen Calibration and Settings (Pen Tablets Only) The pen tablet utilizes a proximity-sensing electromagnetic digitizer. This component tells the computer the pen’s exact position relative to the screen. The computer senses the pen as it nears the display and the cursor appears when the pen is approximately an inch away. This allows visibility of the exact location of input before making actual contact with the display. Calibrating the Active Pen Screen The active pen screen should be calibrated using the procedure in Table 13 any time display options or pen settings are changed.

ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 111 9711-40132-0004 Export – Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - 11. Battery Management The Lithium Ion battery packs used in your ARMOR X10 computer offer the best technology available today. These ‘Smart Batteries’ provide ARMOR X10 users with the greatest power density and the most accurate “battery gauge” possible. To achieve the best possible performance from your batteries, we recommend using and maintaining the batteries in accordance with the instructions provided in this section. Your ARMOR X10 Tablet Computer comes with one or two Lithium Ion battery packs that are shipped separately in the box with the tablet. Due to current regulations regarding shipment of Lithium Ion batteries, your batteries will arrive in a partially charged condition, typically with a maximum charge of 30% to 50%. We recommend that you fully charge your batteries before using the computer on batteries alone. If you do not plan to use your computer immediately, be aware that the batteries will discharge at a slow rate even when not in use. WARNING! Do not drop or mishandle the batteries, immerse them in water, or subject them to high heat. Doing so could increase the risk of explosion or leakage, and possibly cause injury. WARNING! The lithium-ion batteries used in this equipment contain material that is hazardous to your health. If battery contents come in contact with the eyes, IMMEDIATELY flush the affected area with clean water for 15 minutes and have someone else summon medical attention for you. Unaffected persons should assist the affected individual in the vital first flushing of the eyes. WARNING! If battery material comes in contact with the skin, flush the affected area with clean water and seek immediate medical treatment.
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 112 9711-40132-0004 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - Safety and Handling Considerations for Your Batteries Please use the following safety rules when handling and using lithium-Ion batteries. • Do not expose the batteries to very high temperatures such as an open flame. • Do not short circuit the battery or reverse its polarity. • Do not let children play with the batteries. • Do not crush, dent or allow any deformation of the battery. • Do not disassemble or open the batteries or try to alter or bypass the internal safety circuits. • Avoid exposing the battery to wet or extremely humid conditions. • Avoid exposing the batteries to electrostatic discharge. • Avoid dropping the battery. • Do not use in or connect the battery to any other devices. • Do not allow batteries to remain discharged for more than 1 week. When to Recharge Batteries NOTE When the lowest indicator begins to flash, the battery charge is at less than 10% charge and the tablet could shut down at any time, resulting in the loss of any work in progress. The Battery Gauge LEDS on the PC Control Panel indicate the remaining charge of the battery (or batteries). At full charge, all five LED indicators of the Battery Gauge will be on steady and the Charging Status indicator will also be on steady if external power is applied. At full discharge, the bottom Battery Gauge indicator will be flashing. At this point, the charge level is between 10% and 3% and the computer could shut down unexpectedly. To avoid a sudden shutdown and possible data loss, it’s best to recharge or replace a battery when the top four LEDs are off and the bottom (10%) LED of the Battery Gauge is on steady. However, a battery can be recharged at any charge level without degrading the battery performance.
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 113 9711-40132-0004 Export – Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - How to Recharge Your Batteries The X10 batteries automatically begin charging when installed in the ARMOR Tablet and you apply external power. CAUTION! DO NOT connect the AC adapter from an external Rapid Battery Charger into the X10 computer or docking mechanism. This power supply is 24 VDC and will cause permanent damage to the computer. To recharge the batteries, plug the circular connector of the AC Adapter into the DC input connector on the left side of the ARMOR X10, or into the PWR connector on the port replicator or desk dock unit. The ARMOR X10 is fully functional while the batteries are charging. Using the unit while it charges the batteries will only slightly lengthen the recharge time. Don’t be alarmed if batteries feel warm to the touch during this process. It is normal for a battery to become warm during charging and discharging. Conditioning Your Battery Lithium-ion batteries do not require a periodic deep discharge to maintain a full charge as with nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad) batteries. However, you can help ensure the accuracy of the battery gauge and prolong battery life by periodically “conditioning” the battery. This involves allowing the battery to discharge to its lower limit (10%) and then fully recharging it. DRS recommends that you perform this battery conditioning approximately every 30 cycles for each battery. To check the number of cycles for each battery, click on the ARMOR Utilities icon in the task bar tray or select Start Æ All Programs Æ Armor Utilities Æ Batteries.” How to Tell When Batteries Have Finished Charging While the batteries are charging, the Battery Gauge LEDs will light to indicate the current level of charge and the green Charging Status indicator will flash at about a 1 second rate. When the batteries are fully charged, all five Battery Gauge LEDs and the Charging Status indicator will be on steady.
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 114 9711-40132-0004 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - Charging a Battery with an External 2-Bay Battery Charger CAUTION! The ARMOR X10 battery packs are specially built for DRS. Do not use any other model external battery charger than that supplied by DRS to charge the X10 battery packs. Serious damage to the batteries could result. Sequential Charger If you are charging only one battery pack, be sure to place it in the left slot. Two battery packs will take approximately 2.5 hours to reach full charge. A single battery pack will often take less than 2 hours. Simply insert the battery and the charging process will begin automatically. An LED for each battery indicates the current status of the charging process. Smart (SmBus) Charger With this charger, you can charge two batteries at the same time in about 2.5 hours. However, the charger also has the capability to automatically condition, or “calibrate” a battery by fully discharging it first and then fully recharging it. This calibration feature is only available with the left slot. The total time to charge and calibrate a single battery is approximately 8 hours. Once the battery has been charged, place it in the left slot and press the button in the center of the front panel labeled “Push Here to Recalibrate Left Battery Bay.” This will start the calibration process. What to Do for Over-discharged Batteries The Armor Tablet X10 has an internal Level 2 smart battery charger. One of the features of this charger is that it will attempt to recover a battery that has been deeply discharged (10% or less). This is done by applying a trickle current of 80 milliamps for about 3 minutes. This process normally injects enough energy into the battery to allow normal re-charging to occur. If the recovery process is successful, the Charging Status indicator will flash and the 10% LED will be on steady or flashing. Allow the battery to charge normally. If this normal recovery process does not work (charging status indicator will not flash and the battery gauge LEDs will not light), perform the procedure in Table 15. Deleted: Table 15
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 115 9711-40132-0004 Export – Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - Table 15. Recover an Over-discharged Battery. STEP ACTION 1. Remove both batteries. 2. Wait 5 seconds. 3. Reinstall both batteries. 4. Repeat steps 1-4 up to a maximum of five times. 5. If the batteries still fail to start re-charging, they will have to be replaced. The following suggestions will help to prevent an over-discharge condition from occurring. • In Windows Control Panel, Power Options, ensure the low power alarm is set to 9% and the critical alarm is set to 3% with the Alarm Action set to shut down the system. Refer to Setting Low Level and Critical Battery Alarms. • Do not store the Armor X10 Tablet Computer for long periods with the batteries installed. Even when the unit is powered off, the tablet still draws a small amount of power. • Do not leave the Armor Table X10 batteries in a discharged condition for long periods of time. The X10 batteries self-discharge over time. The batteries should be periodically recharged to between 30-50% of full charge about every six months of disuse. How to Increase Battery Service Time The total service time, or the time that a full battery charge can support normal operations, for the ARMOR X10 is approximately 4 hours with two batteries installed. However, this is dependent on a variety of factors including temperature, backlight requirements and computer usage. To ensure maximum performance of the batteries, you will need to optimize your computer’s power management features. Click on Start Æ Control Panel Æ Power Options. This will open the Power Options Properties screen. Here you will find power-saving and alarm settings. You will also be able to configure stand-by and hibernate modes. When to Replace a Battery
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 116 9711-40132-0004 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - Battery life is affected by the age of the battery, its operating temperature, and the number of discharge/charge cycles that it goes through over time. For optimum battery performance, it is recommended that you replace your batteries according to the following schedule (NOTE: “Normal ambient temperature” is room temperature in the range of +50ºF to +73ºF (+10ºC to +23ºC). Table 16. ARMOR X10 Battery Replacement Schedule NORMAL USAGE AT NORMAL AMBIENT TEMPS AT EXTREME AMBIENT TEMPS Stand alone or in a Desk Dock 1 yr or after 300-400 cycles 1 yr or after 200-300 cycles In a Vehicle Dock 2 yrs or after 300-400 cycles 2 yrs or after 200-300 cycles To determine the battery date, check the Lot number on the battery label (see Figure 53). This number is the date the battery was shipped. In the example shown, 0808 would represent September 2008 so the recommended replacement date would be September 2009. Figure 53. ARMOR X10 Battery Label Where to Purchase Replacement Batteries Your ARMOR X10 uses long lasting Lithium Ion batteries that are custom made for DRS Tactical Systems, Inc. If you need to purchase replacement batteries, notify your sales representative or contact DRS Technical Support. Do not substitute any other batteries.

ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 117 9711-40132-0004 Export – Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - How to Store Batteries When They Are Not in Use The following storage tips will help you optimize the capacity and performance of your batteries. • If the battery will not be in use for longer than 30 days, it is recommended that it be removed from the computer for storage. • Store batteries between temperatures of 32ºF to 95ºF (0ºC to 35ºC) and a humidity of 45-85%. The best place to store them is in a refrigerator or freezer. • Do not leave batteries in direct sunlight or any other unusually hot location. Your battery may deteriorate more quickly if stored in high temperatures such as a vehicle in the hot sun. • Do not expose battery terminals to metal objects or water, which may short-circuit your battery. • For long-term storage, it’s best to recharge as necessary to keep the battery level between 30%–50% of full charge (to check the battery charge, insert the battery in the computer, power up, and double-click on the Power Meter icon in the Task Bar). Battery Tips for Best Performance • Recharge the batteries within 24 hours of a full discharge. Batteries remaining in a fully discharged state longer than 24 hours may deteriorate more quickly. • Battery charging should be done at temperatures between 32°F (0°C) to 95°F (35°C), but preferably at room temperature. The battery could deteriorate more quickly when charged at high temperatures. • Discharging should be done at temperatures between –10°C to +60°C, preferably room temperature. • You should perform a full discharge to the 10% level for each battery in operation every 30 cycles (click on the ARMOR Utilities icon in the task bar tray or select Start Æ All Programs Æ Armor Utilities Æ Batteries to see the number of accumulated charge cycles). • Ideally you should fully discharge a battery pack every time before recharging it. By charging the battery only after it is fully discharged, you will reduce the number of charge cycles and thus extend the life of your battery. • When operating your ARMOR X10 on external power for extended periods of time (1 week or longer), it’s best to remove the batteries and store them in a cool place until needed. If they will be removed for longer than 30 days, see How to Store Batteries When They Are Not in Use • If possible, allow a battery to warm or cool to room temperature before installing it in the computer.

When possible, remove loose dust and dirt from the display surface first with clean, dry compressed air. Do not use high pressure air (>60 psi) or any abrasive cleaner. Use a lint-free cotton swab or soft bristle brush to remove foreign matter around the edges of the display. Wipe the display surface with any non-ammonia based glass cleaner. Always spray the glass cleaner on the cloth or towel first and then wipe the screen. 11. What Do I Do When The Pen Gets Out Of Calibration? NOTE Use this procedure only for pen tablets. Follow the procedure in Calibrating the Active Pen Screen. 12. What If The Pen Still Will Not Align? Check that the Windows Display settings have not been altered to a screen resolution other than factory default (1024 x 768 pixels, 32 bit color quality). If so, adjust the setting to factory default, reboot the unit and re-attempt pen alignment. 13. What Can I Do When The “Start” Button Disappears? In pen computing, it is not uncommon for a user to inadvertently resize the task bar so that it is not visible on the screen. First, attempt to recover the start button and task bar by moving around the edges of the display to see if you will get a double arrow. If you get a double arrow, simply drag the task bar to the size you need. If not corrected, follow these directions (NOTE: you will need to attach a USB keyboard to perform this function. Do not attempt to use the pen during this process). a. Press and hold the <CTRL> key and then press the <ESC> key to display the “Start” menu. b. Press the <ESC> button and the menu will disappear. You have now placed the focus on the “Start” button. c. Press <ALT>, <SPACEBAR> keys in combination to display a context menu. d. Use the cursor keys to navigate in the context menu and highlight “Size”. e. Press <ENTER> and the pointer will move to the middle of the taskbar along the edge of the display and become a two-way arrow. f. Using the cursor key, size the task bar to your preference. g. Press the <ENTER> key to set the task bar size.
ARMOR USER’S GUIDE Page 132 9711-40132-0004 Export Controlled – See Page 3 Rev - h. To avoid this problem in the future, try sizing the task bar to a size larger than the default. This can be done at your discretion. Windows XP also gives you the option of locking the task bar so this will not happen. We highly recommend locking your taskbar if you are using Windows XP. To lock your taskbar: 1) Right click on the taskbar. 2) Select the Properties tab. 3) Under task bar tab menu, check “Lock the taskbar.” 14. What Do I Do When The Battery Discharges and Will Not Charge In The Unit? • First, try the recovery procedure described in What to Do for Over-discharged Batteries. • Next, try to charge a known good battery (if available) in the same battery compartment. If this works, then the battery in question is defective. • If a known good battery fails to charge, then the internal battery charger has failed and the ARMOR X10 needs to be returned for service. 15. How is USB supported by The ARMOR X10? • The ARMOR X10 is manufactured with a single USB connection on the side of the unit. This USB connection can be used for a wide variety of USB devices. • The ARMOR X10 supports USB 1.1 and 2.0 functionality. • DRS Tactical Systems can provide docking stations with a USB port that communicates with the ARMOR X10 via the docking connection. • An externally powered USB Hub may be used on the X10 USB port. 16.
