Favorite Sites Window

Selecting the Favorites icon brings up the Favorite Sites
window. From here, the user navigates to favorite web
pages. The WebPAD system can store up to 512 site loca-
tions.

The Favorite Sites window is split into three sections. The
top section contains a list of the web sites that have been
saved. Below that is a section that displays the URL
address for the selected site in the favorites list. Along the
bottom of the window is a series of buttons used to navi-
gate amongst and manage the list of sites. The functions
provided by these buttons are:

• Bringing up the designated home page

• Adding a page to the list

• Deleting a page from the list

• Sorting the list

• Navigating to a selected link

Figure 9 shows the Favorite Sites Window.

The browser can be sent to the designated home page at
any time by selecting the Home button in the Favorite
Sites window. This action does not effect the pages you
have already visited in this session, so the Back button
still sends the browser to the previously visited page.

Sites are added to the list using one of two methods. The
first method uses the icon supplied in the border of the
browser. Touching this icon immediately sends the site
currently shown in the browser window to the list. The
second method is to open the desired site to be saved,
bring up the Favorite Sites window and touch the “Add”
button.

To delete a page from the list of favorites, highlight the
site, then touch the “Delete” button. If a site was acci-
dently deleted, the only way to replace it on the list is by
going to the site and selecting the icon in the border of the
browser, or selecting the “Add” button in the Favorite Sites
window while the site is open.

Sites are listed in the order they are added. As the list
grows, use the Sort button to alphabetize the entries. New
sites appear at the bottom of the list.

To navigate to a stored web site, select the appropriate
link in the list and touch the “Go” To button. This page will
be placed on the stack immediately after the page cur-
rently being viewed. Pages before the current page will be
lost.

Setup and Troubleshooting

This section explains how to setup and troubleshoot a
WebPAD system. The system consists of the tablet, base
station, and cradle.

4.1

SETTING UP A WEBPAD 1.5 SYSTEM

The WebPAD 1.5 System that you receive may come with
one of two types of base stations: A DECT-based or an
802.11-based Access Point. Please refer only to the sec-
tion for the type of base station accompanying your partic-
ular WebPAD 1.5 system.

4.1.1

Dect-based Base Station

4.1.1.1 Setup Guidelines

The following is the sequence used for setting up a Web-
PAD system.

1.

Connect the power cord and phone cable(s) to the
base station. The phone line and power jack connec-
tors are located at the rear side of the base station.
The line to the wall goes in the top dual RJ-11
connector, and the line to the phone set (optional)
goes directly below it. The single RJ-11 connector is
not used at this time. The power cord plugs into the
power jack at the bottom of the unit.

2.

Power on the base station, then the tablet. If this is
the first time the tablet has been used with this base
station, they must be registered with each other (See
Section 4.1.1.2 “WebPAD/Base Station Registra-
tion”). Otherwise, the tablet establishes a link to the
previously registered base station. The system is now
ready for use. Upon starting, the browser loads its
home page. When the base station receives the
request for the web page, it establishes its connection
to the internet.
