Powering ON and OFF
To activate the T13, push and quickly release the Power Button. The display will come
on in a few seconds. To put the T13 in Standby mode, push and quickly release the
Power Button. To turn the T13 off for extended storage, power off safely using any
software function that “shuts down computer” provided in the software operating
system.
Note:
The battery packs shipped with your tablet may be low in power—please
use the AC-DC adapter with the T13 when setting up for the first time to fully
charge the internal battery pack. You may charge the external battery pack with it
attached to the T13, or with the optional external battery charger kit.
•
Always exercise care when operating and handling the T13.
•
Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
•
Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source.
Wherever possible, the T13 should face away from direct light to reduce
glare.
•
If the AC-DC power adapter is used to recharge or power the tablet, do
NOT use any AC-DC adapter other than the one provided or acquired
from the manufacturer.
•
In the unlikely event that smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is
present, immediately power off the T13 and disconnect all power
sources. Report the problem to Tangent immediately.
•
Never attempt to disassemble the T13, as this will void the warranty.
The T13 wireless tablet integrates a bright and multi-touch display, one USB port, and
embedded networking elements such as wireless LAN and Bluetooth. The T13 is
complemented by a suite of accessories, including battery expansion, charging cradles,
and battery charger kit, for a comprehensive user experience.
A T13 typically integrates an 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may
connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your T13 does not come with
such a network adapter, please consult your device provider to establish the desired
network connectivity.
Note:
When the battery pack(s) is (are) charging, the blue-colored Battery LED
should blink slowly. If plugging in the AC-DC adapter does not trigger this blinking
activity and the LED stays dark, the battery pack(s) may have been drained
substantially. Try unplugging/ replugging the AC-DC adapter to the T13 a few times
to activate the charging process.
Note:
To conserve power, use (push and quick release) the Power Button to put
the tablet in “Standby” mode while not in use. Pushing briefly on the same button
will wake up the system within seconds.
Note:
Avoid using the Power Button (“hold 4+ seconds” feature) to turn off the
tablet—this form of hardware shutdown is intended to be a means of recovery
from lockups, and not as normal operation.
