Docking Your System

PRIOR TO DOCKING YOUR SYSTEM

The Tablet Dock is designed to accommodate a tablet with either a standard battery pack or a larger high- capacity battery pack. When a high-capacity battery pack is installed in your tablet, you must adjust the Tablet Dock platform to ensure that the connector on the back of the tablet aligns properly with the interface connector on the dock.

3.Press the platform ledge back so that it is flush with the Tablet Dock.

Microsoft® Windows® uses “plug- and-play” technology to automatically load the files necessary to operate your Tablet Dock and any attached devices.

The following instructions assume the Tablet Dock is positioned in portrait mode, with the Lock Handle on the right of the dock.

1.Plug either the system’s AC Adapter or the AC Adapter that came with your Tablet Dock into a wall outlet, then into the Tablet Dock’s DC Input jack.

2.Set the Tablet PC on the Tablet Dock, with the system oriented in the same direction as the dock. (See Figure 4 for location). The connector in the back of the system should be aligned with the interface connector on the Tablet Dock.

Memory modules can be severely damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). To minimize risk to the module, before docking or undocking your system, touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity in your body.

If you have a high-capacity battery pack installed in your system, perform the following procedure before attempting to install the system.

Using the dock with a high-capacity battery

1.Holding the platform ledge, pull it away from the Tablet Dock (reference Figure 3).

2.With the ledge pulled out, lower it as far as it will go.

3.Press the ledge back so that it is flush with the Tablet Dock. The tablet with a high-capacity battery can now be docked.

Using the dock with a standard battery pack

1.To change the dock back to accommodate a standard battery (original configuration), pull the platform ledge away from the Tablet Dock.

2.Lift the platform until it stops.
