CHAPTER

Getting Started

Congratulations on purchasing this Tablet PC.

This hand-held computer, having no fan and being almost noiseless, is especially designed for the practical applications of warehouses, automobiles, vehicles, public security, repairing, assisting the handicapped, and other demanding situations where conventional notebook computers just cannot measure up.

This chapter first tells you step by step how to get the computer up and running. You will find instructions for these procedures:

Unpacking

Connecting to AC power

Turning on the computer

Turning off the computer

Then, you will find a section briefly introducing the external components of the computer. And the last section navigates you to the information you may need after the computer is ready for use.
