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.
