Mobile Broadband

Some tablet models are available with an optional Mobile Broadband adapter that you can use to send and receive data wirelessly. By using Mobile Broadband, you can browse the Internet, send and receive email, connect to your company’s intranet, and use Web-based applications. You can typically use Mobile Broadband anywhere you can use your mobile phone.

Mobile Broadband is based on cellular network technology, so you can use it in more places than other wireless technologies. With Mobile Broadband, your Tablet PC connects to a service provider’s base station, which in turn is connected to the Internet. Unlike Wi-Fi, you do not need to buy base stations or search for Wi-Fi hotspots. For more information, see “Using Mobile Broadband” on page 42.

Bluetooth wireless

The system has an integrated Bluetooth adapter. With Bluetooth, computers and other devices—such as mice, keyboards, and PDAs—can be interconnected using a short-range wireless connection. Bluetooth devices can connect wirelessly at distances up to 33 feet (10 meters).

For more information, see “Using Bluetooth” on page 45.

Battery

The system includes a high-capacity Lithium-ion battery that fits in to the back of the unit. Under normal conditions, you can run the system on battery power for about three hours. You can maximize battery life by optimizing your power scheme. See “Using power management” on page 38.

For information about charging and checking battery status, see “Using the battery” on page 35.

DANGER: To avoid personal injury, handle the battery with care. Do not open, puncture, short, or expose it to fire or water. Keep the battery in an environment with ambient temperature of less than 104°F (40°C). For example, do not leave the battery in a closed car in hot weather for an extended time. For more information, see the Safety and Regulatory Guide packaged with the system.
