Knowing Who Is Using The Tablet; Checking The Wireless Signal Strength; Checking The Battery Charge; Typing With The Tablet - Intel Web Tablet Product Manual

Knowing Who Is Using the Tablet

You can tell at a glance which family member is using the tablet
by checking for their home button color. Each member's home
button color is shown along the top edge of the button bar and in
the loading progress indicator.

Checking the Wireless Signal Strength

The signal strength indicator on the control panel lets you know
the strength of the signal that the tablet is receiving from the
PC's wireless adapter. If the signal strength becomes too weak
(for example, you may be too far away from the wireless
adapter), the tablet cannot communicate with the PC. As the
signal gets weaker, browsing performance may slow or stop
entirely. Moving closer to the wireless adapter and raising the
antenna may improve reception.

Checking the Battery Charge

The battery power indicator, also on the control panel, lets you
know how much power is available in your tablet's rechargeable
battery. When the battery charge level becomes low, a warning
message appears indicating that you should recharge the battery.
To recharge the battery, open the tablet's access panel and
connect the AC adapter to the AC power jack. If you purchased
an optional charging cradle, connect the AC adapter to the
charging cradle and then set the tablet into the cradle. It takes
approximately six hours to fully recharge the battery.
You can continue to use the tablet while it is charging.

Typing with the Tablet

The on-screen keyboard is available whenever you need it.
When you want to type information in a text box, touch the text
box with the stylus or your finger to bring up the on-screen
keyboard.

button.
The on-screen keyboard is similar to a standard PC keyboard.
Letters and numbers are in the same location; however, web
shortcut keys and commonly used web symbols have been
added. Special characters and symbols are available when you
touch the key.

If you purchased an optional charging cradle, you can use a
more conventional method of typing by plugging a standard
0.5-amp (or less) PS/2* keyboard into the cradle keyboard jack.
Place the tablet into the charging cradle and begin typing. You
must connect the charging cradle to AC power when you use an
attached keyboard. When the PS/2 keyboard is connected, the
