Turning on the Slate and Establishing a Wireless Connection 13
Turning on the Slate and Establishing a Wireless
Connection
This chapter shows you how to:
• turn on the slate and establish a Bluetooth wireless connection (this page)
• terminate a Bluetooth wireless connection (page 16)
• turn off the slate (page 16).
To operate properly, the slate must either have sufficient charge in its battery or be connected to an
external power source.
The Power indicator indicates the slate’s status.
When you’ve enabled Bluetooth wireless support (page 5), you can connect the slate to your
computer using either an installed Bluetooth wireless adapter or, if available, your computer’s built-
in Bluetooth wireless support. The following instructions explain how you can establish a wireless
connection between your slate and your computer using Bluetooth wireless technology.
If you turn on your slate and the slate was previously connected to a computer, the slate
automatically attempts to reestablish its most recent wireless connection (page 15).
NOTE: The use of wireless devices is regulated in most countries. If you’ll be traveling with your
AirLiner WS100 wireless slate, check with the appropriate regulatory authority for any restrictions
that may apply.
