% ^ & * ( Interacting with the Active Digitizer and/or Touch Screen Unlike a standard laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational activities on an Ultra-Mobile PC are completed using the stylus pen, or even your fingers if using the touch screen. The screen will react to the pen differently depending on whether you are using the Touch Screen mode or the Active Digitizer mode.
Touch Screen mode Navigating with a touch screen is different from navigating with a mouse. The pen will interact with the computer whenever you touch it to the screen. Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen. Instead of sliding the pen around the screen, just tap on what you want to interact with. Sliding the pen while lightly touching the tip to the screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button.
TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead of the tip of the pen. Tapping lightly on the screen with the tip of the stylus will perform a standard left mouse click. If you want to perform a right mouse click, press and hold down the tip of the stylus lightly on the screen. In a moment, an animated icon will draw around the pointer. Lift the stylus from the screen to complete the button press.
Chapter 02 Touring Your eo TufTab Ultra-Mobile PC The eo TufTab a7230X Ultra-Mobile PC features a number of physical characteristics designed to help you work as efficiently as possible. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the controls and Input/ Output (I/O) ports on the faces and sides of the computer. Understanding the layout of the system will help you use your eo TufTab a7230X more efficiently while in the field or on-the-go.

Chapter 03 Battery Usage and Care Depending on your system’s configuration and your application usage, two fully charged batteries should allow you to run your eo TufTab a7230X for 4 ~ 5 hours. Remember, however, that the batteries are hot swappable, which means that with an extra set of batteries, and an optional Docking Cradle, you could theoretically run the eo TufTab without ever having to power down and recharge.
To calibrate the battery pack, follow these steps: 1. Turn the computer off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery fully recharge. 2. Disconnect the AC adapter and power on the computer. Let the battery run down until it is so low that the battery charge light turns red and the system automatically enters the Suspend mode. 3. Reconnect the AC adapter, let the battery fully recharge and then run the computer with the external power still connected for at least five (5) continuous hours.
When fully charged, each battery indicator will change to green and the batteries’ charge will be maintained while connected to the external power source. When the computer is disconnected from the electrical outlet, the battery indicators will turn off. Below is a table that illustrates how the batteries in the a7230X are charged: Both batteries are lower than 85% capacity. The lowest battery is charged to 85%. The remaining battery is charged to 100%. The former battery is charged to 100%.
Battery Status Both Windows 7 and Windows XP have an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows task bar indicating when the computer is running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter. This applet also displays a meter that indicates approximately how much of a charge is remaining in the batteries. Typically, battery discharge is done in stages to help promote battery integrity and prevent data loss during a hot swap operation.
recharged) will decrease. Depending on how often the battery is used, how many times it has been charged and the conditions under which it is used, you may need to purchase a new battery during the life of your computer. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, only use replacement batteries recommended by TabletKiosk. To prevent the loss of data, do not remove both batteries while the system is powered on unless attached to an external power source. NOTE: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste.
Storing a Battery When storing your computer for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you remove the battery pack and store it in a dry, cool location (Do not freeze). Also, we recommend storing the battery with a 40 - 50% charge. If you store the battery when it is fully discharged, it is possible that the battery could fall into a deeply discharged state. This can cause the battery to loose its ability to hold any charge at all.

Chapter 04 Using Your eo TufTab a7230X with Windows XP While your eo TufTab a7230X Ultra-Mobile PC is a versatile, mobile computer capable of accomplishing all the same tasks as a netbook, and running most all the same applications as standard laptops and desktop PCs, there are some differences in the way that you interact with Windows using a stylus pen, or your fingers, as opposed to a mouse and keyboard.
moving the stylus pen’s tip just above the screen will cause the pointer to follow along similarly to how it behaves when moving a mouse. Sliding the pen while lightly touching the tip to the screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button. In other words, you would be performing a drag operation.
Calibrating the Touch Screen If you find that the pointer isn’t properly following the touch of your stylus pen, you might need to calibrate the touch screen. 1. From the “Device” tab, tap on the “PenMount 6000 USB” icon and then tap “Configure”. Alternatively, just double-tap on the “PenMount 6000 USB” icon. 2. Tap on the “Calibrate” tab and then tap on either the “Standard Calibration” or the “Advanced Calibration” button.
NOTE: If you find the “Standard Calibration” to be too imprecise, the “Advanced Calibration” mode offers 4, 9, 16 or 25 points for calibrating. We suggest starting at 9 points. For both modes, it is highly recommended that you use the stylus, rather than your finger, to produce to most accurate results. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions by tapping and holding on each red square that appears until you are told to lift to proceed.
If you check the Plot Calibration Data option in the “Advanced Calibration” mode, a linearity comparison graph will be displayed after the “Advanced Calibration” is complete. The black lines reflect the ideal linearity assumed by the PenMount control panel, while the blue lines represent the approximate linearity calculated by the calibration. There may be circumstances where you don’t want the calibration data to be stored in the controller.
Click on Touch (Point Mode) only accepts and relays one positional coordinate each time the stylus or a finger touches the screen. In order to relay a new positional coordinate to Windows, you must retouch the screen with your finger or stylus. This mode is useful for menu or button-driven touch applications — such as kiosks, P.O.S. or hospitality order taking — that do not involve tasks that require continuous data input like signature capture, item dragging or handwriting recognition.
To enable the audible response: 1. From the “Device” tab, tap on the “PenMount 6000 USB” icon and then tap “Configure”. Alternatively, just double-tap on the “PenMount 6000 USB” icon. 2. Tap on the “Setting” tab and then tap the “Beep Sound” check box to enable. Sound Type The “Kind of Sound” drop-down box gives you a choice between two different types of sound that the screen can make: a “Buzzer Beep” from the Sahara NetSlate’s internal PC speaker, or an “Audio Beep” from the internal sound system.
You can adjust the amount of time you must press on the screen before the right-click is performed (Delay), as well as the size of the Area that will register the right-click. NOTE: To enable a right-click function to be activated by the touch of a finger, set the area larger. To prevent a right-click by anything but the stylus pen, make the area smaller.
screen (left-click or right-click). Useful for when “Right-Click Emulation” is disabled, or when pressing and holding on the screen is impractical or cumbersome. You can choose to display the icon in the System Tray or on the Desktop. Gesture Enable Gestures are short-cuts that you can perform with a simple flick of your finger or pen on the screen, or by drawing a simple, predetermined shape.
In the Gesture Settings section, tapping on the Gesture icon button pops open a window that allows you to choose from all of the predetermined Gesture motions.
Touch Screen Behavior The following check boxes will alter the way that the touch screen behaves. These options have no affect on how the screen behaviors when in digitizer mode (a7230XD only). Enable Touch The “Enable Touch” check box allows you to enable and disable the touch screen. NOTE: a7230XT owners should be careful, for if you disable the touch screen you will need to attach a keyboard or mouse in order to navigate and interact with your system. a7230XD users can still use the digitizer.
calibration input and exit, tap “Try Again” to redo the calibration routine, or tap “Cancel” to quit without saving the new calibration information. Digitizer Settings and Calibration (a7230XD only) Wacom’s “Pen Tablet Properties” Control Panel allows you to customize the behavior of the Stylus Pen as well as calibrate the digitizer for more accurate input. 1. Go to the START Menu and tap on “Control Panel” in the right hand column. 2.
Pen Button Action The button on the side of the stylus pen can be programmed to perform a wide variety of tasks, including a standard left-button click, a double-click, a right-click, opening the Tablet PC Input panels (see the section entitled “Entering Text with the Input Panels” later in this chapter), entering a keyboard keystroke combination, opening a program, and more.
Click Sound This option is the same as the corresponding feature in the touch screen settings, except that it will cause the system to make an audible “clicking” sound when the pen’s tip touches the screen while in digitizer mode. Advanced Settings Tapping on the “Advanced” button opens the “Advanced Settings” window where you can specify how the pen’s side button will function.
The sort of actions you can add to the pop-up menu includes keystroke combinations, opening specific applications, and changing the pen’s follow mode between “pen” and “mouse”. You can also choose the font face and the font size that will display in the pop-up menu. Calibrate Tab This is where you will find the digitizer’s calibration routine. Simply tap the “Calibrate...” button to start the calibration.
Windows Tablet and Pen Settings Control Panel Besides the Wacom control panel, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition also features its own control panel. To access the “Tablet and Pen Settings” control panel: 1. Tap on the START button to open the START Menu. 2. Tap on the “Control Panel” and then in the Control Panel window that opens, tap on the “Printers and Other Hardware” category. 3.
Programming the Function Buttons Your eo TufTab a7230X has four function buttons located on the right side of the LCD panel on the front face of the tablet. The first two buttons are assigned functions (System Power and SAS respectively) that can not be overridden. Therefore, only buttons three and four are user-programmable. You can use the “Tablet Button” applet to reprogram those two buttons to activate a different pre-programmed task, or to launch an application or a batch file of your choosing.
3. After you have assigned the functions to the buttons you would like to reprogram, simply close the Tablet Button applet. NOTE: Volume and Screen Brightness can only be chosen in pairs. Meaning, if you choose Volume Up for function button three, function button four will automatically be assigned Volume Down. The same is true for Screen Brightness. The rest of the functions can be chosen independently of the other button.
screen resolutions you can change to (640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768) are standard 4:3 aspect ratios. The “Aspect Ratio Options” panel allows you to control how these non-native screen resolutions will resolve on your display (i.e. stretched or pillar boxed). Color Correction The Color Correction tab is where you will find the controls that affect the color balance, brightness and contrast of the display screen. Use the control sliders to adjust the screen values.
By using the color channel option buttons at the top of the panel, you can change the RGB color values equally or individually. The Gamma control will adjust the screen’s brightness without affecting the white point or the black point of the display. Tap on the “Restore Defaults” button to return the control settings to their default values.
Character Pad This pad accepts input on a character-by-character basis and is useful for entering information that requires a higher level of precision, such as passwords, website URLs or e-mail addresses. When you reach the end of the line, the pad will expand automatically so you can keep on writing without having to stop. Windows will convert your handwriting into text, on the fly, and then insert it in the appropriate location when you tap “Insert”.
For more information about the Input Panels, refer to the Windows Online Help System by tapping on the “Help and Support” item inside the START Menu. To learn more about how to use the input panels, you can also take the “Tablet PC Tutorials” by navigating to “All Programs > Tablet PC > Tablet PC Tutorials” in the START Menu. For more information about the Input Panel’s “Options” menu, tap on the “Help” button inside of the “Options” Menu Panel.
adjusting the sensitivity, be aware that when the drive’s heads are parked, no read/write operations will be possible.

4. If the wireless network you are attempting to connect to is security-enabled, you will see a dialog box requesting either a network key or, if the wireless network supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), a PIN. When successfully connected to a wireless network, you will see a message similar to this that shows your connection info. NOTE: If your network access point or router uses WiFi Protected Set-up, the WPS Wizard will appear on the screen.
you will probably find that you are now connected to the Internet. If not, continue on with step 2. 2. From the START menu, select “Connect To” and tap on “Show all connections”. 3. In the “Network Connections” window, look at the “Local Area Connection” item and make sure it reads as “Connected”. If not, recheck that your networking cable is properly connected, or contact your network administrator. 4.
7. After entering the correct the information, tap “OK” to accept your changes and close the window. Tap “OK” in the “Local Area Connection Properties” window to finish. Using Both DHCP and a Static IP Address If you connect to multiple networks with either DHCP or static IP addressing, you can use alternative settings that will enable simultaneous configurations of both DHCP and a static IP.
NOTE: The wireless range can be shortened from interference caused by other wireless devices and/or by walls made of dense building materials. In real world scenarios, Bluetooth connectivity has been reliably tested on the a7230X at distances of up to 18 feet.
