USING YOUR SECURITY PANEL
The security lock feature is in effect both when
the system resumes from Off, Standby, or
Hibernation state. You always need to push the
Security Panel buttons to input the user
password. Your system will not begin the boot
sequence until you enter your supervisor/user
password.
From Off State
1. Turn on your system.
2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter
the password and press Enter button.
For example, if the password is 22222, first
press Button 2 five times and press the
Enter button. The Tablet PC will boot to
normal operation.
From Standby/Hibernation State
1. Press your Suspend/Resume button.
2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter
the password and press Enter button.
The Tablet PC should resume normal
operation.
Incorrect Password Entry
If an invalid supervisor or user password is
entered three times in succession, the system
will “beep” for about one minute. If a valid
password is entered within a minute (while
system beeps), the beeping will stop and the
Tablet PC will resume normal operation. If no
password is entered or an invalid password is
entered while the system beeps, the system
will return to its previous locked state (standby
or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To
reactivate the Tablet PC after a password
failure, you must press the Suspend/Resume
button, then enter a correct password.
Remember the user password you
specified on the Security Panel
Application. If you forget the password
you will not be able to use your
computer. The supervisor password
can override the user password.
PRECAUTIONS
Low Battery Operations
If your Tablet PC has a low battery, pushing the
suspend/resume button does not unlock the
Tablet PC. To resume normal operation, first
attach a power supply to the system. Then you
may unlock the Tablet PC.
UNINSTALLING THE SECURITY
PANEL APPLICATION
You have two options when uninstalling the
security panel application:
• Remove passwords and uninstall the
security panel application software. This will
disable all security features.
• Uninstall the security panel application with
password still active. This will not allow any
changes to the password.
Uninstalling the Security Panel
Application Software
Remove passwords when User wants no
password protection whatsoever and doesn’t
want to give anybody the utility to set a
password on their computer. In this case, if
passwords (supervisor, user, or both) are set,
the passwords must first be cleared BEFORE
removing the application. To clear passwords,
follow same procedure in SETTING
PASSWORD CODES except this time, select
REMOVE, enter current password then click
Next. When asked to confirm select Yes .
Removing Security Panel Application with
Passwords Still Active
Using this feature will not allow any changes to
the password.
Removing the applications does not
remove the password. It simply
removes the utility to change/add/
remove passwords. To change your
password you must reinstall the
application.
