To remove or swap a module, simple follow the
same procedure, except replace the module you
are removing with either another module, or the
Expansion cover plate.
NOTE: If your module contains, or is attached to, a
media card reader, external hard drive or other such
removable media device, be sure to eject the device as
you would a standard USB attached data storage device
before removing it in order to prevent possible data loss/
corruption. You can eject the device by going down to
the System Tray, tapping on the USB Device icon and the
selecting the device from the list you wish to eject.
Programming the Function Buttons
Your Sahara Slate PC has a total of eight function
buttons located on the sides of the tablet. While
the four on the left side are pre-programmed at
the factory, three of the four on the right side
are programmable by the user. You can use the
Tablet Button panel, located in the System Tray, to
reprogram those three buttons to activate a different
pre-programmed task, or to launch a “Custom”
application of your choice.
Simply tap on the icon to launch the Tablet Button
applet. [HotKey 1] is the top button on the right side
of the tablet, and it is pre-programmed to turn the
touch screen on and off. The other three buttons
can each be programmed to open the Windows
Explorer, open Internet Explorer, or open your
default e-mail reader simply by tapping on the
respective icon under each button's sub-section. If
you would like a button to open another application
installed on your tablet (or even a batch or script
file), simply tap on the fourth icon (hammer &
wrench) and then tap on the "Open" button. A file
dialog box appears so you can navigate to your
program of choice. Close the applet to enable and
save your choices.
Restoring Your System Using the System Recovery Partition
There may be times where you’ll encounter errors that may prevent you from booting into
Windows normally. Your Sahara Slate PC has a hidden partition on the data storage drive that
contains the files you’ll need to restore your system.
This recovery system uses Windows Recovery and enables you to restore the operating system
to a previous state in time, reinstall the operating system without losing your previous settings
or documents, or reinstall your system without saving your documents or settings.
IMPORTANT: You will need to have a mouse and/or keyboard with standard F1-F12 function keys
attached to your system in order to launch and navigate both the Advanced Boot Options menu and the
Windows Recovery System.
You enter into Windows Recovery through the Advanced Boot Options menu by hitting the [F8]
key on your keyboard when your Sahara Slate PC first starts up.
Remember to screw the module into place
to prevent it from coming off while in use.
Be sure to store the screws that attached the
cover in a safe place so as not to lose them.
Locate the Tablet Button icon in the System
Tray to program the function buttons.
