POWERING ON AND OFF Power on the MobilePro as follows. Slide the display panel latch to the right. Lift the display panel up towards the rear of the unit. Do not push the display panel beyond its pre- designed stop point as you open the panel. Locate and press the Power button.
NOTE The first time you install the main battery, the MobilePro automatically powers when you open the display panel. The first time you power on the MobilePro H/PC, screen contrast may need adjustment. Follow the in- structions in “Making Display Panel Adjustments.” You can power on or off with the display panel opened or closed.
NOTE You can also adjust the contrast through the Control Panel. See the software user’s guide for de- tails. Backlight You can toggle the backlight setting between standard and full by pressing the Backlight button. NOTE Keeping the backlight full depletes the battery twice as fast as when the backlight is standard.
Toggle the backlight as follows. Open the display panel and locate the Backlight key on upper-right side of the keyboard. With power on, press the Backlight key to toggle the backlight between standard and full. APPLICATION SHORTCUT KEYS The MobilePro H/PC has programmable function keys (F1 to F10 keys) that let you launch applications directly.
