How to use the pen effectively

Capacitive touch screens all favour finger input as the 
preferred method. Finding a stylus to suit the TEGA v2 was 
a challenge but ultimately we settled on the DAGI pen with 
see-through tip. It will allow you to take simple crude notes, 
just ensure you have the tip flat on the screen surface, and 
that your palm does not lean on the TEGA v2 and interrupt 

the cursor. For basic annotating it should be fun!

Battery optimization

Tips and tricks for best battery performance

We all know that battery life is a major issue for mobile devices, so with 
this in mind we want to provide you with a little primer on how to get the 
most out of your TEGA v2 and its battery.

When you don’t need the display to operate at full 
brightness (outside or in a meeting for example), 
turn the brightness down. The best way to do this is 
via power management or Windows Mobility Centre.

Chose the correct power plan. Even though you might 

be tempted to use High Performance mode it may be 
best to go for Power Saver then edit your plan settings 
to adjust screen brightness and sleep mode.

When your TEGA v2 is in sleep mode you simply 
wake it by tapping on the power button once, in 
Hibernate battery optimization is best but your 

unit will completely shut down in the process of 
hibernating.

Disable built-in devices not in use, for e.g. Wi-
Fi, Bluetooth or 3G. To do this look at the button 
configuration overleaf to understand how the enter 
buttons works towards enable/disabling these 
devices.

Get in range of your wireless network and improve 

battery life. When you access a wireless network, 
you can extend your battery by ensuring you are in 
range of a good signal .

Battery life is often a reflection of desired usage, for example some 
owners of the TEGA v2 will require a full working day from the unit 
while others will often go between meeting topping up battery with 
use of the supplied car charger or AC adapter. Often deciding how to 
optimize battery is more about setting a goal for exactly how much 

time you need between a top-up. Given it will take about 45 minutes 
of charge, to gain about 90 minutes battery life back, then often it 
will pay to travel with the car charger, an AC adapter or an external 
battery pack. Follow some of the tips above or download a full Battery

 Quick Guide 2011

 

Hardware Overview:

Buttons: 

Below you will find a brief definition for the TEGAv2 buttons 
(Power | Home | Enter/Wifi - On/Off)

1. Power:

A simple short tap will turn the TEGA v2 on. Once turned on a simple 
tap will display a power management menu within Android in order 
to “shut down or reboot”, or in Windows will send the computer to 
sleep within eight (8) seconds. To wake the computer from sleep 
simply tap on the power button once again.

2. Home:

Within Android the Home button acts as a back button. Within 
Windows the Home button utilizes the inherent multitasking 
abilities of Windows and with a single tap collapses all the current 
active Windows, and with another single tap resumes all current 
active Windows to their previous state.  

3. Enter/Wifi & Bluetooth:

Within Android the enter button does exactly that, i.e. act as an enter 
button. Within Windows a single tap with turn Wi-Fi on/off, a three 
(3) second press will turn 3G on/off, and a ten (10) second press 
will calibrate the touchscreen – both the Power light and the SSD 
light will flash simultaneously to let you know you have completed 
calibration successfully after the ten (10) second press.

3G Function:

 

How to use it?

We have preloaded an app-
lication call “Mobile Partner” in 
the programs section of your 
TEGA v2. Once your 3G modem is 
enabled (via the enter button as 
described above) you’ll be able 
to confirm the 3G is enabled by 

clicking on “Tools > Radio” to see if you are enabled or disabled. If you 
are not enabled at this stage please follow the enabling instructions 
again to wake the modem until you see it is enabled. To connect for 
the first time often you’ll need to enter some simple configuration 
data, for example username, password. Access number and APN – 
these will be assigned to you by your SIM car provider.
