• Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
• We recommend using the Digital Pen (oponal) to keep the screen clean.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source.
Wherever possible, the DT311NV should face away from direct light to reduce
glare.
• If the AC-DC power adapter is used to recharge or power the tablet, do NOT
use any AC-DC adapter other than the one provided or acquired from the
manufacturer or its partners.
• In the unlikely event that smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present,
immediately power o the DT311NV and disconnect all power sources. Report
the problem to your device provider immediately.
• Never aempt to disassemble the DT311NV, as this will void the warranty.
BASIC FEATURES
The DT311NV rugged tablet integrates a dual mode switchable NVIS or high-
brightness touchscreen, USB ports, and embedded networking elements such as
wireless LAN and Bluetooth or oponal 4G LTE/ AWS.
A DT311NV typically integrates an 802.11ac wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter that may
connect to other wireless devices or access points. If your DT311NV does not come
with such a network adapter, please consult your device provider to establish the
desired network connecvity.
NOTE:
To obtain protecon consistent with any IP rang for the device, the I/O (audio,
power, USB, card reader, etc.) port doors must be closed. If the IP protecon is
compromised by mishandling or misuse, such as by leaving port doors open or
improperly closed, any resulng product damage will not be covered under any
DT Research warranty.
Start Up
If the power up (from Standby mode or otherwise) is successful, the appropriate
interface will be displayed aer a launch sequence of several seconds. The wireless
LAN connecon may take 10-15 seconds to be established.
Configuring the Rugged Tablet
The DT311NV may be congured using the ulies and methods dictated by
the soware operang system. The DT311NV should be congurable for various
properes such as user proles, network features, and several system elements.
NVIS Mode and Screen Brightness Control
• When power buon is pressed to power on the unit, power LED will ash orange

brightness by default and display will be dark. You can press the “Brightness Up”
and “Brightness Down” buons to set NVIS mode display to desired brightness
(up to 20 nits).
• To toggle between NVIS and high-brightness display mode, press the “NVIS/
Normal Mode Toggle” buon. When changed from NVIS mode to high-brightness
mode, display brightness percentage will be same as the brightness level set in
NVIS mode before toggling.
