instructions provided on the screen protector packaging.
Battery care
Use and storage temperature: Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to high temperatures, so
keep the device's batteries out of direct sun for long periods, and do not leave batteries in
a hot car, especially on a dashboard in full sun or other environments where temperatures
can exceed +70 °C (+158 °F). Battery life can be shortened if stored, charged, or operated
outside of these temperature ranges. Recommended storage temperature is at room
temperature (~+20 °C / +68 °F). When you are using the device or charging the battery
pack, it is normal for the device and battery pack to get warm.
If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures (for
example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may
experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature automatically:
l The device stops charging.
l If the device cannot regulate its internal temperature, it may go into a Sleep state until it
cools (see Sleep state, page 25).
Move the device to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before
trying to use the device again.
Charging: Recharge the battery any time; the battery pack does not need to be empty or
low before you recharge it. However, it is best to let the battery run to below 10 percent at
least once a month before you recharge it. Use only the manufacturer designated
charging accessories to recharge the batteries. Charge only at temperatures between 0 °C
and +45 °C (32 °F and 113 °F) for best battery life and performance.
Other environmental conditions: Battery packs are IP65-rated, sealed from water and dust
ingress, and are tested for protection from drops when in the tablet from heights up to
1.22m. However, to prolong the life of the battery pack, dry it off with a cloth if it becomes
wet, protect the contacts from moisture and short-circuiting, do not intentionally
submerge the battery, and take care to avoid unnecessary drops, mechanical shocks, and
vibrations.
The T10x tablet is designed to work in ambient temperatures between -10 °C and 60 °C
(14°F and 140 °F) and to be stored (without the battery) in temperatures between -55 °C
and 70 °C (-67 °F and 158 °F). Avoid exposing the device to dramatic changes in
temperature or humidity.

This section contains answers to some common troubleshooting questions. If you
encounter problems when using your T10x tablet, try the following troubleshooting tips to
detect and solve the problem. If problems persist, contact your local reseller for support.
Further assistance and support with the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
operating system
For comprehensive online support, how-to guides, troubleshooting articles and related
downloads for the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise operating system, go to the online Microsoft
support pages for the Windows 10 operating system.
Performance issues
Device is running slowly
l Operating system updates may be installing.
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise may have automatically downloaded software or operating
system updates, and is installing these in the background. While these updates are
being installed, system performance may be reduced, or wireless connectivity speed
may appear to be slower than normal.
8
Trimble T10xTablet User Guide | 55
8 Troubleshooting, downloading updates, and repair
l You may have too many background applications running.
Some programs start automatically and run in the background. You can disable these
programs at startup to improve Windows startup time and overall system
performance.
l You may have malware or a virus.
A virus or other malicious software could cause your device to run slowly. Check
whether your device has a virus by using Windows Defender, which is included with
Windows 10, or refer to the documentation for your third party antivirus software.
l Check your wireless network speed.
If the apps you are using are connecting to the Internet, a poor network connection
may be causing them to run slowly. For detailed information on checking your network,
see Wi-Fi speed is slow, page 56.
l Check for low disk space.
You may be able to improve performance if you free up some disk space on your
device. Disk Cleanup can delete temporary and system files, empty the Recycle bin, and
remove apps and data that you no longer need.
l Your device may have overheated.
If you are using your device in a hot environment and/or are using a processor- or
memory-intensive app, your device may have become too hot. Move your device to a
cooler spot, wait five minutes, and see if it runs faster.
Wireless connectivity issues
Wi-Fi speed is slow
l Your network is running slow for all devices.
You should first check to see whether your network is slow on another device. Can you
connect to your wireless network and browse the web at normal speeds from another
PC, tablet, or smartphone? Try running a Network Speed Test to ensure your Internet
connection is functioning normally.
l Your Wi-Fi signal is weak.
Check the Wireless network icon in the taskbar. This icon shows your current
signal strength. If the icon is partially dimmed, move your device closer to your wireless
router to see if the signal improves. If your router is broadcasting on both a 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz frequency, try connecting to a different frequency. In general, a network
operating on the 5 GHz frequency will be faster and less susceptible to interference,
but will have a shorter range than a 2.4 GHz network.
Trimble T10xTablet User Guide | 56
8 Troubleshooting, downloading updates, and repair
Wi-Fi is not connected
l There is no Wi-Fi connectivity.
Make sure that the tablet is not in Airplane mode; Airplane mode must be OFFin the

Power and battery issues
Battery will not charge
l The battery is overheated, or too cold.
The battery will charge between 0 °C and +45 °C (+32 °F and +113 °F). If you have been
using or storing the device in a particularly hot or cold environment, the battery may be
outside the safe charging temperature range. Sensors in the battery will prevent the
battery from charging until its temperature returns to a normal level..
Device will not start up
l The battery does not have enough charge to power the device.
Check the battery charge; see Checking the battery charge, page 26. If the battery
charge is low, attach the device to an external power source, then try again.
l The battery is not correctly installed.
The device may not be receiving power from the battery if it is not installed properly.
Remove the battery, then replace it, pressing down on both corners until it clicks into
place. See Removing and inserting battery packs, page 26.

If your battery charge level gets too low, the device will automatically go into a
hibernate mode to prevent loss of data. If the battery charge is too low, connect the
device to external power.
If you regularly run out of battery power while in the field, consider carrying a spare
battery with you. The device supports hot-swapping of the battery, which means that
the device will keep running for up to two minutes while you remove the battery pack
and replace it with another.

8 Troubleshooting, downloading updates, and repair
Device shuts down when hot-swapping the battery
l Hot-swap battery is not sufficiently charged.
The hot-swap back-up battery allows you to change the main device battery pack for a
charged one without shutting the device down. To function correctly, the hot-swap
battery must have at least 90 minutes of charging time before it can work properly. If
you attempt multiple hot-swaps without allowing the back-up battery to recharge, your
device may shut down when the battery pack is removed
Restarting or resetting the operating system
If your device becomes unresponsive and you cannot resolve the problem, you need to
restart or reset your device.
For detailed instructions on the recovery options in Windows 10, refer to the Microsoft
support pages on Windows 10 recovery options at www.support.microsoft.com.
Restarting your (unresponsive) device
If your device is no longer responding to touchscreen or keypad input, you may need to
force it to restart by removing power from the system.
NOTE – Restarting the system by holding down the Power button removes power to the
CPU. Any unsaved files and settings will be lost.
To force your device to restart, press and hold the Power button until the device shuts
down (~10 seconds), then restart your device by pressing the Power button.
