Installing the hand strap
The hand strap is designed to let you hold your system
securely when it is installed in the case. Use of the hand strap
is highly recommended.
The hand strap consists of two parts, each of which has a
Velcro strip on one end and a retaining bar at the other. Note
that the longer of the two strips (with the “fuzzy” Velcro)
should be positioned in the top slot, while the shorter strip
(with the “hooks” Velcro) should be inserted in the bottom
slot. To install the hand strap, perform the following proce-
dure:
1. Position the case so that it is face down and the hand
strap slots are facing up. (Figure 2)

2. Insert the shorter of the two pieces of the hand strap
into the bottom slots with the Velcro “hooks” strip fac-
ing up. (Figure 3) Pull it through until the retaining bar
is snug against the case.

Installing the system
To install your system into the rugged tablet case, perform
the following steps:
1. Position the case face down (the same orientation as
when you installed the hand strap).
2. Position the system in tablet mode with the display fac-
ing down, and hold it by the edge opposite the battery.

3. Insert the battery edge of the system into the wide, rigid
edge of the case (the side with the D-rings). Push it in
until it is flush with the edge of the case. (Figure 4)
4. Lift the flexible edge of the case sufficiently to allow the
system to lie in the case, then release the flexible edge.
5. Overlap the two halves of the hand strap so that they
attach to each other.

Using the hand strap
When you want to hold the case using the elastic hand strap,
first separate the two halves. Place your hand in a comfort-
able position on the bottom of the system and re-secure the
strap against the back of your hand.
When not using the hand strap, attach it snugly against the
back of the computer.
Installing the handle
To install the handle, perform the following steps:
1. Insert one end of the handle into the D-ring, with the
buckle facing outwards (Figure 7).

Installing the pen tether
To install the pen tether, insert one end into one of the D-
rings, then feed it through the loop on the other end. Pull it
snug against the D-ring.
Feed the loose end of the tether through the hole on the end
of the pen, slide the loop over the tip of the pen, then down
the barrel. Pull it snugly to tighten the loop.
Caring for the rugged tablet case
The case is made of rugged materials, and is designed to
withstand daily use. Treat the case as you would a briefcase
or purse. Occasionally, the case may become soiled. To clean
it, remove the system from the case if it is installed, then use
a clean cloth and warm soapy water to wash the soiled area.
