you can access the help file by tapping on the “?” button in the
upper right hand corner of the keyboard.

Connecting to the Internet
Your Sahara NetSlate allows you to connect to the Internet in a
few different ways. The ways vary depending on your network-
ing environment as well as personal preference and available
equipment.

Using a Wireless LAN
The WiFi wireless networking adapter built into your Sahara
NetSlate is compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n (Draft 2.0) wireless
networks, and can therefore connect to wireless routers or
access points that support any of these standards.

1. Turn on the WiFi

transmitter using the
toggle switch on the
top of your tablet.
Make sure the switch
lights up blue. If the
light is amber, your Sahara NetSlate is in WWAN mode. Press
the wireless mode button on the front of the tablet again
to place it into WiFi mode (see the section Font View in the
chapter “Touring Your Sahara NetSlate” for the location of
the Wireless Mode button).

NOTE: If the switch lights up both Blue and Amber it is in dual mode

and both transmitters are active. You may wish to press it again until it

only lights blue to use just the WiFi transmitter to save battery life.

The Eyesboard Virtual Keyboard includes a standard keyboard (shown

here), Numeric keypad, and Function keypad.

Slide this toggle switch to the left to turn on

the Sahara NetSlate’s wireless transmitter
