Dell™ Latitude™ E6400 XFR Setup and Features Information Smart Cards Smart (CAC) cards are laptop credit-card shaped devices with internal integrated circuits. Using smart cards can improve system security by combining something a user has (the smart card) with something only the user should know (a PIN) to provide more secure user-authentication than passwords alone. There are two main types of Smart Cards: • Contact Smart Cards — These cards have a contact area with many gold plated connection pads. When inserted into a card reader, the information from the chip can be read and written. • Contactless Smart Cards — These cards do not require any physical contact with the reader. The chip communicates with the card reader through RFID induction technology. These cards require only close proximity to an antenna of a card reader to complete transaction. GPS To be determined… RF Pass-Through In the event the XTG notebook has an integrated WiFi and/or Broadband radio, the RF signals can be passed through a docking station to external TNC antenna connectors (LAN/WAN). This supports the connection and use of external, vehicle-mounted antennas (purchased separately) for improved radio performance. DirectVue™ Touch Display Information If you purchased your E6400 XFR Fully Rugged Notebook with the optional DirectVue Touch Display please review the following user instructions and tips. The E6400 XFR provides an optional touch screen display for entering and selecting data using an approved pointing device such as your finger, a passive stylus or any non-abrasive smooth blunt object that will not damage the touch display. NOTICE: To ensure you properly care for and maintain your touch display, adhere to the care instructions regarding the display. Page 10 01/08/09

Dell™ Latitude™ E6400 XFR Setup and Features Information CAUTION: The optional DirectVueTM Touch Display has been designed to accept finger touch as well as passive stylus input directly onto the screen. With the optional DirectVueTM Touch Display, a stylus is included with the E6400 XFR for use in selecting items on the touch screen. Other pointing devices can be used with the touch screen such as any non-abrasive, smooth or blunt object that will not damage the touch screen display. The touch screen surface can be damaged by ink pens, marker pens or other pointed or abrasive objects. The use of non-approved input devices that cause damage to the digitizer or LCD may not be covered by the limited warranty. The touch screen is pre-configured and pre-calibrated at the factory, but may require further calibration to improve accuracy for entering or selecting data on the touch display. Please see the Tools section for information on Calibrating your E6400 XFR Touch Display and using your stylus. 3 Accessing Drivers and Documentation Your E6400 XFR DirectVue Touch Display’s drivers, touch-input parameters and documentation have been pre-loaded at the factory. For experienced users or IT administrators - if you need to re-install drivers, set up your E6400 XFR Touch Display or modify parameters please refer to the pre-loaded E6400 XFR Touchkit Utility documentation for detailed instructions and refer to the summary provided in Touchkit Configuration Utility. 4 You can launch the pre-loaded documentation by selecting Start -> Programs -> Touchkit -> Document.

Dell™ Latitude™ E6400 XFR Setup and Features Information General The general property page shows all the Touchkit touch screen controllers installed including RS232, USB and PS2 interfaces. The E6400 XFR touch screen controller is a USB device. Tools The Tools property page provides the following information and functions which are selected by pressing the push buttons. NOTE: Your touch screen is configured and calibrated at the factory. However, if you notice that the calibration is not as precise as you would like, you can use the 4 Points Calibration and/or the Linearization tool to provide a more accurate alignment of the touch screen. • Graph of the Linearization Curve of the touch screen – for reference and troubleshooting purposes. See its usage in the discussion of the Linearization function. • 4 Points Calibration – Calibration aligns the touch panel with the video screen. The touch screen must be calibrated to allow for positional accuracy of the stylus or finger touch inputs. • Clear and Calibrate – Clears the calibration/linearization parameters and allows you to perform the 4 points calibration again. • Linearization (9 or 25 points linearization is set within the Setting tab) – the linearization 1 function provides for more precise mapping of the stylus or finger touch inputs. After linearization is completed, the linearity of the touch screen will be shown in the Linearization Curve window. • Draw Test - used for accuracy and performance checking. Page 12 01/08/09

Dell™ Latitude™ E6400 XFR Setup and Features Information . 1. 4 Points Calibration The touch screen must be calibrated before it can work accurately. This function pops up a new window to guide you through the 4 points calibration. You should follow the guide to touch and hold the blinking X symbol in the calibration window until it does not blink to make sure that the utility can gather enough data for computation. In addition, a time line bar is shown in the bottom of the window to indicate time elapsed. If the touch screen is not touched before the time line bar reaches the right end, the calibration task will be terminated automatically. 2. Linearization This function provides for more accurate touch screen positional alignment. The linearization function pops up a new window to guide you through the 9 or 25 points calibration. Configuring the function for 9 or 25 points calibration is accessed in the Setting tab. You should follow the 1 guide to touch and hold the blinking X symbol in the calibration window until it does not blink to make sure that the utility can gather enough data for computation.
