Getting Started

First charge the battery in your AirPadX, connect the included power supply to the jack on the side of your AirPadX (next to the

ON/OFF button) and plug the power supply into an AC outlet. It may take up to 4 hours to fully charge the unit.

The AirPadX does NOT charge via the included USB cable.

For best battery performance leave your AirPadX charging overnight or when not in use. See also page 20.

You can read various sections of this manual at any time to learn how to accomplish specifi c tasks. You can also visit X10’s Wiki on-line at: http://kbase.x10.com/wiki/airpadx

Also see our AirPadX Forums at: http://forums.x10.com

Important: If the screen seems unresponsive when you swipe your fi nger across it or touch icons, make sure your other hand isn’t touching the screen while you’re holding the AirPadX.

To turn your AirPadX on

Press and hold the round ON/OFF button on the side of the unit until the AirPadX logo appears. Release the button and wait while the unit

“boots up.” Then swipe the lock icon with your fi nger to unlock it.

To suspend the AirPadX (Sleep mode)

Note that this still uses power and can run the battery down quite quickly if Wi-Fi is turned on. The AirPadX will go to sleep by itself if you do nothing for a while. To force it to go into sleep mode, press and release the round ON/OFF button on the side of the unit.

To turn the AirPadX completely off (shut it down)

Press and hold the round ON/OFF button on the side of the unit until you see a screen that shows the option to Power off. Touch that button on the screen. Then touch OK. Next time you power on you will need to follow the steps above. If however the AirPadX was just “asleep” then just pressing the ON/OFF button displays a screen where you can swipe the lock icon with your fi nger to unlock it.
