After you create a connection between the AirLiner slate and your computer, the slate rejects 
connection attempts by other computers. However, if you press the Connect button, the slate 
switches to discoverable mode, allowing you to create a new wireless connection.

The AirLiner slate automatically reestablishes a wireless connection to your computer after you 
create a wireless connection the first time, even if you restart your computer or temporarily remove 
the Bluetooth USB adapter. However, you must create a new wireless connection between the 
AirLiner slate and your computer (page 20) in the following situations:

•

You press the Connect buttton.

•

You create a wireless connection with a second computer, and then return to the first 
computer.

The AirLiner slate turns off when its wireless connection to your computer is broken for more than 
two seconds. You can reestablish the wireless connection without pressing the Connect button in 
these instances:

•

You turn off the connected computer.

•

You remove the Bluetooth USB adapter from the computer’s USB port.

•

You turn off the computer’s built-in Bluetooth wireless support.

•

You move the slate outside the operational range of the Bluetooth wireless connection.

NOTE: To determine the operational range of your wireless connection, see the instructions 
included with your adapter (if you’re using a Bluetooth USB adapter) or your computer (if 
you’re using your computer’s built-in Bluetooth wireless support).

After you successfully create a wireless connection between the AirLiner slate to 
your computer, the slate appears as a connected device in your Bluetooth 
software, and the power indicator on the slate turns solid blue.

To confirm a successful connection to your computer, write with the tethered pen 
on the slate’s workspace. The pointer’s on-screen movement should reflect the 
pen’s movement on the slate.

NOTE: If you’re unable to create a wireless connection within three minutes of 
pressing the connect button, the slate automatically turns off.

The AirLiner slate remains connected to your computer until you create a new 
wireless connection with another computer. Therefore, if you restart your computer 
or temporarily remove the Bluetooth USB adapter, the slate maintains its 
connection to your computer. You don’t need to press the Connect button on your 
AirLiner slate again. 

Only press the Connect button if you want to connect the AirLiner slate to a 
another computer. If you press the Connect button, you break the slate’s current 
connection to your computer, and you must create a new wireless connection by 
following steps 2 and 3 in the previous procedure.
