Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
After you complete any replacement procedure, ensure you connect any external devices, cards, and cables before turning on your computer. CAUTION: To avoid damage to the computer, use only the battery designed for this particular Dell computer. Do not use batteries designed for other Dell computers.
The Dell Latitude ST is built to be thin and light to match the mobility needs of executives, sales managers, doctors, and students alike. This allows the product to function as a primary system during short business trips, sales calls, etc. It was designed from the ground up to be managed similarly to how notebooks, desktops and workstations are managed today.
The Latitude ST uses a specifically designed electrostatic pen or stylus for use in tablet PC mode. Instead of relying on battery power, the energy source for the stylus is magnetic energy produced by the excitation coil built into the digitizer itself.
To remove the pen tip, hold the pen tip and pull it out from the stylus. Install a new pen tip on the stylus pen head. Electronic Pen Usage The Latitude ST uses several input devices. The standard external USB keyboard and mouse are present, plus you can opt for the electrostatic pen or just use your finger as an input device.
Tablet PC Input Panel When an application does not directly support pen input, you can use the Tablet PC Input Panel to enter text into your application. If you tap in an editable area, the Tablet PC Input Panel icon appears. Tapping the icon makes the Input Panel slide out from the edge of the display.
Icon Name Function Touch The touch keyboard is like a standard keyboard, but you enter text by tapping the keys keyboard with your tablet pen or finger. The writing pad and the character pad have a number pad, a symbol pad, and web quick keys to help you quickly and accurately enter these types of text.
Touch Usage One of the key advantages of the Tablet PC is the ability to easily switch from pen input to touch input. When you use Touch Mode , a translucent image of a computer mouse, called the touch pointer, floats beneath your finger.
Docking Station The docking station is designed for Latitude ST. The docking station can be purchased separately from dell.com. For more information, see the docking station setup guide available on support.dell.com.

Troubleshooting Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment (ePSA) The ePSA is a diagnostic utility available on your computer. This utility includes a series of tests for a computer's hardware. You can run these tests even if the computer lacks any media (hard drive, CD drive, etc.). If a ePSA-tested component fails, the system displays an error code and generates a beep code.
Page 56
The computer will start up and begin running the ePSA utility automatically. During the testing process, you will be prompted to answer a YES or NO question. To respond, press Volume Up = YES or Volume Down = NO. Press the Security Button (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to click OK once the tests are completed. The volume up and down buttons can also be used as the Tab key when switching between options.
Beep Codes The computer may emit a series of beeps during start-up if the display cannot show errors or problems. These series of beeps, called beep codes, identify various problems. The delay between each beep is 300 ms, the delay between each set of beeps is 3 seconds, and the beep sound lasts 300 ms.
