Cause

1. Charging and Turning on the Dell Latitude 7275 Tablet

Note: Because the battery may have discharged during shipping, it may be necessary to charge the battery before starting up the tablet.

The USB-C connector on the Dell Latitude 7275 can support data transfer or AC power but not both at the same time. When it is connected to a USB port on a computer, it automatically switches to data transfer mode and will not charge the battery. To charge the device, always use the AC power adapter with the USB-to-USB-C cable supplied with the device. The USB-C connector is located close to the bottom on the left-hand edge (when held horizontally with the webcam at the top).

LED status What it means
Solid White The battery is charging.
Solid Amber The battery is at low level with the tablet on or in a connected standby state - the screen is off but the tablet is still turned on.
Off The battery is not charging or the battery is fully charged.
Flashing Amber The battery is at a critical level and does not have enough charge to power on. If the power button is pressed during this state, the LED will turn on for 3 seconds and then turn off. Continue charging the tablet.

Normally, the battery will require about 4 hours to fully charge. The charge status can be checked from within the operating system.

To turn the tablet on, hold the tablet horizontally with the webcam at the top, then press and hold the power button located along the right-hand edge close to the top, for three to five seconds.

Caution: Charge the battery in an ambient temperature of 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) to 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). Use only the power adapter provided for charging the tablet. Using other power adapters or micro-USB cables may cause damage to your tablet.

2. Getting started with the Dell Latitude 7275 Tablet

  1. Locate the AC adapter and the USB-to-USB-C cable that came with the tablet. Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet and plug the USB-C connector into the port located close to the bottom on the left-hand edge. Because the battery may have discharged during shipping, it may be necessary to charge the battery before starting up the tablet.

    To turn the tablet on, hold the tablet horizontally with the webcam at the top, then press and hold the power button located along the right-hand edge close to the top, for three to five seconds. It will take a few seconds for Windows to launch.

If you have access to your router and it supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) follow the instructions to connect using WPS.
  5. On the next screen, you may choose whether to use the Express Settings which will simplify setup, or you can choose to Customize Settings, if you have experience using Windows 10.
  6. The next screen lets you set up your Windows account. If you already have a Windows account, enter your email address and password. You will be asked to enter a verification code sent to that email account. If you do not have a Windows account, you can set one up starting from this screen.
