HP Slate 21 Pro-All-in-One-PC - Manual (Page 12)

Slate mode
In Slate mode, the all-in-one is a commercial Android device with access to over 700,000 apps, cloud
computing, and Internet access.
Slate mode requires only a power connection. For Internet or network access, you must also have a
wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) connection (Refer to
Connecting to networks on page 17 for
more information).
HDMI mode
In HDMI mode, the all-in-one is a standard monitor when connected to an HDMI device such as a PC,
camera, or DVD player.
HDMI mode requires a power connection and an HDMI device connection. If the all-in-one is
connected to a PC, you must also have a USB upstream cable (included) connected between the
USB upstream port on the all-in-one and a USB downstream port on the PC for touch functionality.
Switching between Slate and HDMI modes
To switch between modes, press the Source button on the front panel. After pressing the Source
button, a Mode Switch Request screen will pop up. To continue the mode switch, press the Source
button again before the Mode Switch Request screen times out. If you want to cancel the mode
switch, press the Volume down button. If you do not press one of the two buttons, the mode switch is
automatically cancelled when the Mode Switch Request screen times out.
CAUTION: The Mode Switch Request screen is warning you that you must complete any file save
or data transfer currently in progress before switching modes. If you have a storage device such as a
flash drive or external hard drive connected to one of the rear USB ports on the all-in-one, you must
complete any data transfer and save and close any open data files on the storage device before
switching modes. Otherwise, the switch will result in data loss and/or corrupted data files.
NOTE: If the HDMI source is disconnected, the all-in-one will automatically go to sleep. If you want
the all-in-one to automatically switch to Slate mode instead of going to sleep, you can change the
settings in the OSD. While in HDMI mode, press the Menu button to open the OSD, and then go to
Management > Auto-Switch Input and select On.
