Important Information

Before you use the XSLATE R12 (referred to as the tablet), read these safety instructions and the
operation instructions in this guide.
Failure to observe all these instructions voids the Limited Warranty and may lead to suspension or
denial of services to the offender, or legal action, or both.
Follow any special regulations governing the use of the tablet and, if radio-enabled, always switch it off
in areas where radio devices are forbidden or when the radio device can cause interference or danger.
Always follow any safety laws and regulations pertaining to the use of cell phones and two way radios,
because these laws and regulations typically apply to the use of the wireless enabled tablet.
Observe all restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants, and wherever blasting operations are in progress or in any area in which
restrictions on radio transmissions are imposed. When flying in an aircraft, turn off the tablet PC prior
to take-off and landing. As of this writing, the FAA has approved the use of personal electronic devices
on commercial aircraft when flying above 10,000ft (3,048m). The tablet PC should only be turned on
only when directed by the flight crew members as FAA regulations are subject to change.
Operating the wireless-enabled tablet may interfere with the functioning of inadequately protected
medical devices such as pacemakers. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if
you have any questions.
Radio signals from your tablet will not affect the operation of most modern equipment, but certain
electronic equipment, including automotive systems, may not be shielded against radio signals from
your tablet. Check with the manufacturer of your motor vehicle or the manufacturer's representative to
determine whether using the tablet will present any safety issues.
Avoid using the tablet in any environment that requires your full attention, such as when driving a
vehicle. If you need to use your tablet while driving, have a passenger use it for you or find a safe
location to halt your vehicle.
WARNING: Use tablet only within the following environments:

Ambient temperatures between -25°C to 40°C.

A pressure of 80 kPa (0.8 bar) to 110 kPa (1.1 bar)
WARNING: Use only battery types specified in this guide. Using any other type of battery can be
dangerous and can disable the tablet. Do not drop or mishandle the batteries, immerse them in water,
or subject them to high heat. Doing so could increase the risk of explosion or leakage, and possibly
cause injury. The lithium-ion batteries used in this equipment contain material that is hazardous to
your health. If battery contents come in contact with the eyes, IMMEDIATELY flush the affected area
