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 BATTERIES Use only battery types specified in this handbook. 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 with clean water for 15 minutes and have someone else summon medical attention for you. Unaffected persons should assist the affected individual in the vital first flushing of the eyes. RECHARGING THE BATTERY MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT IN A NON‐ HAZERDOUS AREA USING THE SUPPLIED AC ADAPTOR. The definition of hazardous areas can be found in Standard EN 60079‐10. WARNING When operating the tablet in a known explosive environment do not remove or replace the battery while the circuit is live. Before removing the battery verify that the area is known to be free of ignitable concentrations of flammable substances.

Operate the tablet only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. (See page 54 for more information about the battery and power supply.) Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs and convenience receptacles, and at the point where cords exit from the tablet or its dock. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles because this can cause fire or electric shock. Unplug the tablet and refer the tablet and dock for service to qualified service personnel if any of the following conditions occur: The power supply cord or plug is damaged. The tablet or dock does not operate normally when you follow the instructions in this book. The tablet or dock exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only controls for which there are instructions in this book. An improper adjustment of other controls can result in damage and may require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the tablet or dock to normal operation. CAUTION Avoid prolonged physical contact with the exposed metal surfaces on the front and back of the tablet. While the tablet may not feel hot to the touch, prolonged physical contact with the tablet surface may cause low‐heat injury.

Agency Notes FCC Notices This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules .Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Modifications not expressly approved by Xplore Technologies could void this user’s authority to operate the equipment. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. WLAN: (Wi-Fi) Please note that 5150‐5250MHz (Ch. 36‐48) is restricted to indoor‐use only in many countries including the United States.

Before a tablet PC model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and IC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government‐adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., next to body/lap) as required by the FCC for each model. (Next to body/lap measurements may differ among tablet PC models, depending upon available accessories and FCC and IC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various tablet PCs and at various positions, they are all required to meet the government regulations for safe exposure. This device was evaluated and shown to comply with FCC and IC SAR RF exposure requirements. Avoid covering or holding antennas when transmitting. Antenna locations are shown in the following figure.

Health and Safety Information Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Your wireless tablet PC is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and Manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government as well as the RTT&E directive. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1‐1992 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986 International Commission on Non‐Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996 Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. European Union RTT&E Directive for SAR The exposure standard for wireless mobile tablet PCs employs a unit of Measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. The SAR limit set by the RTT&E is 2.0W/kg. Note: In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile tablet PCs used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. In Europe the SAR limit for mobile tablet PCs used by the public is 2.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations. DOC (Industry Canada Notices) ...
