FCC Compliance Statement
15.105 Class B digital device or
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 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.
To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment. (Example: use only shielded interface cables when
connecting to computer or peripheral devices).

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.
15.21
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the authority to operate equipment.
This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
End-users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and
transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated.
Selection of other channels is not possible.

Battery Safety
Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same type recommended by the manufacturer, discard used batteries according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
Attention : Danger d'explosion si la batterie est inexactement remplacée. Remplacez
seulement avec la même chose ou le type recommandé par le fabricant, jettent les
batteries utilisées instructions de s selon fabricant des'.
Mistreat the battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn.
Do not attempt to disassemble the computer or its accessories.
Only qualified personal is allowed to replace the battery.
Do not dispose batteries in a fire and check with local authorities for disposal
instructions.
AIM 10W can only be equipped with standard battery pack with Getac AIM-BAT-10
2300mAH Polymer Lithium Ion Battery. Use of another battery may present a risk of
fire or explosion.
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging
the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is more efficient at normal room
temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the
stated range of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could
damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.
Storage and Safety Notice
Although charge Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their
capacity may be depleted due to the buildup of internal resistance. If this happens
they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium Ion batteries may be stored at
temperatures between -10°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly
at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store AIM 10W within normal
room temperature ranges.T-W101 User Manual

5.4 ENERGY STAR
An ENERGY STAR qualified computer delivers substantial savings over a conventional
computer. Desktop, integrated desktop, and notebook (laptop) computers,
workstations, small-scale servers, and thin clients are all eligible to earn the
ENERGY STAR, and those that do are now more efficient than ever.
It is an honor for Advantech to provide you such products.
What is ENERGY STAR?
ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) voluntary program
that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect our climate through
superior energy efficiency.
The ENERGY STAR program was established by EPA in 1992, under the authority of
the Clean Air Act Section 103(g). Section103(g) of the Clean Air Act directs the
Administrator to "conduct a basic engineering research and technology program to
develop, evaluate, and demonstrate non–regulatory strategies and technologies for
reducing air pollution."
In 2005, Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act. Section 131 of the Act amends
Section 324 (42 USC 6294) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and
"established at the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency
a voluntary program to identify and promote energy–efficient products and buildings
in order to reduce energy consumption, improve energy security, and reduce
pollution through voluntary labeling of or other forms of communication about
products and buildings that meet the highest energy efficiency standards."
