Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make
connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic
components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag
when they are not in the chassis

3.1 About AC Adapter
Our Tablet PC support one set of AC adapter and power code by
country area. Please confirm with your dealer for appropriate power
code if necessary.
**Caution
1. When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the
electrical outlet first and then from the tablet PC. A reverse
procedure may damage the AC adapter or tablet PC.
2. Always hold the plug head when you unplug the connector, Never

3. The AC adapter is designed for use with your tablet PC only.
Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the
adapter.
The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC.
The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to
DC (Direct Current) power because the tablet PC runs on DC power
input, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also
charges the battery pack when connected to AC power.

tablet PC. If you are using the audio subsystem, PC card, hard or
USB flash disk, the battery might run out of charge very quickly.
2. Always respond to Battery Low by placing your tablet PC on the
Standby or Hibernation mode, turning off the tablet PC, or
connecting the AC adapter.
CAUTION:
1. If you do not take any action, the tablet PC will automatically
hibernate and turn off.
2. If you are using a PC card, do not access the card during battery
low periods. The access may takes longer time than battery to
run out of charge, thus making your access to the card fail.
3. If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out
of charge, then you will lose your data.

Power-Saving Tips
The following are some Power-Saving Tips suggestions to
maximize the battery’s operating time.
Do not disable Power Management.
Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.
USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB
mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using
the optional touchscreen pen.
If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.
If you work with an application that uses a PC card, exit the
application when you finish using it.
If you have a PC card installed, remove it when not in use. Some PC
cards drain power even while they are inactive.
Deactivate the Wireless LAN function if you are not using it (see
Chapter 2).
Deactivate the Bluetooth wireless feature if you are not using it (see
Chapter 2)
Turn off the tablet PC when you are not using it.

FCC regulatory statements, notices and warning
IMPOTANT SAR INFORMATION
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the FCC of USA. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by
the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. *
Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC 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., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The
highest SAR value for this model phone when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 0.529 W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of
FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact
your local dealer for replacement antenna.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
FCC Part 15 Notice

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, 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 and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
. Relocate this device
. Increase the separation between the device and the receiver
. Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit different from that of other electronics.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
Important Note: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirement, the
antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other transmitter.
Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
