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.

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. CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. RF exposure warning The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This Rugged Table PC 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. The exposure standard for wireless Rugged Table PC 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 using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the Rugged Table PC 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 Rugged Table PC while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the Rugged Table PC is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for US model Rugged Table PC as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.770 W/kg.

It is suggested that you use AC power when you start up the tablet PC first time. **Caution Use only the AC adapter included with your tablet PC. Using other AC adapters may damage the tablet PC. 1. Plug the DC cord of the AC adapter to the power connector of the tablet PC. 2. Plug the female end of the AC power cord to the AC adapter and the male end to the power electrical outlet. 3. When the AC adapter is connected, the Battery Pack is also under charging. You can check the Battery Status LED indicator to see the currently progress. The indicator turns to green when is fully charged. (For information on using battery power, see “Chapter 3 The Power Management”) **Caution 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 the tablet PC. When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord.

With the imposed reflective function, the modified LCD can reflect the ambient light passing the LCD cell and utilize the reflected light beams as its illumination. The stronger the ambient light is, the brighter the LCD will appear. As a result, the modified LCD is viewable under lighting conditions. The optimized angle of view is fourty-five degree. And the optimized distance of view is 30cm. Light Source **Caution Although transflective LCD is mainly used in outdoor environment and it may increase the reflective lights under sunlight, it is suggested that you should keep the LCD in appropriate temperature for operation and storage, and avoid direct sunlight if possible. To ensure the transflective LCD work stably, 0~50°C (32-121°F) operation and storage temperature is suitable.

Please contact with your dealer for appropriate power cord 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 pull out the cord. 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 is rechargeable using the AC adapter. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time. NOTE: 1. Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0 �C (32 �F). It is also recommended not to charge the battery when temperature is above 45 �C (113 �F) 2. To prevent damage, the charging process may stop and the Battery Charge Indicator flashes red when the environmental temperature gets above 55 �C (131�F) 3.2.3 Charging Approaches There is one way recommended to charge the battery pack. By connecting the AC adapter to the tablet PC and an electrical outlet, the Battery Charge Indicator on the tablet PC glowed orange to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the tablet PC power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green. CAUTION: 1 After the tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. The above-mentioned may damage the battery. 2 During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery.

The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the tablet PC. In Windows operating system, you can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function. To read the battery level in Windows, click the icon on the taskbar. (Click the icon if the tablet PC is using AC power.) 3.2.4 Battery Low Signals and Actions Battery Low occurs when the battery has approximately 10 % (Windows default setting) of its charge remaining. The tablet PC’s Battery Charge Indicator ( ) blinks red to alert you take actions. NOTICE: You can set up the Battery Low threshold and signals under Windows. Immediately save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating time depends on how you are using the tablet PC. If you are using the audio subsystem, hard or USB flash disk, the battery might run out of charge very quickly. CAUTION: 1. If you do not take any action, the tablet PC will automatically hibernate and turn off. 2. If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out of charge, then you will lose your data. 3.3 Power Management The Tablet PC supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving. With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows XP, power supply to different tablet PC components is controlled on an as-needed basis. This allows maximum power conservation and performance at the same time. In general, Windows’ power management works in following state:
