M133W User Guide4-14Replacing Hot Swappable BatteryThe tablet computer supports hot-swapping of batteries, meaning the tablet doesn’t need to be powered off in order to replace the mainbattery. To support such mechanism, there is a backup battery inside the tablet that is charged up with the main battery. This backup battery cannot be removed, and needs to have adequate power for hot swapping of main battery to be done without issue. When the backup battery is fully charged, it can sustain up to 5 minutes of runtime to allow for battery hot-swapping. Perform the following to hot swap the batteries:1. While the tablet is powered on, go to HotTab utility to check on the power level of the Backup battery.2. If the Backup battery level is at “Low”, please charge the tablet with AC Power until the Backup battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, and do not remove the main battery.3. If the Backup battery level is at “Medium” or “High”, continue to remove the main battery.4. Insert a new charged up removable battery into the battery compartment.5. Go to HotTab utility to check if Main battery level can be correctly read. If not, check if the new removable battery is inserted properly.6. If Main battery level can be read, continue to use the tablet computer.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement 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. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. 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. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C. This equipment should be installed and operated contact with the radiator & your body. FCC Specific Instructions (for UNII wz DFS) KDB443999 The FCC, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and industry are working to resolve interference to Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems used near airports that has occurred from some outdoor wireless systems operating in the 5470 MHz – 5725 MHz band. These wireless devices are subject to § 15.407 of our rules and when operating as a master device they are required to implement radar detection and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) functions. Devices intended for outdoor use will be further restricted, as follows:  Devices must be professionally installed when operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz band.  Any installation of either a master or a client device within 35 km of a TDWR location shall be separated by at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from the TDWR operating frequency (as shown in the TDWR location at http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx). This will require that channel 116 is not used in these locations.  The installers and the operators must register the devices in the industry-sponsored database with the appropriate information regarding the location and operation of the device and installer information. A voluntary Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) sponsored database has been developed that allows operators and installers to register the location information of the Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) devices operating outdoors in the 5470 - 5725 MHz band within 35 km of any TDWR location (see http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx). This database may be used by government agencies to expedite resolution of any interference to TDWRs.
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in cases of absence of information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signalling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology. High Power Radars: High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in the 5250MHz to 5350MHz and 5650MHz to 5850MHz bands. These radars could cause interference and/or damage to Wireless LAN devices used in Canada. Les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu'ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5 250 - 5 350 MHz et 5 650 - 5 850 MHz. Ces radars pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL. IC Radiation Exposure Statement This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in IC RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE 1528. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 0cm between the radiator & your body. This equipment should be installed and operated contact with the radiator & your body.
