Important safety information
Before you use the XC6 (referred to as the tablet), read these safety
instructions and the operation instructions in this handbook.
Failure to observe all these instructions voids the Limited Warranty and may lead to
suspension or denial of services to the offender, or legal action, or both.
Follow any special regulations governing the use of the tablet and, if radio-enabled, always
switch it off in areas where radio devices are forbidden or when the radio device can cause
interference or danger.
Always follow any safety laws and regulations pertaining to the use of cell phones and twoway radios, because these laws and regulations typically apply to the use of the wirelessenabled tablet.
Observe all restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and

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
ANON-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.

WARNING
Do not use any dock or any other accessory or attachment that is not manufactured or supplied
by Xplore or an authorized Xplore accessories supplier. Use of any accessory or attachment
that is not supplied or approved for use with the tablet by Xplore is not permitted because it
may cause hazards.
Operate the tablet only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. (See
page 48 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, if you maintain physical
contact with the tablet for a long time (for example, if you rest the tablet on your lap for a
long time), your skin may suffer low-heat injury. In addition, be careful when you remove
a PC card that has been used for a long time, because the card may be hot.

Suspending and resuming operation
For more information, see
“Checking battery power status”
on page 52.
To conserve battery power when you do not want to turn off the
computer or when you need to install a charged battery pack, put
the computer into Sleep mode. (You can suspend operation
without closing any programs or Windows.)
When you suspend operation:
Programs that are running stop (but do not close).
■
■
Active data is saved.
■
The system enters one of the following low-power modes:
• Sleep (Suspend-to-RAM) mode – The Status LED light is
breathing green. Active data is saved in RAM and most
other components are turned off.
Although the computer uses very little power when in
Sleep mode, eventually the battery’s power does run out.
If you do not plan to use the computer for an extended
period of time, turn the computer off or put it in
Hibernation mode instead of Sleep mode.
• Hibernation mode – Active data is saved on the SSD
and power usage is reduced to the same level as when
the computer is turned off. In Hibernation mode,
there is no danger of losing data if battery power is
lost.
Notes:
If you have set your computer to turn power off (in the Power Options
utility in Windows Control Panel), you cannot suspend operation. To
change power settings, see “Selecting Power (On/Off)/Backlight(On/
Off)/Sleep/ Resume button options” on page 55.
In the default configuration, the P3 key puts the computer in Sleep
mode and the Power button shuts down the computer. To change
these settings, see “Programming hot keys to perform pre-defined
functions” on page 65.
If your computer is connected to a network, the network may
automatically log you off after a period of inactivity while system
operation is suspended. Contact your help desk or system
administrator to learn your log-off time limit.

Connect an external power supply (such as the AC adapter) or
install a charged battery. See “Using the battery” on page 48.
• Internal components may be above or below the acceptable operating
range (below -20° C or above 60° C). After the temperature returns to
safe operating range the computer will start.
The computer will not resume
operation after being suspended.
• The battery may be defective or discharged to a critically low level.
When the battery reaches a critically low level, the computer is forced
into Sleep mode to avoid a total system power failure. Connect an
external power supply (such as the AC adapter) or install a charged
battery. See “Using the battery” on page 48.
• The computer may be at the critical thermal limit. To avoid damage to
heat-sensitive components, the computer enters Sleep mode when the
computer operates above 60° C. Operation automatically resumes
when the computer cools to below 60° C. Move the computer to a cooler
location.

RF exposure
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the
FCC with the tablet 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 tablet PC while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the tablet PC 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 tablet PC 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., on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
(Body-worn measurements may differ among tablet PC models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various tablet PCs and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
This device was evaluated and shown to comply with FCC SAR guidelines.
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 a
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
