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 54 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.

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.       iX104C5 User’s Handbook       11

          E           Agency Notices  FCC notices 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. Modifications not expressly approved by Xplore Technologies could void this user’s authority to operate the equipment.  Note:  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.  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.       iX104C5 User’s Handbook       111
  Appendix E. Agency Notices       Before a tablet PC model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and IC 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., next to body/lap) as required by the FCC for each model. (next to body/lap measurements may differ among tablet PC models, depending upon available accessories and FCC and IC requirements).  ”While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various tablet PCs and at various positions, they are all required to meet the government regulations for safe exposure. This device was evaluated and shown to comply with FCC and IC SAR RF exposure requirements. Avoid covering or holding antennas when transmitting. Antenna locations are shown in the following figure.  Antennas      Bluetooth antenna      Health and Safety Information  Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Your wireless tablet PC is a radio transmitter and receiver.

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    112    iX104C5 User’s Handbook
  Appendix E. Agency Notices       ■  ■       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 public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. In Europe the SAR limit for mobile tablet PCs used by the public is 2.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations.
