extended International Limited Warranty is available. Check the service kit included
with your computer for warranty terms and conditions.
iX104C5 User’s Handbook
Important safety information
Before you use the iX104C5 (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
two-way radios, because these laws and regulations typically apply to the use of the
wireless-enabled tablet.
Observe all restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants, and wherever blasting operations are in progress or
in any area in which restrictions on radio transmissions are imposed.
Switch off the tablet when in an aircraft. The tablet is not FAA-approved for use on
aircraft. The effect of the use of the tablet in aircraft is unknown. Using the tablet in an
aircraft may affect aircraft instrumentation, communication, and performance; may
disrupt the network; and may be illegal.
Operating the wireless-enabled tablet may interfere with the functioning of
inadequately protected medical devices such as pacemakers. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device if you have any questions.
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.

iX104C5 User’s Handbook
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.
10
iX104C5 User’s Handbook
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
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.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible cause and solution
Computer will not start.
• The battery may be defective or discharged to a critically low level.
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.
The Status LED is red, continuous.
• The computer is on, running under battery power, and the charge
level in the battery has reached a critical level. Plug the computer
into an AC/DC power source or install a charged battery.
• The system has encountered a fault and is preventing normal
operation. Contact your local help desk.
The Status LED is red, blinking.

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.

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 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., worn 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.

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 1 gram of tissue. In Europe the
SAR limit for mobile table 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.
