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

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
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.
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
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 Suspend 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:
· Suspend-to-RAM mode – The Status LED light is
continuously yellow. Active data is saved in RAM and most
other components are turned off.
Although the computer uses very little power when in
Suspend-to-RAM 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 using Suspend-to-RAM.
· Hibernation mode – Active data is saved on the hard disk 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.
Note: For more information, see “Using power options – Windows
XP” on page 58 or “Using power options – Windows 7” on page 62.
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 “Using power options – Windows XP” on
page 58 or “Using power options – Windows 7” on page 62.

your help desk or your iX104C5 dealer.
If your computer is connected to a network, the network may
automatically log you off after a period of inactivity while system

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 54.
· 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 Suspend- to-RAM 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 54.
· The computer may be at the critical thermal limit. To avoid damage
to heat-sensitive components, the computer enters Suspend-toRAM 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.

Problem
Possible cause and solution
Display screen is blank or difficult to

· Confirm that the computer is on (the Power icon is displayed
continuously in the Status area).
· The brightness may be set too low, causing the screen to appear too
dark. To change system brightness, press the Fn and Start keys to
open the Xplore menu and adjust the brightness. (See page 30.)
· An external monitor may be selected. Press the Fn and P1 keys to
select the computer display screen. (See page 30.)
· The video time-out may have expired. Tap the display screen to
reactivate the display.
Note: This is a normal, power-saving feature.
· If the Status light is blinking red, the computer is in Suspend-to-RAM
mode because the temperature is below -20° C or above 60° C.
When the temperature returns to a safe operating range, the display
screen automatically comes back on. If possible, move the computer
to a warmer or cooler location.
· If the Status light is continually yellow, the computer is in Suspend or
Hibernate mode. Press the Power On/Off key to resume.
Cursor is not tracking the pen.
Calibrate the pen. See “Calibrating the digitizer” on page 85.
Computer is not responding to the pen.
Connect an external USB keyboard to the computer. If the computer
does not respond to the external keyboard, the application or
operating system may have been corrupted. Press the Reset key.
(See page 32.) If the system responds to a keyboard but not to the
pen, contact your local help desk or reseller for further assistance.
Headphone or speaker volume is too
low.
· The volume may be in Mute mode or set too low. Follow the
instructions in “Adjusting headphone or speaker volume – Windows

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.

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.
