6 iX104C2 User’s HandbookImportant safety informationBefore you use the iX104C2 Tablet PC or iX104C2 Dual Mode (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.
iX104C2 User’s Handbook 7WARNINGUse only battery types specified in this handbook. Using any other type of battery can be dangerous and can disable the tablet.WARNINGDo 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 56 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.CAUTIONAvoid 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.aa

Chapter 2. Using the iX104C2Suspending and resuming operation38 iX104C2 User’s HandbookSuspending and resuming operationTo 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 will not be using the computer for an extended period of time, turn the computer off instead of using Suspend-to-RAM mode.• 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.NoteFor more information, see “Using power options” on page 61.
Chapter 2. Using the iX104C2Suspending and resuming operationiX104C2 User’s Handbook 39NotesIf you have set your computer to turn power off (in the Power Options utility in Windows Control Panel), you cannot suspend operation.

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.
Appendix E. Agency Notices110 iX104C2 User’s HandbookRF eposure 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., 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. 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.antenna locations
Appendix E. Agency NoticesiX104C2 User’s Handbook 111Health and Safety InformationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsYour 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. 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.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 .NoteIn 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. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in.
