FOR USA

FOR USAFOR USA

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.

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

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.

RF exposure warning The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

RF exposure information (SAR) This Mobile Computer meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This Mobile Computer 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. The exposure standard for wireless Mobile Computers employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the Mobile Computer 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 Mobile Computer while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the Mobile Computer is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for US model Mobile Computers as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.965 W/kg. The highest SAR value for US model Mobile Computers as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the head, as described in this user guide, is 0.216 W/kg.

The main and backup batteries may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the package, you will need to charge the main battery to full before using the mobile computer.

Because the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery, the initial charging requires inserting the battery pack to the mobile computer and then connecting the mobile computer for direct charging. This will have both the main and backup batteries charged at the same time.



Main Battery

The mobile computer is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/2200 mAh Li-ion battery pack, and it takes approx. 4.5 hours to charge it to full from the power adaptor or approx. 6 hours from the USB cable (at 500 mA). However, the charging time may vary by working condition.



Backup Battery

The backup battery on the main board takes charge when the main battery is removed or drained out. It can supply power to the real-time clock (RTC) for at least 5 minutes and help retain data in RAM and maintain the system running in suspend mode without the main battery. However, you have to replace the main battery as soon as possible.

Warning: The battery cover must be in position. If not, the mobile computer cannot turn on by pressing [Power] or wake up by pressing [Scan], and the red LED indicator will flash twice to alert. For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a spare battery pack, especially when you are on the road.

The battery pack is the only power source for the mobile computer to work. It also charges the backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in RAM can be retained properly. Therefore, when the main battery charge goes low, you need to replace the battery pack with a charged one or charge it as soon as possible. Most of all, you should backup important data on a regular basis.

By looking at the battery icon, you can tell battery charge remaining in the main battery – the more the white bars, the more power in the main battery. Tap the top of the screen to invoke the title bar pull-down list, and then tap the battery icon to quickly access the Power Settings. Refer to 2.1.3 Title Bar Pull-down List.

Alternatively, you may go to Start | Settings, and tap Power.
