Cabling and Power Cord Precautions
■
Power cord sets for use in other countries must meet the requirements of that
country. Use the appropriate AC adapter and power cord for your locale. For
information about power cord set requirements, contact the Motion Reseller from
whom you purchased the product, or contact Motion Computing if you purchased
the product from us.
■
If no power cord was provided for your Tablet PC or for an accessory, purchase a
power cord that is approved for use in your country and that matches the required
voltage / amperage rating of the Tablet PC.
English
■
If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
■
When using your power cord, make sure to position it around objects so it will
not be cut or punctured.
Power Adapter Precautions
■
Use only the AC adapter and power cord approved for this Tablet PC or Tablet
PC accessory. Use of another type of AC adapter may risk fire or explosion.
■
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as on a desktop or the floor, when
you use it to run the Tablet PC or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC
adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the
AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.
■
Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapter's power cable and that the cable is
not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
■
When using your power cord, make sure to position it around objects so it will
not be cut or punctured.
■
Disconnect power cords and cables by grasping the connector, not by pulling on
the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. Before you connect a cable, make sure both
connectors are correctly aligned.
Battery Pack Warnings and Precautions
■
The Tablet PC contains an internal lithium ion (Li-ion) battery pack. Replace the
