EMC and Safety Notice

FCC Regulations:

This mobile device complies with part 15 of th e FCC Rules. Operation is su bject to

z

the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

This mobile device complies with part 15 of th e FCC Rules. Operation is su bject to

z

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.

This mobile device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class

z

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 radiated 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.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Information (SAR) for GSM Function

4

This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device 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 devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is

*

1.6W/kg.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted
by the FCC with the device 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 device while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the device 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 the model device as reported to the FCC when tested for
use at the ear is 0.46 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.092 W/kg for PCS Body SAR and 0.04 W/kg for WLAN Body SAR.

(Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available
enhancements and FCC requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
searching on FCC ID: IR5DA04IM.

For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the
handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset a minimum of

1.5 cm from your body when the device is switched on.

after

Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference
Statement

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to
radio communications. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a
commercial or residential environment.

Countermeasures if interference occurs

You are encouraged to do the following if interference occurs while you are
operating the device:

1. Turn OFF the unit and unplug the AC adapter from the outlet to see if the
interference disappears.

2. Connect the AC adapter to the outlet in another room and check if the
interference still exists.

3. Use an outlet that is far away from the interfered appliance.

4. Re-orient your computer in respect to the interfered appliance to see if there
is improvement.

If all of these failed, please call your dealer for help.

Operating Environment and Ruggedness

A clean and moisture-free environment is preferred.
If it is necessary to work in a hostile environ ment, please make sure all ports are well
protected from dust, moisture, or water. Proper isolation from extreme hazardous
exposure is recommended.
The computer is designed with rugged features of vibration, shock, dust, and rain/water
protection. However, it is still necessary to provide appropriate protection while
exposing to harsh environments.
All connectors will decay or corrode if exposed to water or moisture. Corrosion is
accelerated if the power is ON. Please take proper water-resistant measures for cable
connections.
The DC jack is sealed type which may be operated with water splashing while DC power
cord attached. All other port caps should be in place when no cable is attached.
Regularly maintain the computer by cleaning dust, water, etc. will help keeping it in
optimal condition.

Warning: There is no isolated compartment in SD slot, PCMCIA slot, and docking.

These ports must be tightly sealed while working with dust/water.

Components and Functions

COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS

AC adapter

When using the AC adapter:

Use a properly grounded AC outlet.

•

Use one AC outlet exclusively for the computer. Having other appliances on

•

the same line may cause interference.
Use a power strip with built-in surg e protection.

•

The AC adapter automatically detects the AC line voltage (110V or 220V) and
adjusts accordingly.

Battery

The computer will automatically switch to battery power when the ex ternal power
source (AC adapter) is disconnected.

Battery Power Saving Tips

•

•

Turn OFF the LCD backlight when it is visible with external light
Lower the intensity of the backlight

14

Components and Functions

•

Battery Low

When the battery is nearly exhausted, the computer prompts a window warning it.
Once the Battery Low warning occurs, please do either or all of the following:

1. Save and close the files you are currently working on

2. Plug in the AC adapter to recharge the battery

3. Swap a charged battery

Shut down the computer when not to use for a longer time

Optional Devices

Note: Not all options are available on all models.

Backup Data

There are two types memory on the computer: Temporary memory RAM (Random
Access Memory) and permanent memory ROM (Read Only Memory). Optional
memory cards act like ROM.
Most data of ongoing program are stored in RAM. It would stay intact when power
turns OFF. (Actually pressing power button OFF/ON is “suspend/resume” only. Part
of the computer is still running, power supply to memory is always ON.)
However, data or program in RAM will be lost when hard ware reset or master switch
turns OFF. And if primary battery been removed for too long time (for example,
swap battery for >1 minutes), there are risks to lose RAM data as back up battery
may run exhausted. Long time storage will drain primary and backup battery to
exhaust thus unable to keep memory data.
