Radiation Exposure Statement

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This 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 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 EUT transmitting at the
specified power level in different channels.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information
on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/eot/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:IR5DE13

Regulatory Information/Disclaimers

Installation and use of this computer must be in strict accordance with the instructions
included in the user documentation provided with the product. Any changes or
modifications (including the antennas) made to this device that are not expressly approved
by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by
unauthorized modification of this device, or the substitution of the connecting cables and
equipment other than manufacturer specified. It is the responsibility of the user to correct
any interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment.
Manufacturer and its authorized resellers or distributors will assume no liability for any
damage or violation of government regulations arising from failing to comply with these
guidelines.

II

FCC (Federal Communications Commission) regulatory compliance

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.

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.

Important:
Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by MilDef could void the
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and wireless compliance and negate your authority to
operate the product.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, compliant peripheral devices and
shielded cables must be used with this equipment.

Warning

Before any upgrade procedures, make sure the power is turned off, and all the
cables are disconnected (including telephone lines). Also, it is advisable to
remove your battery to prevent your tablet computer from accidentally turning on.

Power Conservation

This tablet computer consumes less power compared to conventional consumer computers.
The power consumption may be further reduced by properly configuring the Power
Management Setup.

It is recommended that the power saving features be enabled even when not running on
battery power. Power Management features can conserve power without degrading system
performance.

Power Safety

There are specific power requirements for your tablet computer:

 Only use an approved AC adapter designed for this tablet computer.
 There is a 3-prong grounded plug for the AC adapter. The 3rd prong is an important

mechanism for ensuring product safety. Please do not neglect the importance of this
mechanism. If you are unable to access a compatible outlet, please hire a qualified
electrician to install a compatible outlet for you.

 When unplugging the AC power cord, please make sure to disconnect the cord by

pulling from the plug head instead of pulling from the wire to prevent wire damage.

 Make sure the power outlet and any other extension cord(s) you use can support the

total current load of all the connected devices.

 Before cleaning the tablet computer, please make sure it is disconnected from any

external power source.

Battery Disposal & Caution

The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The
battery is recyclable. At the end of its service life, under various state and
local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste
stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for
recycling options or proper disposal. Danger of explosion may possibly occur,
if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or the
equivalent battery recommended by the manufacturer. Discard the used
battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Battery Precautions

 Only use batteries designed for this tablet computer. Using incompatible battery types

may cause explosion, leakage or damage to the computer.

 Do not remove the battery from the computer while the computer is powered on.
 Do not continuously use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged

(e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer is able to continuously work with
a damaged battery, the circuit damage may occur and possibly cause fire.

 Always use the charger designed for this computer to recharge the battery. Incorrect

recharging may cause the battery to explode.

 Do not try to service a battery by yourself. For battery service or replacement, please

contact your service representatives.

 Please dispose of damaged battery promptly and carefully. Explosion or leakage may

occur, if the battery is exposed to fire, improperly handled or discarded.

Notice:

For safety, charging will stop if the internal temperature of the battery is out of range(<0°C;
>50°C). Please note that charging could have stopped before the ambient temperature
reaching these boundaries because the internal temperature of the battery does not equal
to the ambient temperature.

VI

Water Resistance

DE13 has a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 1 meters up to 30
minutes) and was tested under controlled laboratory conditions. Although it has excellent
protection, please do not use it as a diving equipment. Splash, water, and dust resistance
are not permanent conditions when using the product continuously in extreme
environments and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Also, please do
not disassemble any part of your device because it might damage the resistance of your
device.

Environmental Information, Material Safety & Recycling

All materials used in the manufacturing of this equipment are recyclable or environmentally
friendly. Please recycle the packing materials in accordance with local regulations at the
end of the product's service life.

Notice:

 The equipment may contain insignificant amount of hazardous substances for health

and environment below control level.

 To avoid spreading such substances into the eco system and to minimize the pressure

on the natural environment, you are encouraged to reuse or recycle most of the
materials in a safe way after the product’s service life.

 For more information on collection, reuse and recycle of materials, please consult local

or regional waste administrations for more information. You can also contact your
dealer for more information on the environmental details of the equipment.

 The symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the product

(electrical and electronic equipment) should not be placed in municipal
waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
