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.

VII

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.

Getting Started

Workplace

A clean and moisture-free environment is preferred. Make room for air circulation.
Remember to avoid areas from:

 Sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
 Extreme heat.
 Strong electromagnetic fields (Near television set, motor rotation area, etc.).
 Dust or high humidity.

If this tablet computer is required to work in a hostile environment, please maintain your
tablet computer regularly by cleaning dust, water, and etc. to keep it in an optimal operating
condition.

Environmental Ratings

Operating Temperature: I: 0 ~ 40 ºC (32 ~ 104 ºF)
M: -20 ~ 50 ºC (-4 ~ 122 ºF)

Storage Temperature: -40 ~ 70ºC (-40 ~ 158ºF)
Humidity: Operating/Storage: 5~95% (non-condensing)
Altitude: Operating/Storage: 4572 /12,180 meters (15,000/ 40,000 feet)

Chapter One - 2

Getting Started

Ruggedness

The computer is designed with rugged features such as vibration, shock, dust, and
rain/water protection. However, it is still necessary to provide appropriate protection while
operating in harsh environments.
NEVER immerse the computer in water. Doing so may cause permanent damages. Drop
may cause parts break or permanent damages.
The D-sub connector cap is for dust and shock protection only. The connector itself is
sealed internally. Other I/O ports and devices must have caps tightly closed or cable inlets
sealed while exposed to water or dust.
All connectors will corrode if exposed to water or moisture. Corrosion is accelerated if the
power is ON. Please take proper measures in cable connection to avoid water entering into
connectors.
The DC jack and cables are sealed and may be operated with water splashing while
attached. All port covers should be in place when no cable is attached.
