Important User Information

Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.ab.com/manuals/gi) describes some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.

No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this manual.

Statement of Compliance

Information to User

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the R&TTE Directive as follows:

For units with Cisco Air-LMC 340 Series radios

Radio: ETS 300.328 EMC: ETS 300.826 Safety: EN 60950

For units with Cisco Air-LMC 350 Series radios

Radio: EN 300.328-1, EN 300.328-2 EMC: EN 301.489-1, EN 301-489-17 Safety: EN 60950

This type of accepted equipment is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the installation instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Publication 2727-UM001D-EN-P - March 2004

Preface 5

PCMIA Card Radio Module Safety Information

FCC Approval

The FCC with its action in the ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The Cisco/Aironet 350 Series products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C-95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual results in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits.

ATTENTION

• Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit

is transmitting or receiving.

• Do not hold any component containing the radio

so that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

• Do not operate radio or attempt to transmit data

unless the antenna is connected; if the antenna is not connected, the radio may be damaged.

Rockwell Automation Support

WARNING

Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.

Warning to Handheld Computer Users

To comply with the FCC RF exposure limits, it is recommended when using a handheld computer with an integrated RF transmitter and antenna, that the antenna should not be positioned closer than 5 cm (2 in) from your body or nearby persons for extended periods of time while it is in the transmitting mode (or operating). If the antenna is positioned less than 5 cm (2 in) from the user, it is recommended that the user limit exposure time.

RF Network Configuration

IP Address Configuration

The internal Cisco wireless LAN adapter is preconfigured to obtain an IP address via DHCP. If a specified IP address is desired, perform the following steps.

Remote Communication

Your network configuration affects how you remotely communicate with an internet, intranet, or between two or more MobileView Tablets. Since there are a variety of possible network configurations, we recommend you contact your network administrator or internet service provider (ISP) to help set up remote communications. The network administrator or ISP should be able to provide the necessary configuration information, such as the network configuration settings, the network architecture, and an IP address for the Tablet (if needed with your installation).

The following is an example of a remote communication setup, using a radio frequency (RF) network interface card, installed inside the MobileView Tablet. This installation also requires a properly configured access point for the RF signal.

Example of an RF Network Configuration

1. Tap on the Start button and select Settings, Control Panel from

the menu.

2. Double-tap on the Network icon.

3. Tap the Adapters tab in the Network Configuration dialog box.

Stylus

The stylus is used to input data and execute functions by touching the screen. An audible click occurs when the screen is touched. The following operations can be performed with the stylus:

• Tap: one quick touch of the stylus to the screen. A tap is used to

press an on-screen button, select a menu item, press a key on the keyboard, and other similar operations.

• Right Mouse Click: press and hold the stylus on the screen for

more than one second. This simulates a right mouse click.

• Double-tap: two taps on the screen, in quick succession.

Double-tapping is used on icons to display a window and with certain application operations.

• Drag: pressing the stylus lightly on the screen and moving it

across the screen. Dragging is used for gestures and to move small windows. Most applications will fill the entire screen and they cannot be sized or moved. Smaller windows, such as the Keyboard, can be moved by holding the stylus on the title bar of the Window and dragging it to a different location.

• Writing or drawing: the stylus can be used to write or draw on

the screen. See ScreenDraw Mode on page 3-9 for more information. Handwriting can also be used with CalliGrapher’s handwriting recognition program. See Handwriting Recognition on page 3-8 for more information.

TIP

IMPORTANT

To avoid losing the stylus, always keep it in the Tablet’s stylus holder when it is not in use.

To avoid scratching or damaging the screen, never use a pen, pencil or other sharp implement in place of the stylus.

For more information on using the stylus, see CalliGrapher’s on-line Help.
