EMC and Safety Notice

Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement 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 radiates radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause 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:

- Re-orient 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 supplier or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 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. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an un-controlled environment. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna during transmitting.

Countermeasures if interference occurs

You are encouraged to do the following if interference occurs while you are operating the device: Turn OFF the unit and unplug the AC adapter from the outlet to see if the interference disappears. Connect the AC adapter to the outlet in another room and check if the interference still exists. Use an outlet that is far away from the interfered appliance. Re-orient your computer in respect to the interfered appliance to see if there is improvement. If all of these failed, please call your supplier for help.

2.5 Power System

2.5.1 Using AC Power

The Pegasus power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the 13.3” Rugged Notebook. Your 13.3” Rugged notebook comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or using power converters. Different countries may require that an adapter be used to connect the provided US-standard AC power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages when bringing power adapters to another country.

TIP: You can buy travel kits for the 13.3” rugged notebook that includes

power and modem adapters for almost every country.

With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the 13.3” Rugged Notebook. Connecting the AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet first allows you to test the AC outlet’s power and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems before connecting the DC power to the

13.3” Rugged Notebook. The power indicator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is within accepted ranges.

Page 18 of 23

IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the 13.3” Rugged notebook or use the 13.3” rugged notebook’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery pack(s) and the 13.3” rugged notebook with a faulty AC-DC

adapter.

NOTE: This Pegasus notebook may come with either a two or threeprong plug depending on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a properly grounded adapter to

ensure safe operation of the 13.3” rugged Notebook.

WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.

2.5.2 Using Battery Power

The Pegasus is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A fully charged pack will provide several hours of battery life, which can be further extended by using power management features through the BIOS setup. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through a 13.3” Rugged notebook retailer.

2.5.3 Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

Your 13.3” rugged notebook may or may not have its battery pack installed. If your Pegasus does not have its battery pack installed, use the following procedures to install the battery pack.

IMPORTANT! Never attempt to remove the battery pack while the 13.3” rugged notebook is turned ON, as this may result in the loss of working

data.

PEGASUS User Manual roda

Page 19 of 23

2.5.4 To remove the battery pack:

IMPORTANT! Only use battery packs and power adapters supplied with this 13.3” rugged notebook or specifically approved by the manufacturer or retailer for use with this model or else damage may occur to the 13.3”

rugged notebook.

2.5.5 Battery Care

The 13.3” rugged notebook’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can be recharged. The battery pack’s useful life will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and how your 13.3” rugged notebook is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a temperature range between -20˚C and 60˚C. You must also take into account that the 13.3” rugged notebook’s internal temperature is higher than the outside temperature. Any temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new battery pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this 13.3” rugged notebook. Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended to buy

extras for storing.
