Basic Safety Guidelines
The following safety guidelines are intended to help protect the user from injury and prevent
damage to the hardware.
■
Do not place anything on the AC adapters power cable and make sure the cable is not
located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
■
Do not cover the AC adaptor as it reduces the cooling.
■
Do not use the AC adapter while it is inside the carrying case.
■
Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are approved for use with the device.
Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may cause risk of fire or explosion.
■
If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of
all products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the
extension cable.
■
If the device is moved between environments with very different temperature and/ or humidity
ranges, condensation may form on or within the device. Avoid damaging the device by
allowing sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the device.
■
When disconnecting cables, pull on the connector or on its strain relief loop, not on the
cable itself. When pulling out or plugging in the connector, keep it evenly aligned to prevent
bending the connector pins.
Intended Use
The PX501 rugged tablet is equipped with multi-functional terminals for stationary and
mobile applications in industrial environments such as logistics, warehousing, fleet
management, manufacturing and the automotive industry.
Read the safety guidelines thoroughly before starting any servicing on the device. Read the
guidelines before powering up the device, and keep this document for later use.
The operator is solely responsible for any damage resulting from unauthorized modifications to the
device.
Unintended Application Use
The device is not designed for use in life-support systems or critical safety/security systems where
system malfunction can lead to the direct or indirect endangerment of human life. The operator is
fully responsible for using the device in these situations.
Maintenance and Operation Overview
The PX501 is designed and manufactured according to strict controls and following the stated
safety regulations. The following list identifies incorrect operating uses of the PX501. Incorrect
use of the PX501 can lead to hardware damage, safety issues and possible risk to personnel
health:
■
The PX501 is under operation by untrained personnel;
■
The PX501 is not maintained as recommended;
■
The PX501 is not used as intended.
3
Safety
To prevent injury and damage, read the following safety guidelines prior to operating the
device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any and all damages arising from misuse or
noncompliance with these guidelines.
Electrical Hazards
Cleaning/Servicing: Power Off the PX501
■
Disconnect the PX501 from power before cleaning or servicing it.
Power Adapter
Contact an authorized service personnel for repairs to the power pack. In the event of a blown
fuse after replacing the fuse, contact an authorized service personnel to avoid electrical shock.
Use only Supplied Power Cables
RuggON power cables meet industrial requirements for low-temperature flexibility, UV resistance,
and oil resistance. Use only supplied power cables from RuggON.
If other power cables are used, the following may apply:
■
The operator is solely responsible for the resulting damage;
■
All RuggON warranties are void.
Environmental Hazards
Do not use the PX501 in locations near/with flammable gases or vapor. The
use of electrical equipment in explosive environments can be dangerous.
■
Turn off the device when near a gas station, fuel depot, chemical plant or a place where
blasting operations take place.
Environmental
Ambient Temperature
The PX501 operates on the basis of a passive cooling concept which internal waste heat is
released via the housing surface and requires fresh airflow in the environment.
■
Operating the PX501 with no fresh cooling air may cause overheating and damage to the
device.
■
The operating environment should not be enclosed to prevent the cool air being heated by
the heat waste from the device.
Connecting and Disconnecting External Devices
To prevent the considerable damage, the PX501 and the external device should be disconnected
from power when connecting/disconnecting excluding USB devices.
Only Use Authorized Accessories
Only use the supplied cables, power packs and other accessories that have been tested and
approved by RuggON. Contact your local distributor for further information.
4
Radio Transmissions
Permitted Transmission Power
Follow the national regulations for the maximum permitted transmission power.
The operator is solely responsible for this type of operation.
Radio Frequency Limited Locations
Considering the radio frequency limitation in hospitals and aircraft, the PX501 can only
be installed with permission.
Industrial computers may affect the function of implanted medical devices such as pacemakers
and may cause malfunction.
Cleaning and Servicing
■
Disconnect the PX501 from power before cleaning or servicing.
■
Never clean the PX501 with compressed air, a pressure washer or a vacuum cleaner.
■
If necessary, clean the housing of the PX501 with a damp cloth.
■
Clean the touch-screen with a nonabrasive cloth.

used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
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.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

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 highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC 2.4G is 0.62 W/kg;5G is 1.44W/kg
when placed next to the body.
