Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information

The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below
the Industry Canada (IC) radio frequency exposure limits. The
Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such that
the potential for human contact during normal operation is
minimized.

This device has been evaluated for and shown compliant with
the IC Specific Absorption Rate (“SAR”) limits when installed in
specific host products operated in portable exposure
conditions.

Informati ons concernant l'expositi on aux fréquences
radi o (RF)

La puissance de sortie émise par l’appareil de sans fil est
inférieure à la limite d'exposition aux fréquences radio
d'Industry Canada (IC). Utilisez l’appareil de sans fil de façon à
minimiser les contacts humains lors du fonctionnement

Ce périphérique a été évalué et démontré conforme aux
limites SAR (Specific Absorption Rate – Taux d'absorption
spécifique) d'IC lorsqu'il est installé dans des produits hôtes
particuliers qui fonctionnent dans des conditions d'exposition
à des appareils portables.

The device could automatically discontinue transmission in
case of absence of information to transmit, or operational
failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission
of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive
codes where required by the technology.

The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor
usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co­channel mobile satellite systems; the maximum antenna gain
permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and
5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and The
maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band
5725-5850 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for
point-to-point and non-point-to-point operation as
appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3). In addition, High­power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they
have priority) of the band 5250-5350 MHz and this radar
could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

U.S.

FCC ID: YE3801I

FCC Compliance 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. 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.

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
communication. 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 the
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.

Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your
authority to operate this equipment under Federal
Communications Commission rules.

The radios in this device have been designed and
manufactured to not exceed stipulated emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy as required by the
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government 47 C.F.R. § 2.1091 and 2.1093.

The external antenna connector provided in this device is for
GNSS antennas only.

Operation on the 5.15-5.25GHz frequency band is restricted
to indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-

5.25GHz band to reduce the potential for harmful
interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems.
Therefore, it will only transmit on the 5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-

5.725 GHz and 5.725 –5.850 GHz band when associated with
an access point (AP).

CE

Caring for your device

Cleaning

Turn off the device, and disconnect it from external power. Use a soft, dampened cloth
with either water or a diluted mild detergent. If a mild detergent is used, ensure all soap
residue is removed. Do not use chemical cleaners.

Touchscreen care

The rugged T10 tablet is rated IP65, and is designed to withstand extreme conditions and
harsh treatment, however taking proper care of the touchscreen will prolong the life and
ensure optimal display performance of the touchscreen of this product. Excessive or
prolonged exposure to abrasives, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the
performance of your touchscreen over time.

To help protect the screen:

l Clean it frequently. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen. You can dampen the

cloth with water or an eyeglass cleaner.

WARNING – Make sure that all ports and doors are fully closed, and that the

device is not connected to an external power supply. Do not use chemical or
abrasive cleaners.

l Keep it covered when not in use. Store the T10 tablet in a carry case while you are in

transit or not using it.

l Keep it out of the sun when not in use. Do not store the T10 tablet in direct sunlight

for a long time unnecessarily. Ultraviolet light and excessive heat from sun-loading heat
can damage the display.

Battery care

Use and storage temperature: Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to high temperatures,
so keep the device's batteries out of direct sun for long periods, and do not leave batteries
in a hot car, especially on a dashboard in full sun or other environments where
temperatures can exceed +70°C (+158°F). Battery life can be shortened if stored, charged,
or operated outside of these temperature ranges. Recommended storage temperature is
at room temperature (~+20°C / +68°F). When you are using the device or charging the
battery pack, it is normal for the device and battery pack to get warm.

If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures (for
example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may
experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature automatically:

l The device stops charging.

l If the device cannot regulate its internal temperature, it may go into a Sleep state until it

cools (see Sleep state, page 28).

Move the device to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before
trying to use the device again.

Charging: Recharge the battery any time; the battery pack does not need to be empty or
low before you recharge it. However, it is best to let the battery run to below 10 percent at
least once a month before you recharge it. Use only the manufacturer designated
charging accessories to recharge the batteries. Charge only at temperatures between 0 °C
and +45 °C (32°F and 113°F) for best battery life and performance.

Other environmental conditions: Battery packs are IP65-rated, sealed from water and
dust ingress, and are tested for protection from drops when in the tablet from heights up
to 1.22m. However, to prolong the life of the battery pack, dry it off with a cloth if it becomes
wet, protect the contacts from moisture and short-circuiting, do not intentionally
submerge the battery, and take care to avoid unnecessary drops, mechanical shocks, and
vibrations.

The T10 tablet is designed to work in ambient temperatures between -20°C and 60°C
(-4°F and 140°F)and to be stored (without the battery)in temperatures between -55°C
and 70°C (-67°F and 158°F). Avoid exposing the device to dramatic changes in
temperature or humidity.

Performance issues

Device is running slowly

l Operating system updates may be installing.

Windows 10 Pro may have automatically downloaded software or operating system
updates, and is installing these in the background. While these updates are being

installed, system performance may be reduced, or wireless connectivity speed may
appear to be slower than normal.

l You may have too many background applications running.

Some programs start automatically and run in the background. You can disable these
programs at startup to improve Windows startup time and overall system
performance.

l You may have malware or a virus.

A virus or other malicious software could cause your device to run slowly. Check
whether your device has a virus by using Windows Defender, which is included with
Windows 10, or refer to the documentation for your third party antivirus software.

l Check your wireless network speed.

If the apps you are using are connecting to the Internet, a poor network connection
may be causing them to run slowly. For detailed information on checking your network,
see Wi-Fi speed is slow, page 62.

l Check for low disk space.

You may be able to improve performance if you free up some disk space on your
device. Disk Cleanup can delete temporary and system files, empty the Recycle bin, and
remove apps and data that you no longer need.

l Your device may have overheated.

If you are using your device in a hot environment and/or are using a processor or
memory-intensive, your device may have become too hot. Move your device to a
cooler spot, wait five minutes, and see if it runs faster.

Wireless connectivity issues

Wi-Fi speed is slow

l Your network is running slow for all devices.

You should first check to see whether your network is slow on another device. Can you
connect to your wireless network and browse the web at normal speeds from another
PC, tablet, or smartphone? Try running a Network Speed Test to ensure your Internet
connection is functioning normally.

l Your Wi-Fi signal is weak.

Check the Wireless network icon in the taskbar. This icon shows your current
signal strength. If the icon is partially dimmed, move your device closer to your wireless
router to see if the signal improves. If your router is broadcasting on both a 2.4 GHz

and 5 GHz frequency, try connecting to a different frequency. In general, a network
operating on the 5 GHz frequency will be faster and less susceptible to interference,
but will have a shorter range than a 2.4 GHz network.

Wi-Fi is not connected

l There is no Wi-Fi connectivity.

Make sure that the tablet is not in Airplane mode:

l the RFswitch on the back of the device must be in the ONposition.

l Airplane mode must be OFFin the operating system.

See Airplane mode, page 40

Power and battery issues

Battery will not charge

l The battery is overheated, or too cold.

The battery pack will charge between 0 °C and 45 °C (32 °F and 113 °F). If you have been
using or storing the battery and/or device in a particularly hot or cold environment, the
battery pack may be outside the safe charging temperature range. Sensors in the
battery pack will prevent the battery from charging until its temperature returns to a
normal level.

l The battery is not installed correctly.

If the battery pack is not installed correctly in the device or the battery pack charger, it
may not have a proper connection and will not charge.

l The battery terminals are dirty or corroded.

If the terminals of the battery pack are dirty or corroded, it may not have a proper
connection and will not charge.

Device will not start up

l The battery does not have enough charge to power the device:

Check the battery charge; see Checking the battery charge, page 29. If the battery
charge is low, attach the device to an external power source, or swap the battery for a
charged battery, then try again.

l The battery is not correctly installed.

Trimble T10 Tablet User Guide |63

9 Troubleshooting, downloading updates, andrepair

The device may not be receiving power from the battery if it is not installed properly.
Remove the battery, then replace it, pressing down on both corners until it clicks into
place. See Installing and removing the battery packs, page 25.

Device suddenly turns off during use

l Make sure you are not accidentally pressing the Power key.

The Power key is located in the bottom left of the front of the device. Make sure that
while gripping the device that you are not accidentally pressing the Power key and
suspending the unit.

l The device may have run out of power and gone into critical suspend mode.

If your battery charge level gets too low, the device will automatically go into a
hibernate mode to prevent loss of data. If the battery charge is too low, connect the
device to external power, or swap the battery for a charged battery.

If you regularly run out of battery power while in the field, consider carrying a spare
battery with you. The device supports hot-swapping of the battery, which means that
the device will keep running for up to two minutes while you remove the battery pack
and replace it with another.

Device shuts down when hot-swapping the battery

l Hot-swap battery is not sufficiently charged.

The hot-swap back-up battery allows you to change the main device battery pack for a
charged one without shutting the device down. To function correctly, the hot-swap
battery must have at least 90 minutes of charging time before it can work properly. If
you attempt multiple hot-swaps without allowing the back-up battery to recharge, your
device may shut down when the battery pack is removed.

Restarting or resetting the operating system

If your device becomes unresponsive and you cannot resolve the problem, you need to
restart or reset your device.

For detailed instructions on the recovery options in Windows 10, refer to the Microsoft
support pages on Windows 10 recovery options at www.support.microsoft.com.

Restarting your (unresponsive) device

If your device is no longer responding to touchscreen or keypad input, you may need to
force it to restart by removing power from the system.

NOTE – Restarting the system by holding down the Power key removes power to the CPU. Any

unsaved files and settings will be lost.

Trimble T10 Tablet User Guide |64

Operating system and software updates

Periodically, operating system and software application updates will be available for your
device.

Windows 10 updates

The Windows 10 operating system periodically checks for updates so you don’t have to.
When an update is available, it is automatically downloaded and installed — keeping your
device up-to-date with the latest features.

Installing the latest updates can help fix common issues, but you must be online to
download the updates. If you are having trouble connecting and downloading updates
because your wireless network is too slow, you can try using a wired network via the Office
Cradle accessory.

Once online, to check for and install the latest updates manually, go to Settings / Update &
security / Windows Update, and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your
device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available.

For more information about Windows updates, refer to the official Windows Update FAQ on

www.microsoft.com.

Wi-Fi driver updates

The correct Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi driver for use with Trimble SX10 Scanning Total Station is version

17.15.0.5. To check which version is installed and selected, and to roll back if the driver has
been updated, see Working with Wi-Fi networks, page 41.

Software downloads and updates

The latest versions of software including drivers, firmware updates, and software utilities,
are available on the technical support pages on www.trimble.com.
