Power Button Behavior
To power on the M300, press the power button on the side of the device for 3 seconds.
To power off the M300, either press the power button for 3 seconds and confirm the power off
dialogues, or press and hold the power button for a full 10 seconds to force a shutdown.
A short press on the power button will turn on/off the display.
Additional power behavior:
Plugging in a Micro-USB cable connected to a power source to the battery pod will power on the device
if the device is off.
Pressing power button for 3 seconds without the battery pod connected will turn on the M300, though
the internal battery in the main unit is not designed to power the unit for an extended period of time
and is only intended for hot swapping of the battery.
Hot Swapping of Battery
The battery pod of the M300 can be hot swapped by disconnecting M300 power cable the battery and
connecting another charged battery. The internal battery in the main unit will maintain power and
connectivity on the M300 for approximately 60 seconds, at which point the device will put itself to sleep
to prevent data loss. The display will power off during the swap, but the device will stay running.
For instructions on how to connect/disconnect the battery, refer to Assembly section of this manual.
User Interface Controls
The M300 supports a variety of methods to control the device, including the standard buttons, a
touchpad, as well as a sophisticated voice control engine.
Buttons
The buttons are intended as a basic interface navigation method, allowing the user to navigate through
menus and make selections. The two front-most buttons will perform a forward/back function, and the
rear most button will perform a select action. A long press on the front button will bring up a context
menu for the current selection, and a long press on the center button will exit back to the home screen.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Electrical Waste & Electronic Equipment
1. The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its
production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.
2. In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the
pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those
systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end life equipment in a sound way.
3. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems.
4. If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling systems, please contact your local
or regional waste administration.
5. You can also contact us for more information on the environmental performances of our products.
FCC Compliance
NOTE: 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 can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not in-stalled and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
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:
- 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.
This device complies with 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 complies with the FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF
energy. The M300 is tested at its highest transmission levels and placed in a position that simulates use
against the head with no separation. To minimize exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option to
maintain separation between the device and your head.
The maximum combined SAR head measurements for all radio modes are below:
SAR 1g (W/kg): 1.0687
SAR 10g (W/kg): 0.4047
