Safety Precautions

 Warning!

Always completely disconnect the power cord from your

chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make

connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic

components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only

experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

 Caution!

Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before

touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very

sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a

Rugged Computing

grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic

components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag

when they are not in the chassis.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

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 installed 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.

CAUTION:

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the

equipment.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.

RF exposure warning

The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

RF exposure information (SAR)

This Rugged Tablet PC meets the government's requirements for
exposure to radio waves. This Rugged Tablet PC is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for
wireless Rugged Tablet PC employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, 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 Rugged Tablet
PC transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the Rugged Tablet PC
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the Rugged Tablet PC is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for US
model Rugged Tablet PC as reported to the FCC when tested for
use at the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.297 W/kg.

CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED

This chapter guides you to get the Rugged Tablet PC ready for operating.

1.1 Connecting the AC Power

Our tablet PC can operate either on the external AC power adapter or
internal battery power. It is suggested that you use AC power when you
start up the tablet PC first time.

**Caution
Use only the AC adapter included with your tablet PC. Using other AC
adapters may damage the tablet PC.

1. Plug the DC cord of the AC adapter to the power connector of the tablet PC.

2. Plug the female end of the AC power cord to the AC adapter and the male end to

the power electrical outlet.

3. When the AC adapter is connected, the Battery Pack is also under charging. You

can check the Battery Status LED indicator to see the currently progress. The

indicator turns to green when is fully charged.

(For information on using battery power, see “Chapter 3 The Power Management”)

**Caution
When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet
first and then from the tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC
adapter or the tablet PC.
When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the
cord.

with power.

3. Press the power button on the right side by 3 seconds to start it.

1.2.2 Turning off the Tablet PC

To turn off the tablet PC power, use the “Shut Down” command of your

operating system.

**Caution

If you have to turn the tablet PC on again immediately after turning
it off, wait for at least five seconds. Turning the tablet PC off and on
rapidly can damage it.

Light Source

Rugged Computing

1.3 The Optimized Use for Sunlight Readable Touch screen.

With the imposed reflective function, the modified LCD can reflect the ambient light
passing the LCD cell and utilize the reflected light beams as its illumination. The
stronger the ambient light is, the brighter the LCD will appear. As a result, the
modified LCD is viewable under lighting conditions. The optimized angle of view is
fourty-five degree. And the optimized distance of view is 30cm.

**Caution
Although transflective LCD is mainly used in outdoor environment and it may

increase the reflective lights under sunlight, it is suggested that you should
keep the LCD in appropriate temperature for operation and storage, and avoid
direct sunlight if possible. To ensure the transflective LCD work stably, 0~50°C
(32-121°F) operation and storage temperature is suitable.
