General Precautions
Xplore computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and withstand the rigors of
portability. However, certain precautions should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to the computer.
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions included in the text of the
manual.
Heat Injury
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the exposed metal surfaces on the front and back of the
computer. If the GeneSys computer is used for long periods, its surface can become warm. While the
temperature may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the computer for a
long period of time (if you rest the computer on your lap for a defined period of time, for example)
your skin might suffer low -heat injury.
PC Card Overheating
Some PC Cards (or PCMCIA) can become hot with prolonged use. This is the same for any mobile
computer. If two cards are installed, both can become hot even if only one is used extensively.
Overheating of a PC Card can result in errors or instability in the PC Card operation. Also be careful
when you remove a PC Card that has been used for a long period of time.
Pressure or Impact Damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to repetitive strong impacts. Excessive
pressure or impact can cause damage to computer components or otherwise cause malfunctions.
Drops
The GeneSys computer is a full-powered, mobile computer and as such is weighted accordingly.
Although the weight is equally distributed to ensure proper balance, the actual weight of the computer
could cause injury if dropped onto someone’s person. Please take care not to drop the computer on
any vulnerable areas.
Cumulative drops of the computer may result in damage and is not recommended. Continual or
excessive drops due to misuse or abuse will not be covered by Xplore’s warranty program.

The GeneSys computer has an integrated resistive digitizer that accepts both pen and touch input.
The digitizer is embedded into the glass to maximize performance and accuracy.
A rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack powers the GeneSys tablet.
An internal battery backs up the internal Real Time Clock (RTC) and calendar.
The GeneSys computer has an integrated 2.5” ruggedized hard drive (HDD) with a capacity up to
20 GB.
This port enables connection to any of the GeneSys docking stations and aides further expansion.
The stylus is an intuitive input device for operating a computer. It provides the functionality of a
mouse with the familiarity of a regular pen or the touch of a finger. The stylus can be used for
basic pointing and tapping or for handwriting right onto the integrated digitizer.
When you connect an external device to the computer or vehicle dock, Plug and Play capability
enables the system to recognize the connection and makes the necessary configurations
automatically. This feature is effective only with Windows® 9x or 2000.
Special Features
The following features are either unique to the GeneSys or are advanced features, which make the
computer more convenient to use.

This program lets you customize your hardware settings according to the way you work with your
GeneSys computer and the peripherals you use.
This program lets you customize your digitizer settings according to the way you work with your
GeneSys computer. The pen/touch interface can be configured by the user to accommodate their
style.
Power is automatically turned off to the LCD panel when there is no pen, touch or keyboard input
for a time specified in the hardware setup program. Power is restored when the stylus or finger is
touched on the screen or any key on the optional keyboard is pressed. Content is not lost when
display goes into standby mode, however battery performance is improved.
Power is automatically turned off to the hard disk drive when it is not accessed for a time specified
in the hardware setup program. Power is restored when the hard disk is accessed.
When battery power is exhausted to the point that the computer operation cannot be continued,
the system provides a visu al warning that the battery is low and the system will be shut down. An
audio warning in the form of a beep is also emitted. After approximately 60 seconds, the system
will enter low power state “suspend mode”. It is important to note that AC or DC pow er must be
applied to the unit as quickly as possible after the warning has been issued. Once external power
has been connected, a new fresh battery can be swapped in or the user can continue to use
external power.
The Pentium® processor has relatively high power consumption compared to earlier CPU’s.
Therefore, it has greater potential for overheating, especially at higher processing speeds. To
protect from overheating the GeneSys computer uses special materials to move heat away from
the processor to the computer’s case and out into the air. It is normal for the case to become
warm to the touch after prolonged operation, and this is expected as part of a thermal
management system.
The GeneSys housing is designed for harsh environments. The metal structure is much stronger
than plastics and provides enhanced protection for the internal electronics.
