Important Safety Information
Before you use the XSLATE B10 (referred to as the tablet), read these safety instructions and
the operation instructions in this handbook.
Failure to observe all these instructions voids the Limited Warranty and may lead to
suspension or denial of services to the offender, or legal action, or both.
Follow any special regulations governing the use of the tablet and, if radio-enabled, always
switch it off in areas where radio devices are forbidden or when the radio device can cause
interference or danger.
Always follow any safety laws and regulations pertaining to the use of cell phones and twoway radios, because these laws and regulations typically apply to the use of the wirelessenabled tablet.
Observe all restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants, and wherever blasting operations are in progress or in
any area in which restrictions on radio transmissions are imposed. When flying in an aircraft,
turn off the tablet PC prior to take-off and landing. As of this writing, the FAA has approved
Chapter 1 Welcome1
the use of personal electronic devices on commercial aircraft when flying above 10,000ft
(3,048m). The tablet PC should only be turned on only when directed by the flight crew
members as FAA regulations are subject to change.
Operating the wireless-enabled tablet may interfere with the functioning of inadequately
protected medical devices such as pacemakers. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of
the medical device if you have any questions.
Radio signals from your tablet will not affect the operation of most modern equipment, but
certain electronic equipment, including automotive systems, may not be shielded against
radio signals from your tablet. Check with the manufacturer of your motor vehicle or the
manufacturer’s representative to determine whether using the tablet will present any safety
issues.
Avoid using the tablet in any environment that requires your full attention, such as when
driving a vehicle. If you need to use your tablet while driving, have a passenger use it for you
or find a safe location to halt your vehicle.
WAR NING: Use only battery types specified in this handbook. Using any other type of
battery can be dangerous and can disable the tablet. Do not drop or mishandle the
batteries, immerse them in water, or subject them to high heat. Doing so could increase the
risk of explosion or leakage, and possibly cause injury. The lithium-ion batteries used in this
equipment contain material that is hazardous to your health. If battery contents come in
contact with the eyes, IMMEDIATELY flush the affected area with clean water for 15 minutes
and have someone else summon medical attention for you. Unaffected persons should
assist the affected individual in the vital first flushing of the eyes. RECHARGING THE
BATTERY MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT IN A NON-HAZERDOUS AREA USING THE SUPPLIED

RF Exposure
Antennas
WLAN
Bluetooth
Antenna
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
By the FCC with the 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 tablet PC while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the tablet PC is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a tablet PC model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC and IC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., next
to body/lap) as required by the FCC for each model. (Next to body/lap measurements may
differ among tablet PC models, depending upon available accessories and FCC and IC
requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various tablet PCs
and at various positions, they are all required to meet the government regulations for safe
exposure.
This device was evaluated and shown to comply with FCC and IC SAR RF exposure
requirements.
Avoid covering or holding antennas when transmitting. Antenna locations are shown in the
following figure.
Chapter 7 Agency Notes FCC Notices 22
Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless tablet PC is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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 as well as the
RTT&E directive. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
• European Union RTT&E Directive for SAR
The exposure standard for wireless mobile tablet PCs employs a unit of Measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. The
SAR limit set by the RTT&E is 2.0W/kg.
NOTE: In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile tablet PCs used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. In Europe the SAR limit for mobile tablet PCs used
by the public is 2.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations.
