iX104 User’s Handbook 5
Important safety information
Before you use the iX104, 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 computer 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 two-way radios, because these laws and regulations typically
apply to the use of the wireless-enabled iX104.
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.
Switch off the iX104 when in an aircraft. The iX104 is not FAA-approved for
use on aircraft. The effect of the use of the iX104 in aircraft is unknown.
Using the iX104 in an aircraft may affect aircraft instrumentation,
communication, and performance; may disrupt the network; and may be
illegal.
Operating the wireless-enabled iX104 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 iX104 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 iX104. Check with the
manufacturer of your motor vehicle or the manufacturer’s representative to
determine whether using the iX104 will present any safety issues.
Avoid using the iX104 in any environment that requires your full attention,
such as when driving a vehicle. If you need to use your iX104 while driving,
have a passenger use it for you or find a safe location to halt your vehicle.

WARNING
Use only battery types specified in this handbook. Using any other type of
a
battery can be dangerous and can disable the iX104.
WARNING
a
Do not use any dock or any other accessory or attachment that is not
manufactured or supplied by Xplore or an authorized Xplore accessories
supplier. Use of any accessory or attachment that is not supplied or approved
for use with the iX104 by Xplore is not permitted because it may cause
hazards.
Operate the iX104 only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. (See page 56 for more information about the battery and power
supply.) Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to
cords at plugs and convenience receptacles, and at the point where cords exit
from the computer or its dock. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles because this can cause fire or electric
shock.
Unplug the iX104 and refer the iX104 and dock for service to qualified
service personnel if any of the following conditions occur:
■ The power supply cord or plug is damaged.
■ The iX104 or dock does not operate normally when you follow the
instructions in this book.
■ The iX104 or dock exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Adjust only controls for which there are instructions in this book. An
improper adjustment of other controls can result in damage and may require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the iX104 or dock to
normal operation.
CAUTION
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the exposed metal surfaces on the front
and back of the computer. While the computer may not feel hot to the touch, if
you maintain physical contact with the computer for a long time (for example, if
you rest the computer on your lap for a long time), your skin may suffer low-
heat injury. In addition, be careful when you remove a PC card that has been
used for a long time, because the card may be hot.
