Warranty information
The XC6 is backed by a standard 36-month International Limited Warranty. An
extended International Limited Warranty is available. Check the service kit included
with your computer for warranty terms and conditions.
8 XC6 User’s Handbook
Important safety information
Before you use the XC6 (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
two-way radios, because these laws and regulations typically apply to the use of the
wireless-enabled 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.
Switch off the tablet when in an aircraft. The tablet is not FAA-approved for use on
aircraft. The effect of the use of the tablet in aircraft is unknown. Using the tablet in an
aircraft may affect aircraft instrumentation, communication, and performance; may
disrupt the network; and may be illegal.
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.
WARNING – BATTERIES
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 ANON-HAZERDOUS AREA USING THE SUPPLIED
AC ADAPTOR. The definition of hazardous areas can be found in Standard EN 60079-10.
XC6 User’s Handbook 9
WARNING
When operating the tablet in a known explosive environment do not remove or replace the
battery while the circuit is live. Before removing the battery verify that the area is known to
be free of ignitable concentrations of flammable substances.

WARNING
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 tablet by Xplore is not
permitted because it may cause hazards.
Operate the tablet only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
(See page 51 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 tablet or its dock. Do not
overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles because this
can cause fire or electric shock.
10 XC6 User’s Handbook
Unplug the tablet and refer the tablet and dock for service to qualified
service personnel if any of the following conditions occur:
■ The power supply cord or plug is damaged.
■ The tablet or dock does not operate normally when you follow the
instructions in this book.
■ The tablet 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 tablet or
dock to normal operation.
CAUTION
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the exposed metal surfaces on
the front and back of the tablet. While the tablet may not feel hot to the
touch, if you maintain physical contact with the tablet for a long time
(for example, if you rest the tablet 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.
