- Your tablet is designed to sustain a multiple-axis drop to an unyielding surface. Do not intentionally drop the tablet, because the cumulative effects of multiple drops might damage it.
- Do not place heavy objects on the tablet.
- Do not disassemble the tablet.
- Keep the tablet at least 5 inches (13 centimeters) away from any electrical appliance that generates a strong magnetic field, such as a motor, magnet, TV, refrigerator, or large audio speakers.
• Install a screen protector to preserve the screen.
Storing the Tablet
You can store the tablet in the off state for about 30 days with a fully charged battery installed. After this period, recharge the battery or replace it with a charged battery.
Caring for the Display Screen
To clean the display screen, dampen a soft cotton cloth with water and gently wipe the screen surface. You can also use isopropyl alcohol to clean the screen.
Protecting the Tablet with a Screen Protector
The screen protector is a durable, replaceable writing surface that protects the display screen from abrasion.
To get screen protectors, check with your reseller, or go to the Xplore web site at www.xploretech.com for ordering information. Additional information about installation is included with the screen protectors.
Applying a New Screen Protector
Follow the instructions included with your screen protector replacement kit.
NOTE: If a screen protector is already on the display screen, remove it before installing the new screen protector.
Agency Notices 7
FCC Notices
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device must not cause harmful interference.
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that might cause undesired operation.
Modifications not expressly approved by the Xplore corporation could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, the tablet might 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, then you are 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.
WLAN: (Wi-Fi)
Note that 5150-5250MHz (Ch. 36-48) is restricted to indoor use only in many countries, including the United States.
RF Exposure
Tests for the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the tablet transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the SAR level of the tablet while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the tablet 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 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 (next to body and lap) as required by the FCC for each model. (Next-to-body and next-to-lap measurements can differ among tablet models, depending on the available accessories, the FCC requirements, and the IC requirements.) While there might be differences between the SAR levels of various tablets 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 this figure.

Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless tablet 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 European directive set by the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE). 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 R&TTE directive for the Specific Absorption Rate
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Limits
The exposure standard for wireless mobile tablets 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 in the European Union by the R&TTE is 2.0W/kg.
NOTE: In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile tablets used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile tablets 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.
DOC (Industry of Canada Notices)
Notice to Users of Radio and Television
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt Radio Standards Specifications (RSS). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device must not cause interference.
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that might cause undesired operation of the device.
The device might automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology. The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) complies with the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) limit, also known as the effective isotropically radiated power. The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5850 MHz) complies with the EIRP limits specified for point-to-point and non-point-to-point operation as appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3). In addition, high-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the 5250-5350 MHz band, and this radar might cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
