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.

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. EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT WHILE CIRCUIT IS LIVE UNLESS AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZERDOUS.

AVERISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION. NE PAS DÉBRANCHER TANT QUE LE CIRCUIT EST SOUS TENSION, À MOINS QU'IL NE S'AGISSE D'UN EMPLACEMENT NON DANGEREUX.

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 54 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.

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.

Agency Notes

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.

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

Agency Notes

• 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.

Environmental Policy

Xplore Technologies is committed to managing health, safety and environmental (HS&E) matters as an integral part of our business. In particular, it is our policy to assure the HS&E integrity of our processes and facilities at all times and at all places. We will do so by adhering to the following principles:

Compliance

We will comply with applicable laws and regulations and will implement programs and procedures to assure compliance. Compliance with HS&E standards will be a key ingredient in the training, performance reviews, and incentives of all employees.

Risk Reduction and Prevention Management

We will seek opportunities, beyond compliance requirements, for reducing risk to human health and the environment, and we will establish and meet our own HS&E quality standards where appropriate.

We will employ management systems and procedures specifically designed to prevent activities and/or conditions that pose a threat to human health, safety, or the environment. We will look for ways to minimize risk and protect our employees and the communities in which we operate by employing clean technology, including safe technologies and operating procedures, as well as being prepared for emergencies.

We will strive to minimize releases to the air, land, or water through use of cleaner technologies and the safer use of chemicals. We will minimize the amount and toxicity of waste generated and will ensure the safe treatment and disposal of waste. We will manage scarce resources, such as water, energy, land, and forests in an environmentally sensitive manner..

Communication

We will communicate our commitment to HS&E quality to our employees, vendors, and customers. We will solicit their input in meeting our HS&E goals and in turn will offer assistance to meet their goals.

Environmental

Continuous Improvement:

We will measure our progress as best we can. We will review our progress at least on an annual basis. We will continuously seek opportunities to improve our adherence to these principles, and will periodically report progress to our stakeholders
