Important safety information

_____________________________________________________________________

Before you use the RangerX (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.

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.
