FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

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 and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may 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, the user is 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.

CAUTION:

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

RF exposure warning

The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

RF exposure information (SAR)

This

Rugged Table PC meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.

This

Rugged Table PC 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. The exposure standard for wireless

Rugged Table PC employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the

Rugged Table PC transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the

Rugged Table PC while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the

Rugged Table PC is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest

SAR value for US model

Rugged Table PC as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.770 W/kg.

Industry Canada Class B Statement

The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC. The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because the tablet PC runs on DC power input, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power.

38


3.2 Charging and Checking Charging Status

3.2.1 Charging the Battery Pack The battery pack is the internal power source for the tablet PC.

It is rechargeable using the AC adapter. The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the tablet PC. When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time.

NOTE:

1. Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0 �C (32 �F). It is also

recommended not to charge the battery when temperature is above 45 �C (113 �F)

2. To prevent damage, the charging process may stop and the Battery Charge Indicator

flashes red when the environmental temperature gets above 55 �C (131�F)

3.2.3 Charging Approaches There is one way recommended to charge the battery pack. By connecting the AC adapter to the tablet PC and an electrical outlet, the Battery Charge

Indicator on the tablet PC glowed orange to indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the tablet PC power off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green.

1

CAUTION:

After the tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. The above-mentioned may damage the

battery.

2

During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully

charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery.

39


Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the tablet PC.

In Windows operating system, you can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter function. To read the battery level in Windows, click the icon on the taskbar. (Click the icon if the tablet PC is using AC power.)

3.2.4 Battery Low Signals and Actions Battery Low occurs when the battery has approximately

10 % (Windows default setting) of its charge remaining. The tablet PC’s Battery Charge

Indicator (

) blinks red to alert you take actions.

NOTICE:

You can set up the Battery Low threshold and signals under Windows. Immediately save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating time depends on how you are using the tablet PC. If you are using the audio subsystem, hard or USB flash disk, the battery

might run out of charge very quickly.

CAUTION:

1. If you do not take any action, the tablet PC will automatically hibernate and turn off.

2. If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out of charge, then you

will lose your data.

3.3 Power Management

The Tablet PC supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving.
