Notice:
•
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 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.
•This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes
not expressly approved by DRS Tactical Systems could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
•For body-worn operation, this computer has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with ARMOR supplied accessories, or accessories designed specifically
for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
•This X10gx tablet computer has been tested for compliance with ATEX directive 94/9/EC.
•This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003, Issue 4 June 7, 2004 and
RSS-210, Issue No 7 (June 2007) and No 5 (Nov 2001).
•Cet appariel numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003, No. 4, June 7, 2004;
et CNR-210, No 7 (June 2007) et No 5 (Nov 2001).
•[In Canada], this product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25-GHz
frequency range. Industry Canada requires this product to be used indoors to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.

LIVE UNLESS AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
AVERTISSEMENT-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!
EXPLOSION HAZARD – BATTERIES MUST ONLY BE CHANGED IN
AN AREA KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
AVERTISSEMENT-RISQUE D'EXPLOSION - AFIN D'ÉVITER TOUT

WARNING!
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.
WARNING!
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.

WARNING!
If battery material comes in contact with the skin, flush the affected
area with clean water and seek immediate medical treatment.
WARNING!
Place all shipping bags and packing materials safely out of the reach
of small children, especially infants and toddlers. These items may
pose a choking or suffocation hazard.
WARNING!
Do not disable the power switching function if the X10gx will be
used in a hazardous location (HAZLOC), regardless of the docking
station used.
WARNING!
Changes or modifications not performed by, or expressly authorized
by, DRS Tactical Systems, Inc could be hazardous to your health,
could cause damage to the equipment, could void your warranty or
could result in all of the above.
CAUTION!
Use this product only in vehicles that can supply a constant source
voltage of 11 to 28 VDC (16 VDC nominal) ± 2% at 6 amps. Voltage
sources outside this range could cause unstable operation or
result in permanent damage to the computer.
CAUTION!
DO NOT connect the DC power supply from a Rapid Battery
Charger into the computer or docking mechanism. This power
supply is 24 VDC and will cause permanent damage to the
computer.

FRONT MATTER CONTENT PAGE 10

Rev B
CAUTION!
DO NOT connect the computer to more than one power source at a
time such as with the AC adapter connected to the computer and
vehicle power connected to the docking station. Permanent
damage to the X10gx batteries or to the computer itself may result.
CAUTION!
Use only the battery originally supplied with your ARMOR X10gx
or one recommended by DRS. The use of any other battery could
create a hazardous condition and possibly damage your computer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions in
Disposing Of Your Batteries.
CAUTION!
Recharging the battery must only be carried out in a non-
hazardous area using the supplied AC adapter. The definition of
hazardous areas can be found in Standard EN 60079-10.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use this unit in classified areas unsuitable for its safety
ratings. NE PAS UTILISER CETTE UNITÉ EN ZONES AINSI
CLASSÉES IMPROPRES À SA COTE DE SÉCURITÉ
CAUTION!
When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN [in Canada], this product is
restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15- to 5.25-
GHz frequency range. Industry Canada requires this product to be
used indoors for the frequency range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to
reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile
satellite systems. High power radar is allocated as the primary
user of the 5.25- to 5.35-GHz and 5.65 to 5.85-GHz bands. These
radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage to this
device.

1 Welcome and Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ARMOR X10gx Rugged Tablet with Intel® Core Duo™ Mobile
technology. Your X10gx is the latest addition to the ARMOR line of durable, reliable, and easy-
to-use tablet computers.
The X10gx is housed in our new magnesium alloy chassis and has sealed external connectors
that are rated IP 67 level protection from dust, dirt, water and other damaging elements. Its hot-
swappable battery access means you can change the batteries without the need for tools and
without interrupting normal computer operations. In addition, you now have the functionality of
both a touch screen and an active pen screen at your fingertips.
The ARMOR X10gx gives you the power of a desktop computer in a rugged portable tablet
computer. The X10gx can be mounted in a vehicle or it can be used on a desktop, on the
ground, held on the lap, or held in the crook of the arm. You can write and perform operations
directly on the screen, work with a virtual on-screen keyboard, or attach a USB keyboard
(compact keyboard, standard-sized USB keyboard, or Bluetooth keyboard).
We take pride in providing high-quality products and superior customer service. Thank you for
