•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.
•
CAUTION: Changes or modifications 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 set forth for a portable device in an uncontrolled environment 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.
•When used with an external antenna, the antenna should have an impedance of 50 ohms and
a gain not to exceed +5dBi. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, separation
distance of at least 20 cm (8 in) should be maintained between the external antenna and all
persons.
•Within the 5.15 – 5.25 GHz band, operation is restricted to indoors operations.
•
Canada
•This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canada ICES-003, Issue 4 June 7, 2004 and
license-exempt RSS standards RSS-210, Issue No 8 (December 2010), RSS-132 Issue No. 2
(September 2005), and RSS-133 Issue No. 5 (February 2009). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must

fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil ne peut pas
provoquer d'interférences et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence pouvant causer un
fonctionnement indésirable de l'appareil.
•This product is restricted to indoor use when operating 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.
•Operation in the 2.4 GHz band: To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this
device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum
shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
•Pour empêcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une licence, il
doit être utilisé a l'intérieur et devrait être placé loin des fenêtres afinde fournir un écran de
blindage maximal. Si le matériel (ou son antenne d'émission) est installé à l'extérieur, il doit
faire l'objet d'une licence.
•Be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the
bands 5250 – 5350 MHz and 5650 – 5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference
and/or damage to WLAN devices.
•Under Industry Canada regulations, the WLAN radio transmitter may only be operated using an
antenna of a type and maximum gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To
reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary
for successful communication.
•This radio transmitter 7888B-633ANH has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with
the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna
impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a
gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with
this device.

WARNING!
FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, USE ONLY THE 2400 MAH
BATTERY P/N 0300-15663-2400 THAT CAME WITH YOUR
COMPUTER
.
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!
Disposed lithium-
ion batteries that are not fully discharged contain
active salts that can result in an explosion if
suddenly exposed to
moisture or water in the environment. To prevent possible injury to
someone finding the battery, please ensure it is fully discharged
before disposing in a domestic or commercial garbage receptacle.
WARNING!
Do not
disable the power switching function if the X10gx will be
used in a hazardous location (HAZLOC), regardless of the docking
