Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data
may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare
when wireless devices such as the Android IPC is used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the
Android IPC should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any
kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Robustel
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received
using the computer, or for failure of the computer to transmit or receive such data.
Safety Precautions
General
The Android IPC generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using the Android IPC, care must be taken on
safety issues related to RF interference as well as regulations of RF equipment.
Do not use your Android IPC in aircraft, hospitals, petrol stations or in places where using cellular products is
prohibited.
Be sure that the Android IPC will not be interfering with nearby equipment. For example: pacemakers or
medical equipment. The antenna of the Android IPC should be away from computers, office equipment, home
appliance, etc.
An external antenna must be connected to the Android IPC for proper operation. Only uses approved antenna
with the Android IPC. Please contact authorized distributor on finding an approved antenna.
Always keep the antenna with minimum safety distance of 20 cm or more from the human body. Do not put the
antenna inside metallic box, containers, etc.
RF exposure statements
1. For mobile devices without co-location (the transmitting antenna is installed or located more than 20cm
away from the body of user and nearby person)
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open.
Android IPC may be used at this time.
Using the Android IPC in Vehicle
Check for any regulation or law authorizing the use of cellular devices in vehicle in your country before installing
the Android IPC.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Android IPC while driving.
Install the Android IPC by qualified personnel. Consult your vehicle distributor for any possible interference of
electronic parts by the Android IPC.
The Android IPC should be connected to the vehicle’s supply system by using a fuse-protected terminal in the
vehicle’s fuse box.
Be careful when the Android IPC is powered by the vehicle’s main battery. The battery may be drained after
extended period.
Protecting Your Android IPC
To ensure error-free usage, please install and operate your Android IPC with care. Do remember the following:
Do not expose the Android IPC to extreme conditions such as high humidity / rain, high temperature, direct
sunlight, caustic / harsh chemicals, dust, or water.
Do not try to disassemble or modify the Android IPC. There is no user serviceable part inside and the warranty
would be void.

Insert SIM card/Micro SD card
1. Confirm power has been disconnected;
2. Insert SIM card/Micro SD, pressing with fingers until hearing a sound;
Remove SIM card/Micro SD card
1. Confirm power has been disconnected;
2. Press SIM card/Micro SD card until hearing a sound, and take the card after the card is being ejected;
Note:
1. Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N.m, and the maximum allowed is 1.2 N.m.
2. Please use the specialized M2M SIM card/Micro SD card when the device is working in the extreme temperature.
Because the regular card often disconnects when works in a harsh environment.
3. Do not touch the metal on the card, to preventing information loss or damage.
4. Do not bend or scratch card.
5. Keep card away from magnetic.
6. Must disconnect power before insert or remove the card.
2.1.8 Attach External Antenna (SMA Type)
Attach an external RP-SMA antenna to the device’s WIFI&BT antenna connector and twist tightly. Make sure the
antenna should support 2.4 GHz and with 50 Ohm impedance. Attach an external SMA antenna to device’s MAIN and
AUX antenna connector and twist tightly. Make sure the antenna within the corresponding cellular network
frequency band range and with 50 Ohm impedance.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 0.35 N.m.
RP-SMA female is used for connecting WLAN
SMA male is used for connecting cellular network
