regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,

FCC regulations.
This device has been tested for FCC RF exposure hand and body SAR compliance
for the user. In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, XPDA-S user
is recommended to have good knowledge on RF exposure. The use of this device
in any other type of host configuration may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided. During operation, a 1.5cm separation
distance should be maintained between the antenna and the user’s/bystander’s
body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) to ensure FCC RF exposure
compliance.

NOTICE
The XPDA-S is equipped with a two Lithium-Ion battery pack for main body and printer/MSR unit.
Also, additional Lithium backup battery is installed inside of main body. When you first start using
the XPDA-S or complete discharge of batteries, it is possible that the XPDA-S may not power-on.
In the above situation, plug the XPDA-S to power adopter and recharge the unit for five hours in
order to fully charge batteries. It is not necessary to power on the XPDA-S in order to charge. When
the XPDA-S is being charged, power LED will light in red color. When it is completely charged it
will change to green.
Main body backup battery can last up-to five minute without the support of main battery. Therefore
in order to prevent data protection failure due to backup battery failure, please recharge the XPDA-S
as often as possible. Do not leave the XPDA-S without connection to AC power adopter for an
extended period of time. Also, getting an extra spare battery can help you save the critical data,
during unexpected power failure.
