02/ Basic Safety Guidelines
The following safety guidelines are intended to help protect the user from injury and prevent
damage to the hardware.
Do not place anything on the AC adapters power cable and make sure the cable is not
located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
Do not cover the AC adaptor as it reduces the cooling
Do not use the AC adapter while it is inside the carrying case.
Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are approved for use with the device.
Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may cause risk of re or explosion.
If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of
all products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the
extension cable.
If the device is moved between environments with very different temperature and/ or humidity
ranges, condensation may form on or within the device. Avoid damaging the device by
allowing sufcient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the device.
When disconnecting cables, pull on the connector or on its strain relief loop, not on the
cable itself. When pulling out or plugging in the connector, keep it evenly aligned to prevent
bending the connector pins.
02.01. Intended Use
The KT-RT-I5 rugged tablet is equipped with multi-functional terminals for stationary and mobile
applications in industrial environments such as logistics, warehousing, eet management,
manufacturing and the automotive industry.
Read the safety guidelines thoroughly before starting any servicing on the device. Read the
guidelines before powering up the device, and keep this document for later use.
The operator is solely responsible for any damage resulting from unauthorized modications to the
device.
Unintended Application Use
The device is not designed for use in life-support systems or critical safety/security systems where
system malfunction can lead to the direct or indirect endangerment of human life. The operator is
fully responsible for using the device in these situations.
02.02. Maintenance and Operation Overview
The KT-RT-I5 is designed and manufactured according to strict controls and following the stated
safety regulations. The following list identies incorrect operating uses of the KT-RT-I5. Incorrect
use of the KT-RT-I5 can lead to hardware damage, safety issues and possible risk to personnel
health:
The KT-RT-I5 is under operation by untrained personnel;
The KT-RT-I5 is not maintained as recommended;
The KT-RT-I5 is not used as intended.
Basic Safety Guidelines

KT-RT-I5 User’s Manual Version 1.0 www.kontron.com
02.03. Safety
To prevent injury and damage, read the following safety guidelines prior to operating the
device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any and all damages arising from misuse or
noncompliance with these guidelines.
02.04. Electrical Hazards
Cleaning/Servicing: Power Off the KT-RT-I5
Disconnect the KT-RT-I5 from power before cleaning or servicing it.
Power Adapter
Contact an authorized service personnel for repairs to the power pack. In the event of a blown
fuse after replacing the fuse, contact an authorized service personnel to avoid electrical shock.
Use only Supplied Power Cables
Kontron power cables meet industrial requirements for low-temperature exibility, UV resistance,
and oil resistance. Use only supplied power cables from Kontron.
If other power cables are used, the following may apply:
The operator is solely responsible for the resulting damage;
All Kontron warranties are void.
Environmental Hazards
Do not use the KT-RT-I5 in locations near/with ammable gases or vapor.
The use of electrical equipment in explosive environments can be dangerous.
Turn off the device when near a gas station, fuel depot, chemical plant or a place where
blasting operations take place.
02.05. Environmental
Ambient Temperature
The KT-RT-I5 operates on the basis of a passive cooling concept which internal waste heat is
released via the housing surface and requires fresh airow in the environment.
Operating the KT-RT-I5 with no fresh cooling air may cause overheating and damage to the
device.
The operating environment should not be enclosed to prevent the cool air being heated by
the heat waste from the device.
Connecting and Disconnecting External Devices
To prevent the considerable damage, the KT-RT-I5 and the external device should be
disconnected from power when connecting/disconnecting excluding USB devices.
Only Use Authorized Accessories
Only use the supplied cables, power packs and other accessories that have been tested and
approved by Kontron. Contact your local distributor for further information.

Radio Frequency Limited Locations
Considering the radio frequency limitation in hospitals and aircraft, the KT-RT-I5 can only be
installed with permission.
Industrial computers may affect the function of implanted medical devices such as pacemakers
and may cause malfunction.
02.07. Cleaning and Servicing
Disconnect the KT-RT-I5 from power before cleaning or servicing.
Never clean the KT-RT-I5 with compressed air, a pressure washer or a vacuum cleaner.

03.09. Touch Screen Features
Always use the point of the digitizer for clicking or making strokes on the touch screen.
Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object on the touch screen.
The digitizer is used as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch the screen with the tip of the digitizer then
remove the digitizer from the screen.
After each use, replace the digitizer in the digitizer holder for proper care and to preserve the life of
the digitizer.
Using a digitizer is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop
computer screen.
The following actions are available through the use of the digitizer:
Open applications
Choose commands in menu
Select options in dialog box or drop-down menu
Drag the scroll bar
Drag across the text to select content
Place the cursor in a text box before typing
A right click is generated by tapping the mouse icon in the system tray. After tapping, the mouse
icon highlights the right button of the icon in red. The next touch screen tap is treated as a right
click. The mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted in red so subsequent taps are treated
as left clicks.
A digitizer replacement kit is available.
To prevent damage or malfunction, always dry the touch screen when wet.
