subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, inclu-
ding interference that may cause undesired operation.
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
7.1 FCC Notice
The device may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to
receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the mobile device
if such interference cannot be eliminated.

1. This device may not cause interference
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that my
cause undesired operation of the device.
9. Repair
Repairs are to be conducted by ecom instruments GmbH or by personnel or
service centers authorized by ecom instruments GmbH only, due to the safety
of the device needs to be tested after repairs are implemented. The actual
repair report sheet can be downloaded from the service area at
www.ecom-ex.com.
10. Inserting the SIM card (LTE/WWAN model only) and microSD card
1. Remove the Ex-Protective Cover and then the Rear Cover of the device.
2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment.

- the microSD card into the SD card slot. Both slots are labeled.
4. Insert the battery again.
5. Attach the Rear Cover and make sure all mounts are rmly attached.
6. Attach the Ex-Protective Cover.
11. Charging the tablet computer
Charging the tablet computer is allowed only outside hazardous areas!
The battery of the tablet computer is delivered not fully charged. It is
recommended to charge the tablet computer’s battery for ve hours before
using it for the rst time. The full capacity of the battery is reached after 3 - 4
complete charge / discharge cycles.
Note:
• There is a risk of explosion if the device is exposed to a ame.
• Only use ecom-approved chargers.
At the end of its lifetime, the supplied lithium-ion battery must be recycled or
disposed of separately from household waste. Don’t incinerate the battery.

8
12. Safety precautions for the battery
Damaged batteries and chargers should be removed from use and sent to
ecom instruments GmbH for inspection.
Note:
• Extreme temperatures can have an adverse effect on charging the battery.
• Do not dispose of the device in a re.
• Dispose of the device in accordance with local regulations and not with
normal household waste.
A high quality lithium-ion battery is used in your Tab-Ex®02. These batteries
have numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a low weight and high
capacity in a nevertheless compact construction. In addition these batteries
also exhibit practically no memory effect. However, these batteries are su-
sceptible to a natural aging process which impairs their functionality.
Modern batteries today have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which,
when used daily, corresponds to a service life of approximately two years. The
ageing process increases rapidly after this period, which means that the bat-
teries are deemed technically defective after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the
battery cells could expand and cause irreparable damage to your device in a
worst case scenario. For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium cells
should be replaced after two years at the latest or after reaching a battery
capacity that is 50% of its initial value.
Note:
The battery used in this unit poses a re hazard and can cause chemical in-
juries if it is used improperly. Neither the battery nor the battery cells should
be opened or disassembled and they should not be burned or exposed to
temperatures exceeding 100 °C.
13. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
• Only use a suitable cloth or sponge to clean the tablet computer.
• Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaning agents when cleaning.
• It is recommended that you have the functionality and accuracy of the pho-
ne inspected by the manufacturer every two years.
• Do not exceed the permissible storage temperature range
of -20 °C to +60 °C

14. Disposal
Old electrical devices by ecom instruments GmbH will be directed to disposal
at our expense and disposed of free of charge in accordance with European
Directive 2002/96/EC. Please follow local regulations for the disposal of
electronic products.
The costs associated with returning devices to ecom instruments GmbH are
to be borne by the sender.
In accordance with Article 1, Section 18 and Article 2 of the Act revising the
law of Waste-Related Product Responsibility for Batteries and Accumulators
(Gesetz zur Neuregelung der abfallrechtlichen Produktverantwortung für
Batterien und Akkumulatoren) dated 25 June 2009, we are obligated to provi-
de the following information.
Your device contains a rechargeable lithium battery.
Depleted batteries or rechargeable batteries that can no longer be rechar-
ged should never be disposed of along with normal or household waste. Old
batteries can contain harmful substances that are hazardous to health and
damaging to the environment. Please return the batteries/rechargeable
batteries. Return is free of charge and required by law. Please only dispose of
discharged batteries in the designated containers and tape the terminals of
lithium batteries.
Note: The battery used in this unit poses a re hazard and can cause chemi-
cal injuries if it is used improperly. Neither the battery nor the battery cells
should be opened or disassembled and they should not be burned or exposed
to temperatures exceeding 100 °C. If the battery needs to be disposed of, it
can be removed as described under point (7). The disposal regulations speci-
ed above are also applicable for old devices. All batteries and rechargeable
batteries can be recycled. Precious raw materials such as iron, zinc and
nickel can therefore be reused.
The symbol has the following meaning: Old electrical devices should not
be disposed of along with normal or household waste.

Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using it for the rst time or when it has been
unused for extended periods.
Use only ecom-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved
chargers or cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.

• Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the de-
vice. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
• Use only USB Type-C cable supplied with the device. The device may be
damaged if you use Micro USB cable.
To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does
not have a power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric
socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain
close to the electric socket and easily accessible while charging.
1Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor.
2Plug the USB cable into the device’s multipurpose jack.
3 Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.

20
4After fully charging, disconnect the charger from the device. Then, unplug
the charger from the electric socket.

Do not remove the battery before removing the charger.
This may damage the device.
Reducing the battery consumption
Your device provides various options that help you conserve battery power.
• Optimise the device using the device maintenance feature.
• When you are not using the device, turn off the screen by pressing the
Power key.
• Activate power saving mode.
• Close unnecessary apps.
• Deactivate the Bluetooth feature when not in use.
• Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature when not in use.
• Deactivate auto-syncing of apps that need to be synced, such as emails.
• Decrease the backlight time.
• Decrease the screen brightness.
Battery charging tips and precautions
• When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.
• If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on
immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to
charge for a few minutes before turning on the device.
• If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a
connection to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing
power during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the
battery.
• Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may
result in a slower charging speed due to a lower electric current.
• The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully
charge the battery.
• If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch-
screen may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the
device.
