Safety and Compliance Information
Read all instructions and safety information before use to avoid injury.
1.1 - Conventions
In this manual, the following important conventions are used:
Warning Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not
followed, could result in death or serious injury.
Caution Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not
followed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.

C HAPTER 1 : Safety and Compliance Information
1.2 - Warnings
 This device is not a device intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions,
or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals.
 The AC adapter and power cord, available from Ricoh EWS, is foruse with this deviceonly.
Do not use the AC adapter with other equipment. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock,
or injury.
 Do not use this device with any power voltage other than the indicated voltage because it
may cause fire or shock.
 Pull out the power plug immediately if you sense anything unusual such as smoke or an
abnormal odor.
 Unless you are a service representative, do not attempt to service this device. There are no
serviceable parts in tablet. Any attempt to open the tablet will void the warranty, and it will
not be serviced by Ricoh EWS.
 If you touch the metal connector contacts while the cable plug is still connected to the wall
outlet after the main unit is turned off, an electric hazard or short may occur, resulting in fire.
 Before connecting the cable to the wall outlet, be sure to check that the cable connector is
not broken and that the connector is not bent or dirty.
 Do not pull the plug from the wall by the cord.
1.3 - Tablet Orientation
 Please do not operate the tablet face-down in your lap.
 Please do not operate the tablet upside-down in your lap.
Caution Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Caution Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in exposure to RF
emissions that exceed federal standards.

C HAPTER 1 : Safety and Compliance Information
1.4 - Battery Safety
The rechargeable battery in your Ricoh eQuill tablet should be replaced only by an authorized
service provider. Charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° to 95° Fahrenheit
(0° to 35° Celsius).
Use a Ricoh-approved powered USB port charger to charge your battery.
1.5 - Turn Off Wireless Service When Flying
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your device’s wireless
service. Your Ricoh eQuill tablet uses both Wi-Fi and cellular wireless signals, so while on an
aircraft you should not turn your wireless service on unless a crew member has given
permission for passengers to use both Wi-Fi and cellular devices. If you have your wireless
service turned off, you can use your Ricoh eQuill for reading, once a crew member has given
permission for passengers to use electronic devices.
1.6 - Be Careful Around Other Electronic Devices
The Ricoh eQuill tablet generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not
used in accordance with its instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications and electronic equipment. External RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems, entertainment systems, and
personal medical devices.
Caution Failure to follow this safety instruction could result in fire, electric shock, or
other injury or damage.
Caution Failure to follow this instruction could result in a loss of power.
Caution Failure to follow these safety instructions could interfere with the
communication between the airplane and the air traffic controller. Follow all
onboard instructions.

Page 10 Version 1.0.2, Revision 1 | Ricoh eQuill Tablet
C HAPTER 1 : Safety and Compliance Information
While most modern electronic equipment is shielded from external RF signals, if in doubt,
check with the manufacturer. For personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and hearing
aids), consult with your physician or the manufacturer to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF signals.
1.7 - Electrical Artifacts
 Nonhazardous, low-level electrical potentials are commonly observed when using devices.
These potentials are well within accepted safety standards, but may create artifacts on
voltage-sensing equipment such as ECG, EMG, and EEG machines. These artifacts vary. If
the monitoring machine is not operating correctly or has loose or defective connections to
its sensing electrodes, these artifacts may be accentuated so as to simulate actual
physiological signals. To determine if the abnormality in the monitoring equipment is
caused by the Ricoh eQuill tablet device instead of some other source in the environment,
turn the Ricoh eQuill tablet device off. Disappearance of the abnormality indicates that it
was probably caused by the electronic noise generated by the Ricoh eQuill tablet device.
Proper setup and maintenance of the monitoring equipment should eliminate the artifact.
Refer to the appropriate monitoring equipment system documentation for setup and
maintenance instructions.
 The Ricoh eQuill tablet is designed to operate normally in the presence of most encountered
electromagnetic interference (EMI) conditions.
 The 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 other
devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful interference with radio, television,
or other devices, 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 device.
 Increase the separation between the equipment.
 Consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help.
 Portable and mobile RF communications equipment, such as cellular telephones, 2-way
radios, Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, in close proximity to this device may affect
wireless communication.
Caution Failure to follow these safety instructions could interfere with the
communication of other sensitive electronic devices.
