EMC and Safety Notice
Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement
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 radiates radio frequency energy and if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, 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:
- Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the supplier or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Any changes or modifications (including the antennas) made to this device that are not
expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an un-
controlled environment. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna during transmitting.
Countermeasures if interference occurs
You are encouraged to do the following if interference occurs while you are operating the
device:
Turn OFF the unit and unplug the AC adapter from the outlet to see if the interference
disappears.
Connect the AC adapter to the outlet in another room and check if the interference still
exists.
Use an outlet that is far away from the interfered appliance.
Re-orient your computer in respect to the interfered appliance to see if there is
improvement.
If all of these failed, please call your supplier for help.

Operating Environment and Ruggedness
If it is necessary to work in a hostile environment, please make sure all ports are
well protected from dust, moisture, or water. Proper isolation from extreme
hazardous exposure is recommended.
The computer is designed with rugged features of vibration, shock, dust, and
rain/water protection. However, it is still necessary to provide appropriate pro-
tection while exposing to harsh environments.
All connectors will decay or corrode if exposed to water or moisture. Corrosion is
accelerated if the power is ON. Please take proper water-resistant measures for
cable connections.
The DC jack is sealed type which may be operated with water splashing while
DC power cord attached. All other port caps should be in place when no cable is
attached. Regularly maintain the computer by cleaning dust, water, etc. will help
keeping it in optimal condition.
There is no isolated compartment for SD slot, PCMCIA slot, and docking. These
ports must be tightly sealed while working with dust and water.
Notice: At low temperature both LCD and battery activity are lower. May
takes up to few minutes for display to become normal, and battery capacity
may decrease.

AC adapter
When using the AC adapter:
-Use a properly grounded AC outlet.
-Use one AC outlet exclusively for the computer. Having other
appliances on the same line may cause interference.
-Use a power strip with built-in surge protection.
The AC adapter automatically detects the AC line voltage (110V or 220V) and
adjusts accordingly.
Battery
The computer will automatically switch to battery power when the external power
source (AC adapter) is disconnected.
Battery Power Saving Tips
-Turn OFF the LCD backlight when it is visible with external light.
-Lower the intensity of the backlight.
-Shut down the computer when not to use for a longer time.
Battery Low
When the battery is nearly exhausted, the computer prompts a warning window.
Once the Battery Low warning occurs, please do either or all of the following:
Save and close the files you are currently working on.
Plug in the AC adapter to recharge the battery.
Swap a charged battery.
Charge Battery
Plug in AC adapter will charge the battery automatically. If the battery is
already full, the system will stop charge automatically.
Dock to optional cradle + adapter will charge battery, too. Cradle has a
battery slot to charge another battery simultaneously.
