iX101T1 User’s Handbook

Radio signals from your tablet will not affect the operation of most modern equipment,
but certain electronic equipment, including automotive systems, may not be shielded
against radio signals from your tablet. Check with the manufacturer of your motor
vehicle or the manufacturer’s representative to determine whether using the tablet will
present any safety issues.
Avoid using the tablet in any environment that requires your full attention, such as
when driving a vehicle. If you need to use your tablet while driving, have a passenger
use it for you or find a safe location to halt your vehicle.
WARNING BATTERIES
Use only battery types specified in this handbook. Using any other type of battery can be
dangerous and can disable the tablet. Do not drop or mishandle the batteries, immerse them in water, or subject
them to high heat. Doing so could increase the risk of explosion or leakage, and possibly cause injury. The lithium-
ion batteries used in this equipment contain material that is hazardous to your health. If battery contents come in
contact with the eyes, IMMEDIATELY flush the affected area with clean water for 15 minutes and have someone
else summon medical attention for you. Unaffected persons should assist the affected individual in the vital first
flushing of the eyes. RECHARGING THE BATTERY MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT IN ANON-HAZERDOUS
AREA USING THE SUPPLIED ac ADAPTOR. The definition of hazardous areas can be found in Standard EN
60079-10.
WARNING
When operating the tablet in a known explosive environment do not remove or replace
the battery while the circuit is live. Before removing the battery verify that the area is
known to be free of ignitable concentrations of flammable substances.

WARNING
Do not use any dock or any other accessory or attachment that is not manufactured or
supplied by Xplore or an authorized Xplore accessories supplier. Use of any accessory or
attachment that is not supplied or approved for use with the tablet by Xplore is not
permitted because it may cause hazards.
Operate the tablet only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
(See page 54 for more information about the battery and power supply.) Route power
supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs and convenience
receptacles, and at the point where cords exit from the tablet or its dock. Do not
overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles because this
can cause fire or electric shock.
Unplug the tablet and refer the tablet and dock for service to qualified service personnel
if any of the following conditions occur:
■The power supply cord or plug is damaged.
■The tablet or dock does not operate normally when you follow the instructions in
this book.
■The tablet or dock exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Adjust only controls for which there are instructions in this book. An improper
adjustment of other controls can result in damage and may require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the tablet or dock to normal operation.
CAUTION
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the exposed metal surfaces on the front and
back of the tablet. While the tablet may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain
physical contact with the tablet for a long time (for example, if you rest the tablet on
your lap for a long time), your skin may suffer low-heat injury. In addition, be careful
when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time, because the card
may be hot.
