4RF Exposure Information (SAR) for GSM Function This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to radio communications. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial or residential environment.
CE This equipment complies with the requirements set out in the Council Direction on the Approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to Electromagnetic Compatibility (89/336/EEC).

Getting Started Operating Environment and Ruggedness A clean and moisture-free environment is preferred. 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 protection while exposing to harsh environments.
Components and Functions COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS 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.
Components and Functions • Shut down the computer when not to use for a longer time Battery Low When the battery is nearly exhausted, the computer prompts a window warning it. Once the Battery Low warning occurs, please do either or all of the following: 1. Save and close the files you are currently working on 2. Plug in the AC adapter to recharge the battery 3.
