Power adapter precautions
•
Use only the AC adapter and power cord approved for
this Tablet PC or Tablet PC accessory. Use of another
type of AC adapter may risk fire or explosion.
•
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as on a
desktop or the floor, when you use it to run the Tablet
PC or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter
with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also,
do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying
case.
•
Ensure that nothing rests on the AC adapter’s power
cable and that the cable is not located where it can be
tripped over or stepped on.
•
Ensure that the outlet is near the equipment and is
easily accessible.
•
Disconnect power cords and cables by grasping the
connector, not by pulling on the cable itself. As you pull
out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. Before you connect a
cable, make sure both connectors are correctly aligned.

Battery pack warnings and precautions
•
The Tablet PC contains an internal lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery pack. Replace the internal battery pack only
with a Motion battery or a Motion-recommended
equivalent to avoid the risk of fire or explosion resulting
in personal injury.
•
Do not use the battery pack in combination with other
types of battery packs (such as dry-cell battery packs),
except for a R12 additional battery available from
Motion Computing, or battery packs with different
capacities or brands. This can result in it being over-
discharged during use or overcharged during
recharging, possibly causing it to leak, overheat, emit
smoke, burst, and/or ignite.
•
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode.
Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. The label on the battery
lists the manufacturer’s name. See the section “Battery
pack disposal” on page 4 for more information about
battery disposal.
•
Do not use or leave the battery pack near a heat source.
Heat can melt the insulation and damage other safety
features, possibly causing it to leak, overheat, emit
smoke, burst, and/or ignite.
•
Do not immerse the battery pack in water or allow it to
get wet. Its protective features can be damaged; it can
be charged with extremely high current and voltage,
and abnormal chemical reactions may occur, possibly
causing it to leak, overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or
ignite.
•
Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. If
disassembled, the battery pack can leak, overheat, emit
smoke, burst, and/or ignite.
•
Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals with a metal object such as wire. Short-
circuiting may occur causing the battery pack to leak,
overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or ignite.
