FWS-002 Safety and Regulatory Guide
•
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.
•
Do not pierce the battery pack with a sharp object,
strike it with a hammer, step on it, or throw it. These
actions can damage or deform it, internal short-
circuiting can occur, possibly causing it to leak,
overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or ignite.
•
Do not use an apparently deformed or damaged
battery pack, which may leak, overheat, emit smoke,
burst, and/or ignite.
•
Do not directly solder the battery pack. Heat can melt
the insulation and damage other safety features,
possibly causing it to leak, overheat, emit smoke, burst,
and/or ignite.
•
Store the battery pack in a location where children
cannot reach it. Make sure children do not remove the
battery pack from the Tablet PC or charger.
•
If the battery pack leaks, gives off a bad odor, generates
heat, becomes discolored or deformed, or in any way
appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage,
immediately remove it from the Tablet PC or charger
and stop using it. If this is discovered when you first use
the battery, return it to your Xplore reseller or to Xplore
Technologies, if you bought it directly from Xplore..
Regulatory and safety compliance
The following sections describe regulatory and safety
compliance by country and by region.
Note:
To determine which regulatory and safety marks
apply to a specific product, component, or accessory, check
the product label affixed to the product and/or its
components.
Federal Communications Commission
notice (USA)
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any electromagnetic
disturbance that interrupts, obstructs, or otherwise
degrades or limits the effective performance of electronics
or electrical equipment. These emissions can potentially
disrupt, degrade, or otherwise interfere with authorized
electronic emissions, which may include television, AM/FM
broadcasts, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, and
pagers.
The FCC Rules and Regulations have established Radio
Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-
free RF spectrum. Many electronic devices, including
computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended
function and are, therefore, covered by these rules.
Unintentional Emitter per FCC Part 15
The rating label on Motion by Xplore Tablet PCs, docking
stations, and all accessories show which class (A or B) these
devices fall into. Class B devices have an FCC logo (shown
here) or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an
FCC ID on the label. Once you determine the class of the
device, refer to the following corresponding statement and
to the FCC notices in this Safety and Regulatory Guide.
•
Class A is a digital device that is marketed for use in a
commercial, industrial, or business environment,
exclusive of a device that is marketed for use by the
general public or is intended to be used in the home.
•
Class B is a digital device that is marketed for use in a
residential environment notwithstanding use in
commercial, business, and industrial environments.
Examples of such devices include, but are not limited to,
personal computers, calculators, and similar electronic
devices that are marketed for use by the general public.
This device complies with Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful interference.
•
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Class A Equipment
: This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
residential environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instruction manual, may cause interference with radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in
which case you will be required to correct the interference
at your own expense.
Class B Equipment
: 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 when the equipment is operated in a
residential environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instruction manual, may cause interference with 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, you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference with one or more of the following
measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and
the receiver.
•
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for help.
