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 CL920 by Xplore battery or a Xplore-
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),
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.
