Traveling with Your XSLATE R12 Tablet PC
Use the following tips when you travel with your XSLATE R12 Tablet PC:
• Put the Tablet PC in a case to protect the display. Xplore Technologies® sells a variety of
cases for the XSLATE R12. You can purchase one at the
Xplore Accessories.
• Store the pen in the pen bay located on the right side of the tablet.
• Pack the Tablet PC securely in a briefcase or hand-carried luggage and keep it separate
from toiletries, liquids, and food. Don’t pack it in checked luggage.
• Before extended use in the field or long trips away from AC power, adjust the power
properties to maximize battery conservation. See C
HANGING THE POWER PLAN on page 48.
• For international travel, use the appropriate power cord for your destination’s electrical
outlets. You don’t need to buy a voltage converter; the Xplore AC adapter will
automatically adjust to different voltages.
• You might want to carry proof of ownership or a merchandise passport when traveling
internationally.
• Consult your insurance and credit card companies to learn about emergency travel
assistance in case your Tablet PC becomes lost or disabled.
• IMPORTANT: Don’t carry your tablet through a metal detector.
• Turn off the Tablet PC or place it in Hibernation mode for airplane takeoff and landing.

very hot, which can cause the Li-ion battery to overheat and result in a possible explosion.
