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 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), except for a L10 additional battery available from Xplore Technologies, 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
Battery pack disposal 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.
• 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, if you bought it directly from
Xplore.
• Do not transport the lithium ion batteries used in your Tablet PC in checked baggage. You
may take up to two spare batteries in carry-on baggage in addition to the one in your Tablet
PC. Transporting batteries in checked baggage or transporting more than two spare
batteries in carry-on baggage violates transportation law. Remember to remove batteries
from the battery charger before transporting it in carry-on or checked baggage.
