If the feature described does not apply to your unit, please disregard that section. 2 Device Hardware Front Panel Back Panel Removable CF-Cap covers two CompactFlash slots and one SD slot CF-Cap Top View- without Cap Bottom View CompactFlash and SD card slots NOTE: Be sure to read the warranty and safety information in this manual prior to using your unit. PowerBoot coin screws PowerBoot Module Stylus holder Power Serial port USB host CF slot #1 type I External power USB client CF slot #2 type I & II SD Notification LED Hand strap 3 Unit Set Up 1. Attach the PowerBoot Module The PowerBoot Module TM that contains the batteries is shipped detached from the unit. Align the PowerBoot Module with the contacts facing down. Insert the top end of the PowerBoot Module first as shown, and then drop the PowerBoot Module into the unit. Secure by tightening the two screws with the stylus, a coin, or a screwdriver. 2. Attach the hand strap Insert the strap as shown onto the two small bolts located on the back of the unit, near the bottom of the PowerBoot Module. Now stretch the hand strap and insert the other end of the strap onto the two bolts at the top of the unit. 3. Charge your unit The AC charger that ships with your unit comes with adapters to fit almost every electrical outlet and voltage. Connect the correct adapter to the charger, plug the charger into an electrical outlet and plug the DC jack barrel end of the charger into the external power port on the PowerBoot Module. Charge the PowerBoot Module for approximately 4.5 hours. Warning! Be sure to always use the charger included with your unit. Use of other chargers will void your warranty. 4 4. Turning your unit on and off To turn your computer on, press the green Power key on the lower left hand corner of the keypad. To turn the computer off, press the Power key again. One of the most convenient features of the unit is “instant on” and “instant off” that happens every time the Power key is pressed. Also known as “suspend/resume”, it means that there is no waiting for the computer to boot up every time the unit is turned on. “Instant on” does not occur on the first boot-up. 5. Align the touchscreen When the unit first turns on (or after a hard reset) the touchscreen may require alignment. A series of targets is displayed in sequence on the screen. Use the stylus to tap the targets firmly and accurately to align the touchscreen. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat the alignment procedure more than once to provide a satisfactory calibration. 6. Using the CF and SD expansion slots Your unit contains two CompactFlash (CF) slots and one Secure Digital (SD) expansion slot. The SD slot is located within the walls of one of the CF slots. The SD slot is for memory cards only. SDIO devices such as cameras or GPS receivers will not operate in this slot. To access the CF and SD expansion slots, remove the CF-Cap TM . To do this, unscrew the screw on the top of the CF-Cap using the stylus, a coin or a screwdriver as shown, and slide the cap off the main unit. NOTE: When using smaller CF cards (such as memory or Bluetooth), it is critical that you attach a CF Card Pull Tab to the CF card before sliding the card into the slot. A Pull Tab will allow you to easily remove the CF card from the slot. Pull Tabs are part of the accessories included with your unit. Power 5 CF Slot #1 T ype I CF Slot #2 T ype I & II SD With the CF-Cap removed, the 2 CF and 1 SD expansion slots are visible. The CF slots are side by side, and the SD slot can be seen inside the CF slot #2 cavity. To insert a CF or SD card: - CF cards must be inserted with the front of the card facing toward the display side of the unit. CF slot #1 supports Type I cards. CF slot #2 supports Type I and II cards. - SD cards must be inserted with the front of the card facing away from the display. - Again, be sure to attach a Pull Tab to the smaller CF cards (such as memory or Bluetooth) before sliding the cards into the slots. - Gently insert the CF card or SD memory card into one of the two CF slots. Do not force the card into the slot. The pins can be damaged if the card is not aligned correctly. When replacing the CF-Cap, first be sure it is oriented correctly. The stylus holder in the CF-Cap is towards the front of the unit. Replace the CF-Cap and tighten the screw to reseal. The cap should be securely tightened, but do not over-tighten the screw. NOTE: Be sure to correctly orient the CF-Cap when you are reattaching it. The unit is NOT sealed when the cap is off or attached backwards. Water damage caused by improper installation of the CF-Cap is not covered by warranty. 6 Working with Your Unit Using the stylus The touchscreen on your unit works like a mouse on a PC. Use the stylus to navigate and select objects on the screen. Tap: Tap the screen with the stylus to select or open an item. Tapping is equivalent to clicking an item with the left mouse on your PC. Touch and hold: When you touch and hold, a circle of blue dots appears around the stylus to indicate that a pop-up menu will soon appear. Touching and holding is equivalent to right-clicking your PC mouse b…

NORTHWEST EMC, INC. 22975 NW Evergreen Parkway, Suite 400 Hillsboro, OR 97124 July 10, 2005 Dear Application Examiner: On behalf of Tripod Data Systems, Inc., Northwest EMC, Inc. is submitting this application for the certification of Tripod’s Cirronet radio module, FCC ID: S9E- RNGR2410. It is a frequency hopping spread spectrum radio operating in the 2.4 GHz band. The radio module is installed in Tripod’s Ranger X Series handheld computer and is seeking limited modular approval for that mobile host configuration. Ranger X handheld computer will also contain a second radio module (USI) that is currently seeking limited modular approval under FCC ID: S9E-RNGR80BT. It is an 802.11b / Bluetooth combo radio. All radios in the Ranger X can transmit simultaneously – each radio through its own antenna. The Cirronet radio utilizes a single integral antenna. This configuration satisfies the requirements of 47 CFR 15.203. The Cirronet radio was previously certified under FCC ID: HSW-2410M. This new application for certification is required for the co-located exposure condition in Tripod’s Ranger X handheld. However, all the antenna direct connect test data from the previous certification continues to be representative, and is used in support of this application. New radiated spurious emissions data and AC powerline conducted emissions data was taken for Tripod’s Ranger X configuration and is documented in the Northwest EMC test report. The technical reports and exhibits demonstrate compliance with FCC rules 47 CFR 15.247 as a frequency hopping transmitter. Your efforts in reviewing this application are greatly appreciated. Best regards, Northwest EMC, Inc.

NORTHWEST EMC, INC. 22975 NW Evergreen Parkway, Suite 400 Hillsboro, OR 97124 July 10, 2005 Dear Application Examiner: Tripod’s Cirronet radio module, FCC ID: S9E-RNGR2410 is seeking limited modular approval. The radio meets the requirements for limited modular approval as detailed in FCC Public Notice DA00-1407. Compliance to each of the requirements is described below: 1. “The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding.” The radio portion of the module is contained in its own RF shielding. The shielding is installed at the factory. Please see the Internal Photos exhibit. 2. “The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs.” The EUT has buffered data inputs to insure compliance with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. Please see the Schematics exhibit. 3. “The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation.” The EUT has its own power supply regulation to insure compliance with Part 15 requirements regardless of the quality or level of external DC supplying the module from the host unit. Please see Schematics exhibit. 4. “The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c).” The EUT meets the FCC antenna requirements. Please see Antenna information exhibit and internal photos exhibit. 5. “The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration.” The EUT was not tested in a stand-alone configuration. The module was installed in Tripod’s Ranger X Series handheld computer. The Ranger X also contains a 802.11b / Bluetooth combo radio module, FCC ID: S9E-RNGR80BT, that is currently seeking certification. This is why Tripod is seeking limited modular approval of their Cirronet radio module in this host-specific configuration. 6. “The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number.” The EUT is not labeled with its own FCC ID number since it will always be factory installed by Tripod into their Ranger X Series handheld computer. The exterior of the Ranger X is labeled with the EUT’s FCC ID number. Please see FCC ID label & location exhibit. 7. “The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements.” The EUT is compliant with all applicable FCC rules. Detail instructions for maintaining compliance are given in the User Manual. 8. “The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements.” The EUT is compliant with all applicable RF exposure requirements. Please see the RF Exposure exhibit and the User Manual. Please contact me if you have additional questions. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Compliance with 47 CFR 15.247(i) “Systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission's guidelines. See § 1.1307(b)(1) of this chapter.” The EUT will only be used with a separation distance of 20 centimeters or greater between the antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons and can therefore be considered a mobile transmitter per 47 CFR 2.1091 (b). Up to two radio modules can be installed in the EUT – each operating in the 2.4 GHz band: A FHSS radio module, and an 802.11b/Bluetooth combo module. The radios can transmit simultaneously. Each radio transmits through its own antenna. The total transmit power is less than 1.5 W (ERP), therefore the EUT is categorically excluded from routine environmental evaluation per 47 CFR 2.1091(c). The MPE estimates are as follows: Table 1 in 47 CFR 1.1310 defines the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) for the general population. The exposure level at a 20 cm distance from the EUT’s transmitting antenna is calculated using the general equation: S = (PG)/4πR 2 Where: S = power density (mW/cm 2 ) P = power input to the antenna (mW) G = numeric power gain relative to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna (20 cm = limit for MPE estimates) PG = EIRP Solving for S, the maximum power densities 20 cm from the transmitting antennas are summarized in the tables on the following pages: MPE Estimates for Self Co-located Device Antenna Type Antenna Part No. Transmit Frequency Max Peak Conducted Output Power Antenna Gain Minimum Antenna Cable Loss Power Density @ 20 cm General Population Exposure Limit from 1.1310 Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit (MHz)(mW)(dBi)(dB) (mW/cm 2 )(mW/cm 2 ) OmniPW5S-2400-02-04240047.86200.01510.01509 Worst Case Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit = 0.01509 Antenna T ype Antenna Part No.Transmit Max Peak Antenna GainMinimum Power General Ratio of Power (MHz)(mW)(dBi)(dB) (mW/cm 2 )(mW/cm 2 ) ChipANT-2.45-CHP-X240028.180.500.00610.00629 Worst Case Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit = 0.00629 Antenna T ype Antenna Part No.Transmit Max Peak Antenna GainMinimum Power General Ratio of Power (MHz)(mW)(dBi)(dB) (mW/cm 2 )(mW/cm 2 ) ChipANT-2.45-CHP-X24001.760.500.0003910.00039 Worst Case Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit = 0.00039 Per Note 24 shown below, the Sum of Worst Case Power Ratios cannot exceed 1.0 FHSS Radio Worst Case Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit 802.11b Radio Worst Case Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit Bluetooth Radio Worst Case Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit Sum of Worst Case Ratios (Power Density to the Exposure Limit) FCC Limit for Sum of Worst Case Ratios 0.015090.006290.000390.021771.0PASS FHSS Radio Bluetooth Radio FCC ID: S9E-RNGR2410 FCC ID: S9E-RNGR80BT The results shown in the above table are equivalent to the Sum of the EIRP of the Two Co-located Transmitters (EIRP TX1 + EIRP TX2) compared to the exposure limit. The benefit of this method, is that accounts for transmitters operating at different frequencies against different exposure limits. Worst Case Co-located Exposure Condition 802.11 (b) Radio Excerpts from TCB Training, April 3, 2002, “Mobile Transmitters”, Slide 6: “Devices operating in multiple frequency bands ‰ When RF exposure evaluation is required for TCB approval o Separate antennas – estimated minimum separation distances may be considered for the frequency bands that do not require evaluation or TCB approval, however, the estimated distance should take into account the effect of co-located transmitters. (Note 24) Note 24 According to multiple frequency exposure criteria, the ratio of field strength or power density to the applicable exposure limit at the exposure location should be determined for each transmitter and the sum of these ratios must not exceed 1.0 for the location to be compliant .” The sum of the ratios (power density to the exposure limit) does not exceed 1.0; therefore, the exposure condition is compliant with FCC rules.
