Battery Caution
CAUTION!
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same type recommended by the
manufacturer, discard used batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Attention : Danger d'explosion si la batterie est
inexactement remplacée. Remplacez seulement avec la
même chose ou le type recommandé par le fabricant,

Mistreat the battery used in this device may present a
risk of fire or chemical burn.
Do not attempt to disassemble the computer or its
accessories.
Only qualified personal is allowed to replace the battery.
Do not dispose batteries in a fire and check with local
authorities for disposal instructions.
AIM-78S can only be equipped with standard battery
pack with Getac, AIM-BAT-10, 2300mAH Lithium Ion
Battery. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire
or explosion.
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature
whenever you are charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack.
The process is more efficient at normal room
temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you
charge batteries within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C.
Charging batteries outside of the specified range could
damage the batteries and shorten their charging life
cycle.
Storage and Safety Notice
Although charge Lithium-Ion batteries may be left
unused for several months, their capacity may be
depleted due to the buildup of internal resistance. If this
happens they will require recharging prior to use.
Lithium
Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between
-20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more
rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended
to store AIM-78S within normal room temperature
ranges.

Cleaning and Disinfecting
During normal use of the AIM tablet the device may
become dirty and should be regularly cleaned.
Steps:
1. Turn off the AIM-78S and unplug the power
cord.
2. Wipe the screen and exterior with a soft, damp
cloth moistened only with water. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners on the screen, as these will discolor the
finish and damage the screen.
3. Clean the LCD display only with a soft cloth
dampened with 60% above isopropyl alcohol or 60%
above ethyl alcohol each time after use.
Do not immerse or rinse the AIM tablet or its peripherals.
If you accidentally spill liquid on the device, disconnect
the unit from the power source. Contact your IT support
department regarding the continued safety of the unit
before placing it back in operation-Do not spray cleaning
agent on the chassis.
Do not use disinfectants that contain phenol.
Do not autoclave or clean the AIM Tablet or its
peripherals with strong aromatic, chlorinated, ketone,
ether, or ether solvents, sharp tools or abrasives. Never
immerse electrical connectors in water or other liquids.
Operating Principle
The device provides input through touch panel, hard
keys located at the bottom of it, accessories through
USB ports or its LAN/WLAN connections. The device
computes the input data with its processing unit and
then output the generated data to LCD panel,
accessories or other devices through its I/O ports or
through its LAN/WLAN connections. The device is able
to store data in its storage, and when the device is
turned off, still maintain the data in the memory units of
the storage.
Connecting the Power Cord
The AIM tablet can be powered by AC/DC power
adapter. Be sure to always handle the power cords by
holding the plug ends only.
Follow these procedures in order:
1. Connect the DC plug of the power adapter to AIM
tablet product DC in connector. (Step 1)
2. Connect the 2 pin male plug of the power cord to an
electrical outlet. (Step 2)
Disposing of Old Products
Within the European Union
EU-wide legislation, as
implemented in each
member state, requires that
waste electrical and
electronic products carrying
the mark shown at left must
be disposed of separately
from normal household
waste. This includes
