IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read all the safety information below before using your Tablet. For
additional information, read the User Manual available directly through
an application in your Tablet.
DRIVING SAFELY
Use of your Tablet while driving may cause distractions and may be
prohibited in some places. Always comply with local laws and regulations
when driving. Driving safely is your primary responsibility, but if using
your Tablet, NEVER type or read email or messages, navigate on the
web or perform any other activity that takes your attention from driving.
ALWAYS keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel, use
voice-activated commands and focus on your driving.
SEIZURES/BLACKOUTS
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes when
exposed to flashing lights such as when playing games or watching
video, even if those conditions have not been previously diagnosed.
If you or anyone in your family has a history of seizures or strokes,
or if you have any other reason to think you or someone under your
supervision may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes, consult
a doctor before playing games or watching video. If you experience
headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss
of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation stop using your
Tablet and consult a doctor. To reduce risk hold your Tablet at a distance
from your eyes, use it in a well-lit room, take frequent breaks and stop
if you are tired.
WARNING ABOUT HEARING DAMAGE
Exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing causing hearing loss
and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). With continued exposure to
loud noises, ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which
may result in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable
discomfort.
Loud Sounds + Time = Hearing Loss
The more time you spend exposed to loud sounds, the more likely you are
to damage your hearing.
• Limit the amount of time you spend using headphones, or earpieces.
• Do not turn up the volume to block out surrounding noise.
• If you can’t hear people speaking, turn down the volume.
If you experience a sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing
in your ears, or muffled speech or believe you may have experienced
noise induced hearing loss, you should have your hearing checked by
an ear doctor.
REPETITIVE MOTION
Repetitively performing actions such as pressing keys or typing, may
result in occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or
other parts of your body. Take breaks often and if you continue to have
discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a doctor.
GLASS PARTS
Your Tablet may contain glass parts. Dropping your Tablet on a hard
surface or a substantial impact to your Tablet could break this glass. If the
glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it. Stop using your Tablet
until the glass is replaced by an authorized service center.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When you are in an area with potentially explosive atmosphere turn off
your Tablet. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries to avoid creating
sparks that can cause an explosion or fire resulting in serious injury or
even death. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but
