Safety instructions
Certain precautions should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal
injury or damage to the tablet.
General tips
■ When setting up the tablet for work, place it on a level surface.
■ Before you clean your tablet, turn if off, unplug it from its power source,
and remove the battery.
■ Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your tablet. Doing so
can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
■ Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory
module by its edges, not its pins.
■ When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector, not on the cable itself.
As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending
any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both
connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
■ Use of mobile phones can interfere with the sound system. The tablet
operation is not impaired but we recommend that a distance of 12 inches
(30 cm) be maintained between the tablet and the mobile phone.
■ When you move your tablet between environments with very different
humidity or temperature ranges, condensation may form on or within the
tablet. To avoid damaging the tablet, allow sufficient time for the moisture
to evaporate before using the tablet.
■ When traveling, do not check the tablet as baggage. You can put your tablet
through an X-ray security machine, but never put your tablet through a
metal detector. If you have the tablet checked by hand, be sure to have a
charged battery available in case you are asked to turn on the tablet.
■ When traveling, do not place the tablet in overhead storage compartments
where it could slide around.
■ Do not drop your tablet or subject it to other physical shocks.
■ To completely turn off all tablet power, turn the tablet off, remove the
battery, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
