Keep the product at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as TV, refrigerator,

motor, or a large audio speaker.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the xTablet Flex 8 as this may damage the display.

The screen surface can be scratched. Do not use paper towels to clean the display. It is best to use a touch screen cleaning cloth. Avoid

touching it with a pen or pencil.

To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using a

screen saver or other software that prevents the power management from working.

Cleaning Guideline

Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the product.

Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or detergent on the product.

Touchscreen Guideline

Use your finger or the stylus on the display. Using sharp or metallic object may cause scratches and damage the display, thereby causing

errors.

Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not

using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen surface. To clean off hard to remove dirt, blow some

steam on the particular area and gently wipe away using a soft cloth.

Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break.

When there is a noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen function (your touch does not correlate to the proper location on the

screen), recalibrate the touchscreen.
