Hello there.

Attention

Keep the power cord away from young children

• As with all electrical products, precautions should be observed during handling and use to prevent

electric shock. The power supply (adapter) should not be handled by children.

• Do not drop, crush, step on, or otherwise abuse the power supply, battery pack, or power cord.

• Periodically inspect the device, power supply, and power cord for damage. Replace if necessary.

• Report any damage or loose parts to the seller immediately.

• Do not leave the device plugged in or powered on when enclosed in a non-ventiated container (such

as a backpack) as overheating may occur.

• You are encouraged to take a 5-minute break every 30 minutes of use.

Please follow these guidelines for the safe and proper handling of the device, power supply, battery

pack, and power cord.

Safety Precautions

Please read and understand the following precautionary measures before using your device.

CAUTION

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES

ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THIS DEVICE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS NO MORE THAN 95°F.

TO PREVENT POSSIBLE HEARING DAMAGE, DO NOT LISTEN AT HIGH VOLUME LEVELS FOR LONG PERIODS.

1.

Do not place near the re or other sources of heat.

2.

Do not expose to magnetic elds.

3.

Do not place heavy objects on the device.

Like any other mobile device, this device emits radiofrequency (RF) energy from the

WiFi antenna, Bluetooth antenna, and 3G/LTE antennas (if applicable). The device has

passed standard tests by the FCC to ensure that RF radiation is below the maximum

recommended levels.

In addition to RF radiation, all electronic devices emit extremely low frequency

(ELF) waves. These waves are known to interact with the human body, the effects of

which are still being studied. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), no

major risks have been associated with ELF waves as of June 2016. For more detailed

information and the latest developments, please refer to the WHO website: http://

www.who.int/en/.

To limit your exposure to RF radiation, it is recommended that you hold the device

facing yourself or place the device on a desk. If the task does not require use of the

Internet or any communication modules, users can turn off RF radiation completely

by turning on ‘Airplane mode’ on the device. By limiting close range contact with the

devices, and by following the guidelines for operating the devices, you can further

minimize the amount of radiation to which you are exposed.
