Wi-Fi Connection Support —If you experience any difficulty with Wi-Fi connectivity, troubleshooting suggestions are available at leapfrog.com/support

For Indoor, Dry-Location Use Only —Do not use the product near a sink or other wet locations. Take care not to spill food or any kind of liquid on this product as it may render it inoperable and not serviceable. In case the unit does get wet, unplug all cables and turn it Off. Allow to dry thoroughly before reusing. Do not attempt to dry with a hair dryer or other heat source. Do not re-connect to the AC outlet if wet or damaged.

Handle With Care —To avoid injury, damage to this product or other property, avoid dropping and never disassemble, crush, puncture, microwave, incinerate, insert foreign objects or paint the product. Clean your hands before handling the product if they have been exposed to suntan lotions or other chemicals. Use the included bumper to help minimize damage from typical use and drops.

Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Extreme Temperatures and Direct Sunlight —Operate in places with temperatures ranging from 5°C (40°F) to 38°C (100°F). Do not leave the product in your car as the temperatures in parked cars can exceed the acceptable storage temperature. Exposure to extreme temperatures can result in shortened battery life or cause the product to temporarily stop working.

Battery Charging

The LeapPad® tablet is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery. It will require about 5 hours of charging using the included AC power adapter prior to use. The tablet may also be charged via USB connection; however, this charging method will take much longer.

If the battery is charging when the device is off, a battery meter icon will light up on the dark screen. When the battery meter icon is full, the battery is fully charged. If it is charging when the device is on, the battery meter at the top of the screen will show the charging status and the charge level.

Charge the device in a well-ventilated area only. While charging the device do not cover it with anything such as a blanket, pillow or your child's body. Never allow your child to sleep with or on the device while it is charging. For power or battery issues, please contact LeapFrog Consumer Support.

Cleaning —Disconnect all cords before cleaning. Clean the product with a slightly damp cloth (cold water). Do not use soap, detergent or other chemicals. Never submerge the unit in water. Allow to dry thoroughly before re-use.

Using Connectors and Ports —Never force a USB or other connector into a port on the device. If the connector does not fit into the port, double check the connector and port to ensure they match up and are positioned correctly, and make sure nothing is obstructing the port.

Environmental Phenomena—The LeapPad® tablet may malfunction if subjected to radio-frequency interference. It should revert to normal operation when the interference stops. If not, it may become necessary to turn the power Off and then back On. In the unlikely event of an electrostatic discharge, the unit may malfunction and lose memory, requiring the user to reset the device by turning the power Off and then back On.

Static Electricity and Headphones —In certain dry environments, static electricity can build up in headphones and cause a small quick static discharge when plugging the headphones into a device. To avoid this static discharge from occurring, do not use in extremely dry environments or touch a grounded unpainted metal object to discharge static electricity before connecting the headphones to the device.

Do not connect to the AC wall outlet if wet or damaged.

It is rare but possible for seizures to be triggered by light flashes or patterns. Play/watch in a well-lit room and take 10 to 15 minute breaks every hour.

warning PROTECT YOUR EYE SIGHT: Use the tablet in a well-lit room; take a 20–second break every 20 minutes and look at something far away; take 10 to 15 minute breaks every hour; and do not hold the screen too close to your eyes. If you experience any vision problems, such as blurred vision or eye pain, stop using the tablet and have your eyes checked.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING: Long-term exposure to loud sounds, at high volume, may result in permanent hearing loss. When using headphones or ear buds, it is recommended that the product is listened to at lower volumes for shorter periods of time. Set the volume while in a quiet environment; turn the volume down if you cannot hear people speaking near you. Limit the listening time to 90 minutes, followed by a quiet period. The louder the volume, the less time required before your hearing may be affected. If you experience ringing in your ears or hear muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked.

warning PROTECT YOUR BODY: ERGONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS: When using a tablet device, it is possible that repetition of certain motions or remaining in certain positions over long periods of time may cause discomfort in the hands, neck, shoulders, or other parts of the body. Reduce risk of discomfort and repetitive motion injuries by using the tablet in a comfortable position and taking a 10 to 15 minute break every hour. If you experience any injury or ongoing discomfort, stop use and see a physician.
