Protecting the Device To safeguard the integrity of your data as well as the device itself, you can protect them in several ways as described in this section. Using an Anti-Virus Strategy You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage your files.
Taking Care of the Device Location Guidelines ● For optimal performance, use the device where the recommended temperature is between 0 °C and 40 °C . (Actual operating temperature depends on product specifications.) ● Avoid placing the device in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust.
General Guidelines ● Do not place heavy objects on top of the device when it is closed as this may damage the display. ● To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with any sharp object. ● LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time.
Battery Pack Guidelines ● The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will shorten its life: ‒ when frequently charging the battery pack. ‒ when using, charging, or storing in high temperature condition. ● To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to frequently increase its internal temperature.
The device’sinput voltage and surrounding temperature will directly affect the battery pack’scharge and discharge time: ‒ charging time will be prolonged when the device is turned on. To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the Tablet in sleep or hibernation mode.
When Traveling ● Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. ● Make sure that the device is turned off. ● Make sure that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure the waterproof integrity. ● Disconnect the AC adapter from the Tablet and take it with you. Use the AC adapter as the power source and as a battery-charger.
