Do not use your tablet or accessories near water (for example, near a bathtub or a sink, in a wet
basement or near a swimming pool) or spill liquid of any kind on your tablet or accessories as this
might cause a short circuit, a fire or an electric shock which could cause serious injury, death and
property loss.
Exposure to flashing lights on your tablet can cause epileptic seizures or blackouts. If you or other
users are susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts, consult your physician before you use your
tablet. If you or others experience any disorientation, loss of awareness, twitching, convulsions, or
any involuntary movements, stop using your tablet immediately and consult a physician. The LED
notification light is located on the front of your tablet, next to the camera.
Avoid using your tablet outdoors in direct sunlight as this might cause your tablet to overheat, which
could present a burn or fire risk and damage your tablet. Use of the tablet in direct sunlight could
also reflect sun into your eyes and onto your skin causing eye damage and sunburn.
Do not install your tablet in your vehicle or use it while driving. Using your tablet while driving could
put you and others at greater risk of an accident causing serious injury, death and property loss. You
are responsible for knowing and obeying the laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless
devices in the areas where you drive.
Store your tablet safely before driving your vehicle. Do not use a charging accessory as a means of
storing your tablet while you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not
place your tablet or other objects above the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Improper
storage of your tablet or accessories in your vehicle may result in serious injury, death and property
loss.
Do not use your tablet in the presence of gas fumes as it presents a risk of fire or explosion.
Areas with gas fumes can include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not use or store your tablet in temperatures exceeding 40°C as your tablet might overheat and
may present a burn and fire risk and cease to function.
Do not dispose of your tablet in a fire as this might cause an explosion resulting in serious injury,
death and property loss.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations
prohibit using the radio of wireless devices while in the air. Turn off all wireless connections on your
tablet before boarding an aircraft. Using your tablet on an aircraft might affect aircraft
instrumentation, communication and performance; might disrupt the network; might otherwise be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, its crew and its passengers; and might be illegal.
With all wireless connections on your tablet turned off, use only non-radio based applications in
accordance with airline regulations for electronic devices.
