IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Read all the safety information below before using your Tablet. For additional information, read the User Manual available directly through an application in your Tablet. DRIVING SAFELY Use of your Tablet while driving may cause distractions and may be prohibited in some places. Always comply with local laws and regulations when driving. Driving safely is your primary responsibility, but if using your Tablet, NEVER type or read email or messages, navigate on the web or perform any other activity that takes your attention from driving. ALWAYS keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel, use voice-activated commands and focus on your driving. SEIZURES/BLACKOUTS Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes when exposed to flashing lights such as when playing games or watching video, even if those conditions have not been previously diagnosed. If you or anyone in your family has a history of seizures or strokes, or if you have any other reason to think you or someone under your supervision may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes, consult a doctor before playing games or watching video. If you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation stop using your Tablet and consult a doctor. To reduce risk hold your Tablet at a distance from your eyes, use it in a well-lit room, take frequent breaks and stop if you are tired. WARNING ABOUT HEARING DAMAGE Exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing causing hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). With continued exposure to loud noises, ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which may result in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable discomfort. Loud Sounds + Time = Hearing Loss The more time you spend exposed to loud sounds, the more likely you are to damage your hearing. • Limit the amount of time you spend using headphones, or earpieces. • Do not turn up the volume to block out surrounding noise. • If you can't hear people speaking, turn down the volume. If you experience a sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech or believe you may have experienced noise induced hearing loss, you should have your hearing checked by an ear doctor. REPETITIVE MOTION Repetitively performing actions such as pressing keys or typing, may result in occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Take breaks often and if you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a doctor. GLASS PARTS Your Tablet may contain glass parts. Dropping your Tablet on a hard surface or a substantial impact to your Tablet could break this glass. If the glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it. Stop using your Tablet until the glass is replaced by an authorized service center.
