- 3. 3 4 Safety information for tablet Safety and use We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your device. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein. • TRAFFIC SAFETY Given that studies show that using a device while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using their device when the vehicle is not parked. When driving, do not use your device or headphone to listen to music or to the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas. When switched on, your device emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem: - Do not place your device on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area, - Check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the dashboard is adequately shielded from device RF energy. • CONDITIONS OF USE You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to optimize its performance. Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft. Switch the device off when you are in healthcare facilities, except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, these devices can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequencies. Switch the device off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere. When the device is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump, etc. In particular when using the device, you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any. To avoid hearing impairment, move the device away from your ear while using the hands-free mode because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage. Do not let children use the device and/or play with the device and accessories without supervision. Please note that your device is a unibody device, the back cover and battery are not removable. Do not attempt to disassemble your device. If you disassemble your device the warranty will not apply. Also disassembling the device may damage the battery, and may cause leakage of substances that could create an allergic reaction. Always handle your device with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place. Do not allow your device to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The manufacturer's recommended operating temperature range is -0°C to +45°C. At over 45°C the legibility of the device’s display may be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious. Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your device yourself. Do not drop, throw or bend your device. Do not use the device if the glass made screen is damaged, cracked or broken to avoid any injury. Do not paint it. Use only battery chargers and accessories which are recommended by TCL Communication Ltd. and its affiliates and are compatible with your device model. TCL Communication Ltd. and its affiliates disclaim any liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers or accessories. Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all important information stored in your device. Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, or when playing video games. These seizures or blackouts may occur even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing video games on your device or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your device.

It is the user's sole responsibility to ensure that prior authorization be obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential conversations or take a photograph of another person; the manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your device (including the operator) disclaim any liability which may result from the improper use of the device.
- 5. 7 8 - Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Risk of explosion if battery replaced by an incorrect type. This symbol on your device, the battery and the accessories means that these products must be taken to collection points at the end of their life: - Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these items of equipment. - Collection bins at points of sale. They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that their components can be reused. In European Union countries: These collection points are accessible free of charge. All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points. In non-European Union jurisdictions: Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling and collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled. • CHARGERS Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of 0°C to 40°C. The chargers designed for your device meet with the standard for safety of information technology equipment and office equipment use. They are also compliant to the eco design directive 2009/125/EC. Due to different applicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdiction may not work in another jurisdiction. They should be used for this purpose only. The charger shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. Radio waves THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model is: Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded: Body worn 2.4GHz WLAN 1.07 W/Kg During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value. Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 0 mm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body. If you are not using an approved accessory, ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the device the indicated distance away from the body. Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head or body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent on the device.
