Appendix
While this tablet has superior protection against accidental contact with
water than devices with lower IP ratings, it is NOT intended to be used
underwater or in the water.
Before using the tablet, read the followings carefully: if you use the tablet
without following cautions below, water, dust or foreign substances can
incur fire, electric shock, injury, or malfunction of the tablet.
1. Your tablet can malfunction if it is exposed to water projected at any
angle through a 6.3 mm nozzle at a flow rate of 12.5 liters per minute
for more than 3 minutes from a distance of 2.5–3 meters.
2. Water can soak into the tablet and incur malfunction if it is
submerged in water at a depth of 1 meter for more than 30 minutes.
3. Your tablet can malfunction if it is exposed to equipment for more
than 8 hours that emits dust with diameter less than 75µm.
4. All external connections must be properly covered.
5. If the speaker and/or microphone are physically damaged, this may
undermine the waterproof function and cause malfunction or a slow
down of the reaction time of your tablet.
6. Waterproof function can be undermined if external shock incurs
damage to the tablet.
7. If your tablet is exposed to liquids other than water, e.g. soft drink,
alcohol, or milk, it may become sticky in time and cause malfunction
of the tablet.
8. It is recommended that you replace the USB and earphone ports
every 12 month to maintain the waterproof integrity of your tablet.
9. The touch screen may not work if the touch screen is moist, or if you
tap the touch screen with wet hands.
10. The sound quality of your tablet can be adversely affected if your
tablet is not dried completely. It is recommended that you completely
dry your tablet before using it.
11. If your tablet contains water drops and gets exposed to below
freezing conditions, the droplets will freeze and may cause
malfunction.
12. Accessories are not impervious to water or any other liquids.
Note Keep in mind the above cautions when using your tablet: your tablet cannot
be guaranteed under the warranty if you have incurred malfunction of the tablet
because you have not followed the cautions.
About battery usage
Your tablet is powered by a Lithium Polymer battery. This means that,
unlike other forms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery
while some charge remains without reducing your tablet’s autonomy due
to the “battery memory effect” inherent in those technologies.
