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.
x Do not use a damaged battery or charger.
x Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or
shred.
x Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects
into the battery, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.
x Do not put your battery into contact with conductive objects.
x Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning; they may
explode.
x Make sure to use the charger and USB cable only that come together
in the package. If you use the other charger and USB cable, you might
incur malfunction or failure of the Element.
x Only use the battery for the device for which it is specified.
x Only use the battery with a charging device that has been qualified
with the device per this standard. Use of an unqualified battery or
charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
x Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to
contact battery terminals.
x Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
x Battery usage by children should be supervised.
x Avoid dropping the tablet. If the tablet is dropped, especially on a
hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service
center for inspection.
x The closer you are to your network’s base station, the longer your
tablet usage time because less battery power is consumed for the
connection.
x The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining
battery capacity and the battery and charger type you use.
x Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
x Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the tablet from
its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger, once charging
is complete. Leaving the tablet in hot or cold places, especially inside
a car in summer or winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the
battery. Always keep the battery within normal temperatures.
x To prevent injury or burns, ensure that no metal objects come into
contact with the + and – terminals of the battery.
