Handling and Maintenance

General Guideline

• Keep the product at least 13 cm (5 inches)away from electrical appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the tablet computer as this may damage the display.
• The screen surface can be easily scratched. Use with care. Do not use paper towels to clean the display but use the included cleaning cloth. Avoid touching it with a pen or pencil.
• To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power management from working.

Cleaning Guideline

• Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a non-alkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the product.
• Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or detergent on the product.

Touchscreen Guideline

• Use your finger or the stylus on the display. Using sharp or metallic objects may cause scratches and damage to the display, thereby causing errors.
• Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen surface. To clean off hard-to-remove dirt, blow some steam on the particular area and gently wipe it away using a soft cloth.
• Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break.
• When there is a noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen function (your touch does not correlate to the proper location on the screen), recalibrate the touchscreen display.
