Important safety and handling information

Plastic bag notice
Danger: Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and children to avoid danger of suffocation.

Caution about high volume usage
Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:

• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

Safety instructions for parents and adult supervisors
The device is not a toy. As with all electrical products, precautions should be observed during handling and using of electrical products to reduce the risk of electric shock. If parents choose to allow children to use the device, they should caution his or her child about the potential hazard while using and handling the mobile device.

Parents should inspect the mobile device (including the ac power adapter and the small part, as applicable) periodically for damage. Routinely check this mobile device to ensure that the device is working properly and is safe for children to use.

Internal rechargeable battery warning
Danger: Do not attempt to replace the internal rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Replacing the original battery with an incompatible type may result in an increased risk of personal injury or property damage due to explosion, excessive heat, or other risks. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack. Attempting to do so can cause a harmful explosion or battery fluid leakage.

When disposing of the battery, comply with all relevant local ordinances or regulations. Do not dispose the battery pack in municipal waste. Dispose used batteries according to the instructions.
The battery pack contains a small amount of harmful substances.
To avoid injury:

• Keep the battery pack away from open flames or other heat sources.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water, rain, or other corrosive liquids.
• Do not leave the battery in an environment with extremely high temperature.
• Avoid short-circuiting the battery pack.
• Keep the battery pack out of reach of small children and pets.
• Do not leave the battery in an environment with extremely low air pressure. It may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas from the battery.

To extend battery life, we recommend charging the battery to at least 30% to 50% capacity each time, and recharging it every three months to prevent over discharge.

Eye Protection and Safety Information
While concentrating on the performance capabilities of its screens, Lenovo also places importance on user’s eye health. This product has received TÜV Rheinland’s “Low Blue Light” certification and can be used with confidence.

Specific Absorption Rate information

THE DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The 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.
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 values under the ICNIRP guidelines for your device model are listed below:

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded.

EU/UK 10g

SAR Limit (2.0 W/kg)

| TB328FU| Body| WLAN, Bluetooth| 1.486 W/kg
EU/UK 10g

SAR Limit (4.0 W/kg)

| Limb| WLAN, Bluetooth| 1.486 W/kg
EU/UK 10g

SAR Limit (2.0 W/kg)

| TB328XU| Body| GSM, WCDMA, LTE, WLAN, Bluetooth| 1.486 W/kg
EU/UK 10g

SAR Limit (4.0 W/kg)

| Limb| GSM, WCDMA, LTE, WLAN, Bluetooth| 1.486 W/kg

The above information is for EU countries and UK. Please refer to the actual product for supported frequency bands in other countries.

During use, the actual SAR values for your device are usually well below the values stated. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of the device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the data connection. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value. If you are interested in further reducing your RF exposure then you can easily do so by limiting your usage or simply using a hands-free kit to keep the device away from the head and body.

Driving precautions. Responsible and safe driving is your primary responsibility when driving a vehicle. Always obey local laws and regulations.

Seizures, blackouts, eye strain and discomfort. This device may display flashing images or loud sounds.

Medical devices. This device may interfere with pacemakers and other medical devices. If you use an implantable pacemaker, defibrillator, or other medical device, please consult your healthcare provider and device manufacturer before using this mobile device. If you use a pacemaker or defibrillator, the FCC recommends that you pay attention to the following precautions:
Always keep this mobile device at least 20 cm (8 inches) away from the pacemaker or defibrillator. Please use the mobile device on the side away from the pacemaker or defibrillator to minimize the possibility of interference.
When you suspect that interference is being caused, the mobile device should be turned off immediately.

Extreme heat or cold. Don’t use your device in temperatures below 0°C or above 40°C. Don’t store/transport your device in temperatures below -20°C or above 60°C.

Operational warnings. Obey all posted signs when using devices in public areas.
Potentially explosive areas: potentially explosive areas are often, but not always, posted and can include blasting areas, fueling stations, fueling areas (such as below decks on boats), fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain dust or metal powders.
Turn off your device before entering such an area and do not charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire.
Hospitals. Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Aircraft. Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft, if your device offers a ‘flight mode’ this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
