Acer ACTAB821 User manual

• For trac safety, do not use earphones while driving or cycling.
• This product is capable of producing loud noises which may damage your hearing.
It is recommended to place the product at a safe distance from your ear.
Exposure to Radio Waves
• Your mobile is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio
frequency electromagnetic elds) recommended by international guidelines.
• The guidelines were developed by an independent scientic 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
Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg.
• Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. The
highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
• Body SAR : 0.998 W/Kg (10g)
• During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values
stated above. This is because, for purposes of system eciency and to minimize
interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is
automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the
power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Built-in Battery Care
• Your product is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery.
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but will eventually
wear out.
• Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the product when not in use.
• Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging
may shorten its lifetime.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
• Leaving the product in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in the summer
and winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
• Always try to keep your device in a cool, moisture-free environment that’s less
than 32°C. A product with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even
when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
• If you plan to store your device for longer than six months, charge the battery for
an hour every six months to keep it fresh.
• The unit should be fully recharged after using the device each time. This will keep
the health of the battery.

reference.
