Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive
2002/95/EC.
The above mentioned directive was published on 2/13/2003. The main purpose
of the directive is to prohibit the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent
chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDE) in electrical and electronic products. Member states of the EU
are to enforce by 7/1/2006.

exceed 0.01% by weight, per homogenous material. Homogenous material is
dened as a substance or mixture of substances with uniform composition (such
as solders, resins, plating, etc.). Lead-free solder is used for all terminations
(Sn(96-96.5%), Ag(3.0-3.5%) and Cu(0.5%)).

Preface
Rechargeable Battery Pack Safety
With very little care, you can optimize the battery life and maximize the lifespan
of the battery. Most importantly, use only the device in its ideal operating
temperature (refer to 1.6 Specifications on page 10) – do not leave it in a hot
trunk during the summer.
•Important Terms to Understand
“Battery life” means the time the device will run before it must be recharged
(sometimes this is also called “playtime” or “runtime”).
“Battery lifespan” means the total amount of time your battery will last before it
must be replaced.
•Using the Device for the First Time
Be sure to fully charge (approx. 3 hours) the device when charging the device
for the rst time.
•Long-Term Storage & Maintenance
If you are putting away the device for more than three months, it is recommended
that get recharged every three months. If you store with an uncharged battery, it
could fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it incapable of holding
any charge. Be sure to store the device at the proper temperature (see as 1.6
Specifications on page 10).
•Battery Lifespan
The non-replaceable batteries for the device are designed to retain up to 80%
of their original capacity after 300 charging and recharging cycles when properly
maintained. You may choose to replace new battery with the help of qualied
service personnel when it no longer holds the su󰀩cient charge that meets your
needs.
•The lithium-ion battery is currently one of the most popular battery packs.
The best advantage is that it has no memory e󰀨ect, so users needn’t worry about
that issue. Users can charge the battery anytime whether it is fully drained or not.
However, it’s recommended that users drain the battery until the system shows
power shortage warning and then recharge the battery. Doing so is helpful to the
reliability of your battery.
•Don’t expose the battery to elevated heat situations such as under direct
sunlight in a car or near re.

- x -
Preface
•Don’t disassemble the battery, or the battery leakage might cause skin or eye
injury. If electrolyte leaking from the battery contacts your skin or clothing,
immediately ush it with running water. If it splashes into eye, rinse the eye
at least 15 minutes with clean water and then seek medical attention.
•To avoid battery leakage or explosion, don’t discard the battery into water or
re, or put them near a heat source such as a gas stove or an oven.
•If you are putting away the battery for more than three months, it is
recommended that the battery should be fully charged, and get recharged
every three months. If you store the device with an uncharged battery, it
could fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it incapable of
holding any charge. Be sure to store your the device and battery at the
proper temperature (refer to 1.6 Specifications on page 10).
•The battery consists of precise electrical components and cells. Do not drop
or hit the battery.
General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the device.
When you clean any single part or component for the device, please thoroughly
read and understand the details below.
1. We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before
you start to clean any single components.
2. When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.
3. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum
cleaner to absorb the dirt on the oor.
4. Never drop the components inside the device or get circuit board damp or
wet.
5. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it
for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
6. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the device.

Preface
Cleaning Tools
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process
of cleaning your devices and peripherals, users can also use household items to
clean their devices and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may need or
want to use while cleaning your devices or peripherals. Keep in mind that some
components in your device may only be able to be cleaned using a product
designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in
the cleaning.
• Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component.
Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well,
we still recommend you to rub it with a piece of cloth.
• Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with
some water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the device. Unknown solvents
may be harmful to the plastics parts.
• Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other
particles out of the device can be one of the best cleaning methods. Over
time, these items can restrict the airow in a device and cause circuitry to
corrode.
• Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard, mouse,
and other locations.
• Foam swabs: Whenever possible, it is better to use lint-free swabs such
as foam swabs.
Recommended Cleaning Procedures
1. Close all application programs
2. Close operating software
3. Turn o󰀨 the equipment
4. Remove all peripherals
5. Disconnect the power cable
6. Proceed to clean.

Preface
Disposing of the Equipment
•Within the European Union
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State,
requires that waste electrical and electronic products carrying
the mark (left) must be disposed of separately from normal
household waste.
This includes monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or
power cords. When you need to dispose of your display products, please
follow the guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you
purchased the product, or if applicable, follow any agreements made between
yourself. The mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the
current European Union Member States.
•Outside the European Union
If you wish to dispose of used electrical and electronic products outside the
European Union, please contact your local authority so as to comply with the
correct disposal method.
