result.
•If battery fluid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash with
running water. Otherwise, skin inflammation can occur.
•Operate the Tablet at the recommended temperature range of +5˚C to
+35˚C (+41˚F to +95˚F). Store it at a temperature of -20˚C to +60˚C
(-4˚F to +140˚F).
Adapter Warnings
See the installation instructions before connecting the power supply
(refer to “Charging the Battery” on page 5).
•When using your adapter, make sure to position it around objects so it
will not be cut or damaged.
•Use only the AC adapter that is approved for use with this Tablet. Use
of another type of adapter may risk fire or explosion.
•Before you connect the Tablet to a power source, ensure that the
voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power
source:
¾220 V/50 Hz in China.
¾115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan.
¾100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan.
¾100 V/60 Hz in western Japan.
¾230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far
East.
•If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the
total ampere rating of the products plugged into the extension cable
does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
•Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce
cooling. Also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying
case.
•To remove power from the Tablet, turn it off, remove the battery, and
disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
Battery Pack Warning
•Do not carry the battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container
where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery
terminals. The resulting current flow can cause extremely high
temperatures and may result in damage or injury from burns.
•There is a danger of explosion if the battery pack is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery
recommended by the manufacturer.
•Do not dispose of battery pack near a heat source. Heat can melt the
insulation and damage other safety features, possibly leading it to leak
acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and /or ignite.
•Do not immerse the battery pack in water or allow it to get wet. Its
protective features can be damaged, it can be charged with extremely
A7InternetTablet–UserManualv1.3 Page1

ignite.
•Do not crush, disassemble, puncture, incinerate or short circuit
external contacts of the battery pack.
•Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with a metal
object such as wire. Short-circuiting may occur, leading the battery
pack to leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
•Do not use an apparently deformed or damaged battery pack, which
may leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
•If the battery pack leaks fluid, gives off a bad odor, generates heat, or
becomes discolored, immediately remove it from the Tablet or charger
and stop using it.
Battery Pack Disposal
•Dispose of the lithium ion battery packs only at approved disposal
sites. To locate an appropriate site, contact the solid waste disposal
officials where you live or look for a rechargeable battery recycling
website that lists disposal locations near you.
•Do not dispose of battery packs in a fire, throw them in a trash
receptacle, put them in a recycling bin not intended for their disposal,
or otherwise discard them in a manner that may result in their being
hazardous to the environment.
