keypad and a few other intuitively placed buttons rather than using a touch screen!
Before using the Blaze ET, you should read the entire manual to familiarize yourself
with the functions of the Blaze ET. The Blaze ET contains many programs with a variety
of functions, thus, reading the entire manual will allow you to operate the Blaze ET to its
fullest potential.

Safety Precautions
For your safety and protection of the Blaze ET, please read and abide by the following
safety precautions.
1. The input voltage of the AC adapter is 100V - 240V, and the output is DC 5V / 2A.
2. When the Blaze ET is shipped, the battery may be packaged separate from the unit
to avoid damage. When you use the Blaze ET for the first time, you may need to
open the package, remove the battery, and insert it into the battery slot at the rear
panel of the unit. (See section 1, introduction, for more details on inserting the
battery.) It is possible that the dealer or distributor from whom you purchased the
Blaze ET has already done this for you. The battery may not be fully charged when it
is shipped. Before you use the Blaze ET, you should ensure the battery is fully
charged.
3. When you use the Blaze ET with the battery for the first time, the battery status may
not be displayed accurately. To avoid this, leave the Blaze ET connected to the AC
adapter for about three hours with the unit turned on. If you want to use the Blaze ET
immediately, you may use it while it is charging.
4. If you want or need to remove the battery from the unit, power the unit off, and then
remove the battery. If the unit is connected to AC power, before re-inserting the
battery in to the unit, make certain that the power is off.
There is a risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Please make
certain to use only battery packs produced specifically for the Blaze ET by HIMS.
Please dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

5. When you are using the Blaze ET on battery power, the status of the remaining
battery power is announced when the battery charge is low. When the battery’s
charge falls below 10 percent, connect the AC adapter to the unit for recharging. If
the remaining battery charge drops to three percent, and the unit is not connected to
the AC adapter, the Blaze ET shuts down one minute after the announcement of the
battery’s status. The amount of battery life per charge varies depending on the
options you have set and the number and type of tasks you are running.
6. Your Blaze ET needs to be handled with care. The Blaze ET is a very delicate
machine. Please handle the unit in a proper, careful manner. The Blaze ET is very
sensitive to dust. Make sure to keep the Blaze ET away from dusty environments.
7. Do not use the Blaze ET in a moisture-rich environment such as a bathroom or
shower. This is to prevent damage caused by moisture getting into the device. Do
not touch the AC adapter with wet hands.
8. Do not leave your Blaze ET in closed or high temperature environments such as
inside a car on a hot summer day, as the battery attached to the Blaze ET may be
damaged or catch fire. Please do not let your Blaze ET remain in such environments
for long periods of time.
9. To prevent possible damage to your hearing, do not listen to audio at high volume
levels for long periods.
10. Do not take apart the Blaze ET yourself. Do not have anyone else who is not
authorized by HIMS take apart the Blaze ET. If an unqualified person disassembles
the unit, serious damage may occur to the Blaze ET. If an unauthorized person
disassembles the Blaze ET, the unit is excluded from any free maintenance, and the
warranty becomes void. If any liquid or external force damages the unit, it may also
be excluded from free maintenance, even if the damage occurs during the warranty
period.
