Safety Precautions
For your safety and protection of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, 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 Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is shipped, the battery may be
packaged separate from the unit to avoid damage. When you use the
Braille Sense U2 QWERTY 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 Braille Sense U2 QWERTY has already done
this for you. The battery may not be fully charged when it is shipped.
Before you use the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you should ensure the
battery is fully charged.
3. When you use the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY with the battery for the
first time, the battery status may not be displayed accurately. To avoid
this, leave the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY connected to the AC adapter
for about six hours with the unit turned on. If you want to use the Braille
Sense U2 QWERTY 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 Braille Sense U2 QWERTY by HIMS. Please dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.

5. When you are using the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY 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 15 percent,
connect the AC adapter to the unit for recharging. If the remaining
battery charge drops to five percent, and the unit is not connected to the
AC adapter, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY 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 Braille Sense U2 QWERTY needs to be handled with care. The
Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is a very delicate machine. Please handle
the unit in a proper, careful manner. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is
very sensitive to dust. Make sure to keep the Braille Sense U2
QWERTY away from dusty environments.
7. The Braille cells are very sensitive, intricate parts. If the Braille cells are
not working properly due to the presence of dust or for any other reason,
please contact our repair center, or the dealer from whom you
purchased the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY for support.
8. You should register your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY in order to ensure
further maintenance, service, and upgrade information. Please visit
www.hims-inc.com, to register your information. If you have any trouble
when registering your information, please contact the dealer from whom
you purchased your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY for help.
9. Do not take apart the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY yourself. Do not have
anyone else who is not authorized by HIMS take apart the Braille Sense
U2 QWERTY. If an unqualified person disassembles the unit, serious
damage may occur to the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. If an
unauthorized person disassembles the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, the
unit is excluded from any free maintenance, and the warranty becomes

4
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.
10. Do not leave your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY in closed or high
temperature environments such as inside a car on a hot summer day,
as the battery attached to the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY may be
damaged or catch fire. Please do not let your Braille Sense U2
QWERTY remain in such environments for long periods of time.
