Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully and follow all instructions given.
The instructions will help you to operate the device reliably and
help increase its service life. Always keep these operating
instructions handy but store them safely so that you can pass them
on to a new owner should you sell the unit. Should you have any
problems with the device, please only contact the MEDION Help
Desk on 1300 884 987.
Operational Safety
This unit is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental abilities or by those without experience and/or
knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or they have been instructed in its use by that person.
Do not let children play with electrical appliances without supervision.
Children cannot always recognise potential hazards correctly.
This device is not designed for children under three years of age. The mains
adapter included in the delivery is not a toy.
Caution! Risk of suffocation for babies and small children due
to plastic packaging and small parts. Keep the plastic
packaging out of the reach of babies and small children.
Transformers and mains adapters designed to be used with
toys are not suitable to be used as toys themselves. The use of this product
should take place under constant supervision by parents.
After transporting the notebook, wait until the device has reached ambient
temperature before switching it on. Significant changes in temperature or
fluctuations in humidity can cause moisture to build up due to condensation
and this can cause an electrical short circuit.
Do not place any objects onto the device or put any pressure on the screen.
Otherwise the screen may break. To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch
it with sharp objects.
There is a risk of injury if the screen breaks. If this occurs, retrieve all broken
pieces using protective gloves and send them to your service centre for proper
waste disposal. Then wash your hands with soap because the possibility that
chemicals may have leaked out cannot be excluded.
Check the device regularly for possible damage. If there is any damage to the
notebook, stop using the device and contact the MEDION Help Desk on 1300
884 987.

After Sales Support TEL: [phone] WEB Support: www.medion.com.au

To avoid malfunctions, keep the device away from moisture, avoid vibrations
and do not place it in a dusty area, near sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
Only use the device in residential or similar rooms and not outdoors.
The device must not be exposed to water droplets or spray. Do not place
objects that are filled with water (such as vases) on the device. The container
may tip over and the liquid may impair the electrical safety of the product.
Never open the device casing. This would void the warranty and possibly lead
to the destruction of the device.
Connecting The Notebook
Observe the following advice when connecting the notebook:
Power Supply
Do not open the housing of the mains adapter. Opening the mains adapter
housing presents a danger of life threatening electric shock. There are no
serviceable parts.
The electricity socket must be close to the device and easily accessible.
To disconnect the power supply (via the mains adapter) from your device pull
the mains adapter from the socket outlet.
To prevent overheating, do not cover the mains adapter.
Do not continue to use the mains adapter if the housing or the supply cord to
the device is damaged. Replace it with the same type of mains adapter. Check
the mains adapter regularly for damage to the cable, plug, housing and other
parts. The toy must not be used until any possible damage present has been
repaired.
Only use the mains adapter with an AC 240 V ~ 50 Hz electrical socket.
Only use the mains adapter included in the box.
If you want to unplug the mains adapter from the mains supply, first remove
the plug from the electricity socket and then remove the plug from the device.
Completing the process in the reverse order could damage the mains adapter
or the device. Always grip the plug itself when removing it from the electricity
socket. Never pull on the lead.
Cables
Only use the cable/adapter and the original mains adapter included in the
delivery.
Position the cable so that nobody is able to step on it or trip over it.
Do not place any objects on the cable to avoid damaging it.

Proper Use
This Early Learning Notebook has been developed for children of pre-school or
primary school ages. It is ideal for preparing children for the learning content
provided at school and for supporting and supplementing it.
However, this device is also extremely well suited for playing. It promotes children’s
motor functions and imagination. The ability to switch languages and the special
exercises included introduce your child to foreign languages through play. The
notebook design ensures that your child is well prepared for using computers at a
later stage.
In order to meet the requirements of all age groups the level of difficulty of the
activities increases when a series of tasks has been successfully solved.
However, some of the applications are already unsuitable for pre-school children at
the very first levels because they require reading, writing and mathematics skills.
Please check together with your child which activities are suitable for their age
group.
Do not allow your child to play uninterrupted on the notebook for a long period of
time. Ensure that sufficient breaks are taken.
Regularly check the device for any possible damage and stop using the device if any
damage to the notebook has been identified.
