A high quality lithium-ion battery is used in your Tab-Ex 01. These batteries
have numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a low weight and high
capacity in a nevertheless compact construction. In addition these batteries also
exhibit practically no memory effect. However, these batteries are susceptible to
a natural aging process which impairs their functionality.
Modern batteries today have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which,
when used daily, corresponds to a service life of approximately two years.
The ageing process increases rapidly after this period, which means that the
batteries are deemed technically defective after 500 charge cycles. Moreover,
the battery cells could expand and cause irreparable damage to your device
in a worst case scenario. For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium
cells should be replaced after two years at the latest or after reaching a battery
capacity that is 50% of its initial value.
Note:
The battery used in this unit poses a re hazard and can cause chemical injuries
if it is used improperly. Neither the battery nor the battery cells shall be opened
or disassembled and they should not be burned or exposed to temperatures
exceeding 131 °F (+55 °C).
10. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
•
Only use a suitable cloth or sponge to clean the tablet computer.
•
Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaning agents when cleaning.
•
It is recommended that you have the functionality and accuracy of the phone
inspected by the manufacturer every two years.
•
Do not exceed the permissible storage temperature range of -4 °F to +122 °F
(-20 °C to +50 °C)

11. Disposal
Old electrical devices by ecom instruments GmbH will be directed to disposal
at our expense and disposed of free of charge in accordance with European Di-
rective 2002/96/EC. Please follow local regulations for the disposal of electronic
products.
The costs associated with returning devices to ecom instruments GmbH are to
be borne by the sender.
Your device contains a rechargeable lithium battery.
Depleted batteries or rechargeable batteries that can no longer be recharged
should never be disposed of along with normal or household waste. Old batte-
ries can contain harmful substances that are hazardous to health and damaging
to the environment. Please return the batteries/rechargeable batteries. Return
is free of charge and required by law. Please only dispose of discharged batte-
ries in the designated containers and tape the terminals of lithium batteries.
If the battery needs to be disposed of, it can be removed as described under
point (7). The disposal regulations specied above are also applicable for old
devices. All batteries and rechargeable batteries can be recycled. Precious raw
materials such as iron, zinc and nickel can therefore be reused.

13. Certicate of Compliance
Please observe the download information provided on webpage
www.ecom-ex.com
14. SAR Information
COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic
elds) recommended by international guidelines.
The guidelines were developed by an independent scientic organization (IC-
NIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands.
The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
SM-T360 (WiFi):
Body-SAR : 0.374 W/Kg
SM-T365 (WWAN):
Head-SAR : 0.084 W/Kg
Body-SAR : 0.839 W/Kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the
values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efciency and to
minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile de-
vice is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The
lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.

12
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 0 cm.
To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should
be positioned at least this distance away from the body.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug
Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce
their exposure, they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless
device away from the head and body during use, or reduce the amount of time
spent using the device.
15. FCC Digital Emissions Compliance
FCC Class A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equip-
ment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction Manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
