This chapter provides information about the use of the Tablet.
If you are new to Tablets, reading this chapter will help you learn the operating

containing information unique to your Tablet.
CAUTION：
● Do not expose your skin to the Tablet when operating it in a very hot or cold
environment.
● The Tablet can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in high temperatures. As
a safety precaution in such a circumstance, do not place the Tablet on your lap or
touch it with your bare hands for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact
can cause discomfort and potentially a burn.
