1.2 Safety warning and Attentions

Safety warning

• SWITCH OFF IN AIRCRAFT: Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft. Using a tablet in flight is illegal and risky. Please make sure that your tablet is powered off in flight.
• SWITCH OFF BEFORE ENTERING RISKY AREAS: Strictly observe the relevant laws, codes, and regulations on the use of tablets in risky areas. Turn off your tablet before entering a place susceptible to explosion, such as an oil station, oil tank, chemical plant or a place where a blasting process is under way.
• OBSERVE ALL SPECIAL REGULATIONS: Follow any special regulations in force in any area such as hospitals and always switch off your tablet whenever it is forbidden to use it or, when it may cause interference or danger. Properly use your tablet near medical apparatuses, such as pacemakers, hearing aids and some other electronic medical devices, as it may cause interference to such apparatuses.
• INTERFERENCE: The conversation quality of any tablet may be affected by radio interference. An antenna is built inside the tablet and located below the micro tablet. Do not touch the antenna area during a conversation, lest that the conversation quality deteriorates.
• QUALIFIED SERVICE: Only qualified personnel may install or repair tablet equipment. Installing or repairing the tablet on your own may bring great danger and violates the warranty rules.
• ACCESSORIES AND BATTERIES: Use only approved accessories and batteries.
• USE SENSIBLY: Use only in a normal and proper manner.

Precautions

This tablet is well designed with fine art. Please exercise special care when using it. The following suggestions will help your tablet survive the warranty period and extend its service life:

• Keep the tablet and all its fittings beyond children's reach.
• Keep the tablet dry. Keep away from rain, moisture, liquid or other substances that may corrode electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store the tablet in dusty places; lest those active parts of the tablet be damaged.

5 Appendix

Appendix 1: Troubleshooting

If exceptions occur, restore factory settings and refer to the table below. If the problem persists, contact the distributor or service provider.

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) CERTIFICATION INFORMATION

This device meets international guidelines for exposure to radio waves. This device has been tested and found to comply with the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) RF exposure requirements set by international agencies.

Google, Google Play, YouTube, Gmail and other marks are trademarks of Google LLC.

FCC Statement

1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

SAR Information Statement

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this tablet when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.124W/Kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2ABOSSKYPAD10. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 10mm must be maintained between the user's body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
