Precautions

 Always exercise care when operating and handling the DT398.
 Do NOT apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
 We recommend using the Stylus provided to keep the screen clean.
 Avoid prolonged exposure of the display panel to any strong heat source. Wherever possible, the DT398

should face away from direct light to reduce glare.

 If the AC-DC power adapter is used to recharge or power the device, do NOT use any AC-DC adapter other

than the one provided with the device or acquired from the manufacturer or its partners.

 In the unlikely event that smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately power off the DT398

and disconnect all power sources. Report the problem to your device provider immediately.

 Never attempt to disassemble the DT398, as this will void the warranty.
 The DT398 internal battery is designed for wide temperature usage. Please do not use it for other tablet

models.

 (The wide temperature design is not applicable for external batteries.)
