For detailed operating instructions, refer to the Tablet User Manual (this publication).
Handle your tablet with care:
Do not drop, bend, puncture, insert foreign objects, or place heavy objects on your tablet, as this may damage the tablet. Your tablet screen is made of glass, and may break if the tablet is dropped on a hard surface, subjected to high impact, or crushed by a heavy object. In the event that the glass chips or cracks, do not touch the broken glass or attempt to remove it from the tablet. Stop using the tablet immediately and contact Elo technical support for repair, replacement, and/or disposal information.
Do not disassemble or modify your tablet:
Your tablet is a sealed unit and is not user-serviceable, meaning it is not designed for disassembly or internal hardware modification by end users. All internal repairs must be done by an Elo-authorized repair facility or an Elo-authorized technician. Attempting to disassemble or modify your tablet will void any warranty.
Prevent your tablet and charger from getting wet:
• Do not immerse your tablet in water or leave it in a location where it can get saturated with water or other liquids.
• Do not use the Elo Tablet AC/DC power adapter kit outdoors.
Battery Safety:
Warning: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or explosion. Replace the
battery only with a compatible battery purchased from Elo Touch Solutions that is designed to work with your Elo Tablet. Do not use a battery from other tablets.
Do not use/operate your tablet with a damaged battery. Do not charge a damaged battery. A damaged battery may pose a risk of personal injury. Damages include dents or punctures to

battery due to impact or shock, exposure to flame, and/or other deformations. If the battery is damaged, electrolyte may leak from the cells and/or fire may result which may cause personal injury. Handle a damaged or leaking battery pack with extreme care. Contact Elo technical support for replacement and/or disposal information.
Do not disassemble the battery.
Use approved charging methods only:
Use only the AC/DC power adapter kit supplied by Elo Touch Solutions for the tablet. You can safely recharge the tablet battery using any of the following configurations:

station.
3. AC/DC power adapter kit connected to docking station while tablet is mounted onto

into battery compartment on docking station, with or without tablet mounted onto docking station.
The AC/DC power adapter kit may heat up during normal operation of your tablet. Ensure adequate ventilation around the charging device. Unplug the charging device if any of the following occurs:
The charging device has been exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.
The charging device shows signs of physical damage.

Elo is not responsible for the performance or safety of products not manufactured or approved by Elo.
Prevent hearing damage:
Your tablet has an audio port that allows you to connect headphones (also called a headset) or earphones to the tablet.
CAUTION:
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the earphone and headphone output voltage and the sound pressure level. Therefore, to protect your hearing, adjust the equalizer to an appropriate level.
Take care when using your tablet in a motor vehicle or on a bicycle:
User Manual: Elo® Tablet
SW602113 Rev A, Page 5 of 39
Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Follow the law. Local laws and regulations might govern how you can use mobile electronic devices, such as your tablet, while you drive a motor vehicle or ride a bicycle.
Dispose according to local laws and regulations:
When your tablet reaches the end of its useful life, do not crush, incinerate, immerse in water, or dispose of your tablet in any manner contrary to local laws and regulations. Some internal parts contain substances that can explode, leak, or have an adverse environmental affect if disposed of incorrectly.
See Chapter 6 “Safety & Maintenance” for additional information on how to appropriately dispose of your tablet at the end of its useful life.
Keep your tablet and accessories away from small children:
Your tablet contains small parts that can be a choking hazard to small children. Additionally, the glass screen may break or crack if dropped on or thrown against a hard surface.
Protect your data and software:
Do not delete or change the name of files or directories that were not created by you; as this may prevent the tablet software from operating properly.
Be aware that accessing network resources can render your tablet vulnerable to computer viruses, hackers, spyware, and other malicious activities that might damage your tablet, software, or data. It is your responsibility to ensure that your tablet have adequate protection in the form of firewalls, antivirus software, and anti-spyware software and keep them up to date.
Keep electrical appliances such as an electric fan, radio, high-powered speakers, air conditioner, and microwave oven away from your tablet because the strong magnetic fields generated by these appliances can damage the screen and the data on the tablet.
Take precautions with plastic bags:
The tablet comes with plastic packaging material. DANGER: Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and
children to avoid danger of suffocation.
