manual may not cover all aspects of new features.

• The new battery will be in its best condition after

• While using earphones, if the volume is excessively

high it may cause hearing damage. Please adjust the
volume of the player to a safe level and moderate
during use.

• Do not disconnect the tablet suddenly when for­matting or uploading and downloading, which can
lead to program errors.

• Do not dismantle the tablet by yourself, and do not

use alcohol, thinner or benzene to clean its surface.

• Do not use the tablet while driving or walking.

• The tablet is not moisture and water resistant.

Please do not use it in a damp environment.

• Do not drop or hit the tablet against a hard surface,
or the screen may be damaged or cracked.

• Do not upgrade the rmware by yourself. The tab­let should be upgraded with the right rmware and
