General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the device. When you clean any single part or component for the device, please
thoroughly read and understand the details below.
1. We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before
you start to clean any single components.
2. When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.
3. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum
cleaner to absorb the dirt on the oor.
4. Never drop the components inside the device or get circuit board damp or
wet.
5. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it
for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
6. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the device.
Cleaning Tools:
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process
of cleaning your devices and peripherals, users can also use household items
to clean their devices and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may
need or want to use while cleaning your devices or peripherals. Keep in mind
that some components in your device may only be able to be cleaned using
a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be
mentioned in the cleaning.
• Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a compo-
nent. Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well,
we still recommend you to rub it with a piece of cloth.
• Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some
water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the device. Unknown solvents may be
harmful to the plastics parts.
17. The sound pressure level at the operator’s position, according to
IEC 704-1:1982, is no more than 70dB(A).
18. Keep this User’s Manual for later reference.
19. DO NOT LEAVE THIS EQUIPMENT IN AN UNCONTROLLED
ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE STORAGE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW
-20° C (-4° F) OR ABOVE 60° C (140° F). THIS MAY DAMAGE THE
EQUIPMENT.

Introducing the Rechargeable Battery Pack
With very little care, you can maximize the life and lifespan of your G1050/
G1050S series battery. Most importantly, only use your G1050/G1050S series in its ideal operating temperature (See “G1050/G1050S Series Specications”) – do not leave it in a hot trunk during the summer.
• Important Terms to Understand
“Battery life” means the time your G1050/G1050S series will run before it must
be recharged (sometimes this is also called “playtime” or “runtime”).
“Battery lifespan” means the total amount of time your battery will last before
it must be replaced.
• Using Your G1050/G1050S Series for the First Time
Be sure to fully charge (approx. 4 hours) your G1050/G1050S series when
you plug it in for the rst time.
• Long-Term Storage & Maintenance
If you do not plan to use your G1050/G1050S series battery for more than
three months, it is recommended that you store the battery separately, fully
charged, and then recharge it every three month. If you store an uncharged
battery, it could fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it incapable
of holding any charge. Be sure to store your G1050/G1050S series and battery at the proper temperature. (See “G1050/G1050S Series Specications.”)
• Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other
particles out of the device can be one of the best cleaning methods. Over time,
these items can restrict the airow in a device and cause circuitry to corrode.
• Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and
other locations.
• Foam swabs: Whenever possible, it is better to use lint-free swabs such
as foam swabs.
We recommend you to follow the cleaning steps:
1. Close all application programs
2. Close operating software
3. Turn off power switch
4. Remove all peripherals
5. Pull out power cable

Disposing of Your Old Product
•
Within the European Union
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State,
requires that waste electrical and electronic products carrying the
mark (left) must be disposed of separately from normal household
waste.
This includes monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or
power cords. When you need to dispose of your display products, please
follow the guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you
purchased the product, or if applicable, follow any agreements made between
yourself. The mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the
current European Union Member States.
• Outside the European Union
If you wish to dispose of used electrical and electronic products outside the
European Union, please contact your local authority so as to comply with the
correct disposal method.
Symbols Description
This symbol of “CAUTION” indicates that there is a danger
of injury to the user or a risk of damage to the product, should
warning notices be disregarded.
Battery Recycle
• Battery Lifespan
The removable batteries for G1050/G1050S series are designed to retain up
to 80% of their original capacity after 300 charging and recharging cycles
when properly maintained. You may choose to replace your battery when it no
longer holds sufcient charge to meet your needs.
