Connecting environment

• The receiving quality of the tablet may be influenced by environment. The best

environment for the tablet is where no other cordless products are functioning, such as

microwave ovens.

• Cement walls and wooden walls absorb radio wave and decrease receiving quality. Open

space without barriers is the best environment for the tablet.

WT-1 does not work.

Is the 2.4G RF adaptor connected to the PC properly? Was system setup done in the proper order?

Software may be damaged or did not install correctly.

Are there any wireless devices located nearby WT-1 such as cordless phone, video transmitters, or radio transmitters? Are there any electronic devices located nearby WT-1 such as microwave ovens or radio transmitters that emit electromagnetic noise? Were the batteries full-charged?

If it is connected properly, LED light on. Otherwise, please unplug and replug the 2.4G RF adaptor. Setup system in proper order. (For details on how to setup the system, see ‘3.

4.3 Battery Replacement

The built-in lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery has a useful life of approximately two years.

Continuing to use the battery after this period poses a risk of battery overheating, rupture, or

fire.

If you notice something unusual when charging or using the battery (such as unusual odors,

overheating, discoloration, or deformation), discontinue use and request service.

Li-ion batteries are generally not affected by the so-called battery memory effect from

repeated use and recharging, and it is claimed that they last longer than other rechargeable

batteries.

For this reason, no clear values for the useful life (in terms of cycles of use and recharging) are

defined. However, battery capacity does decline after repeated use and recharging. The point

at which batteries can only be charged to about 80% of the original capacity is defined as their

cycle life. The cycle life of the tablet battery is approximately 400 charges.

Although you can continue to use the battery after this point, if the battery only lasts for about

8 hours after a full charge, the battery has reached the end of its useful life. Request

replacement at this time.

Do not perform unauthorized disassembly of the WT-1. It may pose a risk of injury from

fire or electric shock, and may damage the WT-1. Contact a customer service center

regarding battery replacement.
