For indoor, dry-location use only. Do not use the product near a sink or other
wet locations. Take care not to spill food or any kind of liquid on this product as
it may render it inoperable and not serviceable. In case the unit does get wet,
unplug all cables and turn it OFF. Allow to dry thoroughly before reusing. Do
not attempt to dry with a hair dryer or other heat source. Do not re-connect to
the AC outlet if wet or damaged.

Handle with care. To avoid injury, damage to this product or other property,
avoid dropping and never disassemble, crush, puncture, microwave, incinerate,
insert foreign objects or paint the product. Clean your hands before handling
the product if they have been exposed to suntan lotions or other chemicals.
Use the included bumper to help minimize damage from typical use and drops.

Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and direct sunlight
Operate in places with temperatures ranging from 5°C (40°F) to 38°C
(100°F). Do not leave the product in your car as the temperatures in parked
cars can exceed the acceptable storage temperature. Exposure to extreme
temperatures can result in shortened battery life or cause the product to
temporarily stop working.

Battery Charging

The LEAPFROG™ tablet is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer
battery. It will require about 5 hours of charging using the included AC
power adapter/adaptor prior to use. The tablet may also be charged via USB
connection; however, this charging method will take much longer.

If the battery is charging when the device is off, a battery meter icon will light
up on the dark screen. When the battery meter icon is full, the battery is fully
charged. If it is charging when the device is on, the battery meter at the top of
the screen will show the charging status and the charge level.

Charge the device in a well-ventilated area only. While charging the device do
not cover it with anything such as a blanket, pillow or your child’s body. Never
allow your child to sleep with or on the device while it is charging. For power
or battery issues, please contact LeapFrog Consumer Support.

Cleaning. Disconnect all cords before cleaning. Clean the product with
a slightly damp cloth (cold water). Do not use soap, detergent or other
chemicals. Never submerge the unit in water. Allow to dry thoroughly before
re-use.

Using connectors and ports. Never force a USB or other connector into a port
on the device. If the connector does not fit into the port, double check the
connector and port to ensure they match up and are positioned correctly, and
make sure nothing is obstructing the port.

Environmental phenomena. The LEAPFROG tablet may malfunction if
subjected to radio-frequency interference. It should revert to normal operation
when the interference stops. If not, it may become necessary to turn the power
OFF and then back ON. In the unlikely event of an electrostatic discharge, the
unit may malfunction and lose memory, requiring the user to reset the device
by turning the power OFF and then back ON.

Static electricity and headphones. In certain dry environments, static
electricity can build up in headphones and cause a small quick static
discharge when plugging the headphones into a device. To avoid this static
discharge from occurring, do not use in extremely dry environments or touch
a grounded unpainted metal object to discharge static electricity before
connecting the headphones to the device.

Do not connect to the AC wall outlet if wet or damaged.
