7 of 66
• The Notebook is not intended for use by companies in the heavy
industry sector.
• To avoid damage from lightning strikes, do not operate the
Notebook during thunderstorms.
• Do not place any objects on top of the Notebook and do not exert
pressure on the display. Otherwise, there is a risk that the display
may break.
• If the screen breaks, there is a danger of injury. If this happens, pick
up the shattered pieces wearing protective gloves and send them
to your service centre for professional disposal. Finally, wash your
hands with soap, as the pieces may have been contaminated with
chemicals.
• Do not fold the display back by an angle of more than 120°.
Exceeding this value may damage the housing or the Notebook.
Always hold the display firmly by the middle when folding it back,
adjusting the position and closing it. Failure to do so may damage
the display. Never use force to open the display.
• To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with sharp objects.
• Never lift the laptop up by the display as this could break the
mounting fixtures and the connectors.
• Place the tablet unit carefully and centrally in the mounting
fixtures on the base unit to avoid damage.
• Should the below occur, switch the Notebook off immediately/
do not switch the Notebook on, disconnect the mains plug and
contact customer services if
− the mains adapter or the attached power cable or plug is burnt
or damaged. Replace faulty mains cables/mains adaptors only
with original parts. These parts should not be repaired under
any circumstances.

8 of 66
If the notebook gets wet,
• do not switch it on.
• disconnect the power cable and switch off the notebook.
• do not switch it back on until it has dried off completely.
2.3. Never Carry Out Repairs Yourself
WARNING!
Never try to open or repair the device yourself. There is a
risk of electric shock.
• If there is a fault, contact the Medion Service Center or other
suitable specialist workshop.
2.4. Data Backup
CAUTION!
Back up your data on external storage media before
each update. We do not accept any liability for claims for
compensation arising from loss of data or any consequential
loss or damage.
2.5. Setup Location (in Notebook Mode)
• Keep your Notebook and all connected devices away from
moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Non-compliance
with these instructions can lead to faults or damage to the
Notebook.
• Do not use the Notebook outdoors because external elements,
such as rain, snow, etc., could damage it.
• Set up and operate all components on a stable, level and vibrationfree surface to prevent the Notebook from falling down.
• Do not operate the Notebook or power adaptor for long periods
on your lap or any other body part as the heat dissipation on the
underside can result in uncomfortable overheating.
• In the first few hours of use new devices can give off a typical,
unavoidable but totally harmless smell, which wears off with time.
Ventilate the room regularly to prevent odour build-up.
• This device is not suitable for use with VDU workstations.
9 of 66
2.6. Environmental Requirements
• The Notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature
between 5° C (+41° F) and 30° C (+86° F) and at a relative humidity
between 20% and 80% (without condensation).
• When powered off, the Notebook can be stored at temperatures
between 0° C and 60° C (+32° F and 140° F).
• During a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains plug and the
antenna plug. For extra safety, we recommend using an
overvoltage protection device to prevent the Notebook from
sustaining damage as a result of power surges or lightning strikes.
• After transporting the Notebook, wait until the device has reached
room temperature before switching it on. Large changes in
temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause moisture buildup within the Notebook due to condensation. This can cause an
electrical short circuit.
• Keep the original packaging in the event the device needs to be
sent in the post.
2.7. Ergonomics
PLEASE NOTE!
Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast in
order to protect your eyes.
The Notebook should never be placed next to a window because this is the
brightest part of the room in daylight. This brightness can make it more difficult for
the eyes to adjust to the darker display. The Notebook should always be positioned
so that the direction of vision is parallel to the window front.
Setting up the Notebook with your back to the window is incorrect as reflections
from the bright window on the screen will then be unavoidable. A position looking
onto the window is also incorrect as the contrast between the dark screen and the
bright daylight can cause problems for the eyes to adjust and result in problems.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to artificial lighting
equipment.
In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the workspace is
illuminated with artificial light. Where space restrictions make it impossible to set up
the screen as described, then correct positioning (rotating, tilting) of the Notebook/
screen can prevent dazzling, reflections and excessive bright-dark contrast, etc. In
many cases, an improvement can also be achieved by using slats or vertical blinds
on the windows, partition walls or by changing the artificial lighting equipment.

2.8. Connecting
Follow the instructions below to connect your Notebook correctly
and safely:
2.8.1. Power Supply
DANGER!
Do not open the housing of the mains adapter. There is a
risk of electric shock when the housing is open. It does not
contain any parts requiring maintenance.
• The socket outlet must be close to the Notebook and easily
accessible.
• To disconnect the power supply from your Notebook (via the
mains adaptor), pull the mains plug from the power outlet.
• Plug the Notebook’s mains adapter into AC 100–240 V~, 50/60 Hz
earthed sockets only. If you are not sure about the power supply at
the set-up location, please ask your power supplier.
• Use only the mains adapter and power cable supplied.
• For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection
device to prevent your Notebook from sustaining damage as a
result of power surges or lightning strikes.
• If you want to disconnect the adapter from the mains, pull the
connector out of the wall socket first and then out of the socket
on the Notebook. The mains adapter or the Notebook may be
damaged if this process is carried out in the reverse order. Always
take hold of the plug when disconnecting the cable from the
socket. Never pull on the cable.
11 of 66
CAUTION!
Use only the supplied mains adapter to charge your device.
WARNING!
Listening to a device at high volumes for an extended
period via headphones/earphones can damage your
hearing. Excessive volume when using headphones or
earphones can damage your hearing. Before pressing
play, set the volume to the lowest setting. Start playback
and increase the volume to a comfortable level. Changing
the basic settings of the equaliser can also increase the
volume and thus cause permanent damage to your
hearing. Changing the drivers, software, equaliser,
operating system, etc., can also lead to an increase in
the volume and thus cause permanent damage to your
hearing.
2.9. Cabling
• Position the cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped
over.
• To avoid damaging the cables, do not place any objects on them.
• Do not connect peripheral devices – such as keyboards, mouse
and monitor, etc. – when the Notebook is switched on to avoid
damage to the Notebook or the devices. Some devices may also be
connected while the computer is running. This is generally the case
for devices with a USB connection. In all cases, observe the relevant
operating instructions.
• Maintain a distance of at least one metre from sources of highfrequency and magnetic interference (TV sets, loudspeakers,
mobile phones, DECT telephones, etc.) in order to avoid
malfunctions and data loss.
• Please note that only shielded cables that are shorter than 3
metres may be connected to the external interfaces of this
Notebook. Please only use double-shielded cables for printer cable
connections.
12 of 66
• Do not exchange the supplied cable for another one. Use only
the supplied cable as this cable has been extensively tested in our
laboratory.
• In addition, when connecting your peripherals only use the
connecting cables supplied with those devices.
• Ensure that all connection cables are connected to their
corresponding peripheral device to avoid any interference
radiation. Disconnect any cables that are not required.
• The only devices which may be connected to the Notebook are
those that meet the requirements set out in the EN60950 standard
“Information Technology Equipment – Safety” or devices that
meet the EN60065 standard “Audio, video and similar electronic
apparatus – Safety requirements”.
• Seuls les appareils conformes à la norme EN60950 « Sécurité pour
le matériel de traitement de l’information » ou à la norme EN60065
«Exigences de sécurité pour les appareils audio, vidéo et appareils
électroniques analogues » peuvent être raccordés à cet ordinateur
portable.
2.10. Information about the Touchpad
• The touchpad is operated with the thumb or another finger and
reacts to the energy given out by the skin. Do not use pens or
other objects as these can damage your touchpad.
13 of 66
2.11. Notes on the integrated batteries
CAUTION!
Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer‘s
instructions. Never attempt to disassemble or reassemble.
Do not heat up above 60°C (140°F). Do not dispose of in
fire or directly short circuit.
This device contains two integrated batteries: One battery is in the
base unit, the second battery is in the tablet unit. To increase the
lifespan and performance of your batteries and also to ensure reliable
operation, you should also heed the following instructions:
• Use only the supplied mains adaptor to charge the batteries. Make
sure (via the laptop display or acoustic signal) that the batteries are
fully discharged before charging them again.
• Always charge the batteries until the battery charging light goes
out. Please also observe the information in “Charging the batteries”
to assess the charge status of your batteries.
• The batteries are built into the devices and should only be
removed by a qualified technician/the Service Centre.
14 of 66
2.12. Measures for protecting the display
• The display is the most sensitive component part of the notebook
as it consists of thin glass. It can break if subjected to too much
stress. Do not scratch the cover of the notebook, because it will not
be possible to remove any scratches.
• Avoid contact between the display and hard objects (e.g. buttons,
wristwatch).
• Do not place any objects on the display.
• Do not allow any objects to drop onto the display.
• Do not pour any fluids into the notebook, as this could damage it.
• Do not scratch the display with your fingernails or hard objects.
• Do not clean the display with chemical cleaning products.
• Clean the display with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth.

is already fully preinstalled on the Notebook so there is no need for you to install
any more drivers and you can get started right away.
Connect the supplied mains adapter to the base unit (22). Next, connect the
power cable to the adapter and then plug it into a mains socket.
REMARQUE !
Alternatively, you can connect the mains adapter to the mains adapter
connection on the underside of the tablet unit (23), if you only plan to
work with the tablet unit.
19 of 66
Open up the display to the desired position using your thumb and forefinger.
The display should not be folded back by more than 120°. Always hold the
display firmly by the middle when folding it back, adjusting the position and
closing it. Failure to do so may damage the display. Never use force to open the
