Safety and service
Safety notes
Please read through this section carefully. Following all the instructions will guarantee reliable operation and years of enjoyment from your new Digital Notepad.
Always keep these instructions near your Digital Notepad for easy reference.
Keep these instructions and packaging safe. Use the original packaging in the event that
you need to ship or transport your Digital Notepad.
Operating safety
• Never open the housing of the Digital Notepad! This could lead to an electrical
short-circuit, damage to your Digital Notepad or fire.
• Never insert any objects through the slits and openings into the inside of the Digital
Notepad. Doing so could lead to an electrical short circuit or damage to your Digital
Notepad.
• The device is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
• Keep packing materials such as foil away from children as there is a danger of
suffocation.
• This Digital Notepad is intended for personal use only and is not intended for commercial use of any kind.
• Do not press heavily on the digital pen. Doing so may cause damage to the pen tip
or the pen itself resulting in malfunction.
• In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but
completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time.
We recommend you ventilate the room regularly, to counteract the formation of the
smell.
Point of use
• Keep your Digital Notepad and all connected equipment away from moisture, dust,
heat and direct sunlight in order to avoid malfunctions.

°F to 60° C/140°F at a relative humidity of 20 % to 80 % (not condensing).
After transporting your Digital Notepad wait until it has reached
room temperature before turning on. In the event of major variations
in the temperature or humidity, condensation can form on the
inside of the Digital Notepad which can cause an electrical short-
circuit.
Electro-magnetic compatibility
• When connecting the Digital Notepad observe the guidelines for electro-magnetic
compatibility (EMC).
• Maintain a distance of at least 3 feet from sources of high frequency and mag-
netic interference (television sets, loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.), in order
to avoid malfunctions and data loss.
Connecting
Observe the following instructions to connect your Digital Notepad
properly:
• Route the cable so that no one can step on it or stumble over it.
• To avoid damage to the cable do not place any objects or furniture on the cable.
Data security
Every time you update your computer’s data make back-up copies
on an external storage medium, i.e. CDR disc. We cannot assume
a liability for data loss or associated subsequent damage.
