Important safety information

Before you use the N9000Tablet PC(referred to as the N9000), read these safety instructions and the
operation instructions in this handbook.

Failure to observe all these instructions voids the Limited Warranty and may lead to suspension or
denial of services to the offender, or legal action, or both.

Follow any special regulations governing the use of the N9000 and, if radio enabled, always switch it
off in areas where radio devices are forbidden or when the radio device can cause interference or
danger.

Always follow any safety laws and regulations pertaining to the use of cell phones and two-way radios,
because these laws and regulations typically apply to the use of the wireless-enabled N9000.

Observe all restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants, and wherever blasting operations are in progress or in any area in which
restrictions on radio transmissions are imposed.

Switch off the N9000 when in an aircraft. The N9000 is not FAA-approved for use on aircraft. The effect
of the use of the N9000 in aircraft is unknown. Using the N9000 in an aircraft may affect aircraft
instrumentation, communication, and performance; may disrupt the network; and may be illegal.

Operating the wireless-enabled N9000 may interfere with the functioning of inadequately protected
medical devices such as pacemakers.

Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you have any questions.

Radio signals from your N9000 will not affect the operation of most modern equipment, but certain
electronic equipment, including automotive systems, may not be shielded against radio signals from
your N9000.

Check with the manufacturer of your motor vehicle or the manufacturer’s representative to determine
whether using the N9000 will present any safety issues.

Avoid using the N9000 in any environment that requires your full attention, such as when driving a
vehicle. If you need to use your N9000 while driving, have a passenger use it for you or find a safe
location to halt your vehicle.

WARNING

Use only battery types specified in this handbook. Using any other type of battery can be dangerous
and can disable the N9000.

Do not use any dock or any other accessory or attachment that is not manufactured or supplied by
NetisIT or an authorized NetisIT accessories supplier.

Use of any accessory or attachment that is not supplied or approved for use with the N9000 by NetisIT
is not permitted because it may cause hazards.

Operate the N9000 only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label Route power
supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them.

Pay particular attention to cords at plugs and convenience receptacles, and at the point where cords
exit from the N9000 or its dock. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles because this can cause fire or electric shock.

Unplug the N9000 and refer the N9000 and dock for service to qualified service personnel if any of the
following conditions occur:

■The power supply cord or plug is damaged.

■ The N9000 or dock does not operate normally when you follow the instructions in this book.

■ The N9000 or dock exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Adjust only controls for which there are instructions in this book.

An improper adjustment of other controls can result in damage and may require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the N9000 or dock to normal operation.

CAUTION

Avoid prolonged physical contact with the exposed metal surfaces on the front and back of the N9000.

Operation while the N9000 may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the
N9000 for a long time (for example, if you rest the N9000 on your lap for a long time), your skin may
suffer low-heat injury. In addition, be careful when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long
time, because the card may be hot.
