Cautions on waterproof and dustproof functions

This product is IP57* certified according to IP code defined in the international standard IEC60529. It is tested and certified by a test lab facility located in Korea.

*IP57: The first digit 5 of IP57 indicates the ingress of dust at a level that will not have a harmful effect on the operation of the unit. The second digit 7 of IPX7 indicates that the tablet is protected against water immersion for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter. The higher the number is, the more the tablet is protected.

While this tablet has superior protection against accidental contact with water than devices with lower IP ratings, it is NOT intended to be used underwater or in the water.

Before using the tablet, read the followings carefully: if you use the tablet without following cautions below, water, dust or foreign substances can incur fire, electric shock, injury, or malfunction of the tablet.

1. Your tablet can malfunction if it is exposed to water projected at any angle through a 6.3 mm nozzle at a flow rate of 12.5 liters per minute for more than 3 minutes from a distance of 2.5–3 meters.

2. Water can soak into the tablet and incur malfunction if it is submerged in water at a depth of 1 meter for more than 30 minutes.

3. Your tablet can malfunction if it is exposed to equipment for more than 8 hours that emits dust with diameter less than 75µm.

4. All external connections must be properly covered.

5. If the speaker and/or microphone are physically damaged, this may undermine the waterproof function and cause malfunction or a slow down of the reaction time of your tablet.

6. Waterproof function can be undermined if external shock incurs damage to the tablet.

7. If your tablet is exposed to liquids other than water, e.g. soft drink, alcohol, or milk, it may become sticky in time and cause malfunction of the tablet.

8. It is recommended that you replace the USB and earphone ports every 12 month to maintain the waterproof integrity of your tablet.

9. The touch screen may not work if the touch screen is moist, or if you tap the touch screen with wet hands.

10. The sound quality of your tablet can be adversely affected if your tablet is not dried completely. It is recommended that you completely dry your tablet before using it.

Appendix

11. If your tablet contains water drops and gets exposed to below freezing conditions, the droplets will freeze and may cause malfunction.

12. Accessories are not impervious to water or any other liquids.

Note Keep in mind the above cautions when using your tablet: your tablet cannot

be guaranteed under the warranty if you have incurred malfunction of the tablet because you have not followed the cautions.

About battery usage

Your tablet is powered by a Lithium Polymer battery. This means that, unlike other forms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery while some charge remains without reducing your tablet’s autonomy due to the “battery memory effect” inherent in those technologies.

x Do not use a damaged battery or charger.

x Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or

shred.

x Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects

into the battery, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.

x Do not put your battery into contact with conductive objects.

x Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with local

regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning; they may explode.

x Make sure to use the charger and USB cable only that come together

in the package. If you use the other charger and USB cable, you might incur malfunction or failure of the Element.

x Only use the battery for the device for which it is specified.

x Only use the battery with a charging device that has been qualified

with the device per this standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.

x Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to

contact battery terminals.

x Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

regulations.

x Battery usage by children should be supervised.

x Avoid dropping the tablet. If the tablet is dropped, especially on a

hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

x The closer you are to your network’s base station, the longer your

tablet usage time because less battery power is consumed for the connection.

x The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining

battery capacity and the battery and charger type you use.

x Battery life inevitably shortens over time.

x Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the tablet from

its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger, once charging is complete. Leaving the tablet in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer or winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always keep the battery within normal temperatures.

x To prevent injury or burns, ensure that no metal objects come into

contact with the + and – terminals of the battery.

FCC Regulatory Compliance

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Your mobile device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile devices. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: American National Standard Institute (ANSI), National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), and International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP). Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. The design of your device complies with the FCC guidelines.

Statement according to FCC part 15.105

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

x Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

x Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

x Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

x Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Statement according to FCC part 15.21

Modifications not expressly approved by this company could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

RF exposure FCC

For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only accessories that contain no metallic components and provide a separation distance of 20 mm (0.6 inches) to the body. Use of other accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided. This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Health and Safety Information FCC

This EUT has been shown to be capable of compliance for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C (2001) and IEEE Std. 1528-2003 Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/ kg.*

Appendix

* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in.
