Using your tablet

Thanks for choosing the K75. It’s a Wireless Data Termina, which we’ll simply
call ‘tablet’ from now on.

If you’d like your tablet to live a long and fruitful life, please read this guide
carefully and keep it for future reference. You never know when you might need
it.

And don’t worry if the pictures we use to demonstrate your tablet’s functions
look a little different from what you see on its screen. It’s the functions they
show that matter.

lost or stolen?

If your tablet goes missing, notify your service provider immediately to prevent
others from abusing it. To protect your tablet against abuse, take the following
precautions:

- Set a PIN code and modify it from time to time.

- Keep your tablet with you at all times.

1

using your tablet safely

on the road

 Using a tablet while driving is illegal in many countries. Please follow local

laws and drive safely at all times.

near sensitive electronics

 Don’t use your tablet near sensitive electronic equipment – particularly

medical devices such as pacemakers – as it could cause them to
malfunction. It can also interfere with the operation of fire detectors and
other automated equipment.

 For more information about how your tablet affects pacemakers or other

electronic equipment, please contact the manufacturer or your local
distributor.

 Your tablet may cause interference when used near TVs, radios or

automated office equipment.

while flying

 Your tablet can cause interference with aircraft equipment. So it’s essential

you follow airline regulations. And if airline personnel ask you to switch off

2

your tablet, or disable its wireless functions, please do as they say.

in hospital

 Your tablet may interfere with the normal operation of medical equipment.

Follow all hospital regulations and turn it off when you’re asked to by posted
warnings or medical staff.

at a petrol station

 Don’t use your tablet at petrol stations. In fact, it’s always best to switch off

whenever you’re near fuels, chemicals or explosives.

around water

 Keep your tablet away from water (or any other liquid). It’s not a waterproof

model.

making repairs

 Never take your tablet apart. Please leave that to the professionals.

Unauthorised repairs could break the terms of your warranty.

3

around children

 Keep your tablet out of children’s reach. It should never be used as a toy and

it might not be good for their health.

original accessories

 Only use the original accessories supplied with your tablet or those

approved by the manufacturer. Using unapproved accessories may affect
performance, make the warranty void, break national regulations on the use
of tablets, or even cause injury.

near explosives

 Turn off your tablet in or near areas where explosive materials are used.

Always obey local laws and turn off your tablet when requested.

working temperature

 The working temperature for the tablet is between 0℃ and 40℃. Please

don’t use the tablet outside that temperature range as it might cause

4

problems.

 At very high volume, prolonged listening to a tablet can damage your

hearing.

battery care and safety

 The product has a built-in Li-polymer battery, therefore please do not try to

take it out or repair it by yourself to avoid the risk of fire, flame or damage to
tablet caused by inappropriate maintenance.

 Although the battery is rechargeable, it’ll eventually start to lose its ability to

recharge. If you find that the battery won’t recharge, it’s time to replace it.

 Please don’t throw old batteries into your household rubbish. You’ll find there

are special bins for batteries at refuse collection points. And some high
street electrical stores provide a battery recycling service too.

 Never throw the battery into a fire – it’s highly inflammable and could

explode, hurting you or somebody else.

 If the battery becomes hot, changes colour or shape at any time (when in

use, charging or even while in storage) please stop using it immediately.

 Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet conditions can cause it to overheat or

5

corrode.

 Don’t leave the battery in direct sunlight or anywhere really hot, like in a car

on a summer’s day. That could make it leak or overheat, while lowering its
performance and shortening its life.

 Don’t charge the battery continuously for 24 hours. Overcharging is not good

for it.

Note:

Please avoid contact with the materials inside a damaged or leaking
battery. If they get on your skin, wash with lots of water and seek

charger care and safety

 Only plug the charger into voltages between 110VAC and 220VAC. Using a

 Never short-circuit the charger – this may cause electrocution, overheating

 Don’t charge the tablet in direct sunlight or in an area where it’s damp, dusty,

medical assistance if required.

voltage outside that range can damage the tablet/charger – and cause the
battery to leak or catch fire.

or damage.

or on a vibrating surface. And charging your tablet near – or on – a TV or
radio could interfere with transmission.

6

 Don’t use the charger if the power cable is damaged. It may cause a fire or

give someone an electric shock.

 Keep water well away from the charger. If the charger does get splashed by

water, or any other kind of liquid, immediately unplug it to avoid overheating,
fire or electrocution.

 Don’t take the charger apart. It could cause injury, give you an electric shock

or catch fire.

 Never touch any charger, electric cable or socket with wet hands.

 Don’t place heavy objects on the electric cable.

 If the cable is damaged, don’t try to mend it yourself – it could cause a fire or

electrocute you.

 Always unplug the charger before you clean it.

 When unplugging the charger, hold the plug itself, rather than pulling on the

cable. A damaged cable can cause electrocution or fire.

4RF exposure information (SAR)

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for

exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.

The exposure standard for wireless 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.
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output.

The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC, described in this
user guide, is 0.760W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among device
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.)

*

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions

31

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
after searching on FCC ID: Q78-K75

For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the
positions the handset a minimum of 0cm from the body. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If
you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the device at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 0cm from your body when the device is
switched on.

This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled
exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance
with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C.
