Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and effective. However, tablets are
electronic devices. Power cords, power adapters, and other features can create potential safety risks
that can result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these risks, follow
the instructions included with your product, observe all warnings on the product and in the operating
instructions, and review the information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the
information contained in this document and provided with your product, you can help protect yourself from
hazards and create a safer tablet work environment.

Note:

This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In addition to tablets, some

products (such as speakers and monitors) ship with external power adapters. If you have such a product,
this information applies to your product.

Conditions that require immediate action

Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product damage is serious enough
that the product should not be used again until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by
an authorized servicer.

As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is turned on. On very rare
occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks vent from your product. Or you
might hear sounds like popping, cracking, or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an
internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner. Or, they might indicate
a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself.
Contact the Customer Support Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support phone
numbers, see the following Web site:

Frequently inspect your tablet and its components for damage or wear or signs of danger. If you have
any question about the condition of a component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer
Support Center or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product and
have it repaired, if necessary.

In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if you have any safety
concerns with your product, stop using the product and unplug it from the power source and
telecommunication lines until you can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.

• Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or power supplies that are

cracked, broken, or damaged.

• Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.
