Safety Precautions
Charging your batteries
Ensure to fully charge your battery pack before using your ASUS Fonepad in
battery mode for extended periods. Remember that the power adapter charges
the battery pack as long as it is plugged into an AC power source. Be aware that it
takes much longer to charge the battery pack when the ASUS Fonepad is in use.
IMPORTANT! Do not leave the ASUS Fonepad connected to the power supply once
it is fully charged. ASUS Fonepad is not designed to be left connected to the power
supply for extended periods of time.
Using your ASUS Fonepad
This ASUS Fonepad should only be used in enviroments with ambient
temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and 35°C (95°F).
Long time exposure to extremely high or low temperature may quickly deplete
and shorten the battery life. To ensure the battery’s optimal performance, ensure
that it is exposed within the recommended environment temperature.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline provider to learn about related inflight services that can be
used and restrictions that must be followed when using your ASUS Fonepad in-
flight.
IMPORTANT! You can send your ASUS Fonepad through x-ray machines (used on
items placed on conveyor belts), but do not expose them from magnetic detectors
and wands.
