ASUS Tablet USER GUIDE E9112 First Edition February 2014 Charging your device Ensure to fully charge your ASUS Tablet before using it in battery mode for extended periods. Remember that the power adapter charges your ASUS Tablet as long as it is plugged into an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the ASUS Tablet when it is in use. IMPORTANT! Do not leave the ASUS Tablet connected to the power supply once it is fully charged. ASUS Tablet is not designed to be left connected to the power supply for extended periods of time. 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 Tablet in-flight. IMPORTANT! You can send your ASUS Tablet through x-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), but do not expose them from magnetic detectors and wands. Safety precautions This ASUS Tablet should only be used in enviroments with ambient temperatures between 0C to 35C (32F to 95F). Long time exposure to extremely high or low temperature may quickly deplete and shorten the battery life. To ensure the batterys optimal performance, ensure that it is exposed within the recommended environment temperature.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (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 causes 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 doing one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. RF Exposure Information (SAR) This device meets the governments 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 employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT transmitting at the specified power level in different channels. The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 1.15 W/kg when placed next to the body. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
