Safety Symbols This symbol of CAUTION indicates that there is a danger of injury to the user or a risk of damage to the product, should warning notices be disregarded. Battery Recycle This symbol indicates electrical warning. Important Safety Instructions Read these safety instructions carefully:
Read all cautions and warnings on the equipment. Place this equipment on a reliable surface when installing. Dropping it or letting it fall may cause damage. Make sure the correct voltage is connected to the equipment. For pluggable equipment, the socket outlet should be near the equipment and should be easily accessible. Keep this equipment away from humidity. Disconnect this equipment from the A/C outlet before cleaning it. Use a moist cloth. Do not use liquid or sprayed detergent for cleaning. Do not scratch or rub the screen with a hard object. Never use any of the solvents, such as Thinner Spray-type cleaner, Wax, Benzene, Abrasive cleaner, Acid or Alkaline solvent, on the display. Harsh chemicals may cause damage to the cabinet and the touch sensor. Remove the dirt with a lightly moistened cloth and a mild solvent detergent. Then wipe the cabinet with a soft dry cloth. If the equipment will not be used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid damage by transient over voltage. Never pour any liquid into openings. This may cause fire or electrical shock. If one of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service personnel:
a. The power cord or plug is damaged. b. Liquid has penetrated into the equipment. c. The equipment has been exposed to moisture. d. The equipment does not work well, or you cannot get it to work according to the users manual. e. The equipment has been dropped or damaged. f. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage. Rechargeable Battery Pack Safety With very little care, you can optimize the battery life and maximize the lifespan of the battery. Most importantly, use only the equipment in its ideal operating temperature (as described in 1.4 Specifications) do not leave it in a hot trunk during the summer. Using the Equipment for the First Time Be sure to fully charge (approx. 4 hours) the equipment when charging the equipment for the first time. Long-Term Storage & Maintenance If you are putting away the battery for more than three months, it is recommended that the battery should be stored separately and fully charged, and get recharged every three months. If you store an uncharged battery, it could fall into a deep worn-out state which would render it incapable of holding any charge. Be sure to store the equipment and battery at the proper temperature.

Be sure to charge the battery to full when you are charging it for the first time. Tips:
Please keep the DC in charging status at work if available.In order to ensure the life and performance of the battery, if your tablet has been stored in the warehouse for more than three months, it is recommended to charge the battery every three months. 2.3.1.Charging with the Power Adapter To charge the battery with the provided power adapter:
a. If the device with an optional docking station, then mount the VT-7GA/VT-
7GE tablet with docking station, connect the power adapter to the DC port of Docking Station. b. The VT-7GA/VT-7GE could be powered by 5V charger adapter through a type-C cable. c. The DC power supply voltage input range of the docking station is 8-36V, and the DC power supply of the tablet is 5V. Please note that the adapter must be of the corresponding specification when supplying power to the tablet or the docking station. Note:
1. Tablet powered via docking station When the docking station is connected to 8~36V power supply, and the ACC 8 Users Manual wiring is connected to a power supply above 5~36V, the docking station can keep supplying power to the tablet;
When the Docking station is connected to 8~36V power supply, and the voltage of the ACC wiring drops from 5~36V to below 4V, the docking station will continue to supply power to the tablet for one hour, and then stop supplying power to the tablet. This is to simulate the situation that the car is turned off, to prevent the tablet from continuing to consume a large amount of vehicle battery power, resulting in the car not being able to ignite and start;
When the docking station is connected to 8~36V power supply, and the connection voltage of the ACC wiring is always less than 4V, the docking station will not supply power to the tablet;
2. Tablet powered via Type-C The voltage requirement range is 4.75~5.25V, and a 5V/2A power adapter is recommended. Note:
The power supply of the docking station has priority over the Type-C power supply. When both power sources are present, the tablet will automatically switch to be powered by the docking station. 2.3.2.Checking the Battery Level a. When the charging is in process, a battery indicator will appear in the status bar showing the charging percentage. To view the charge percentage, swipe down the Status Bar and you will see the charging percentage. b. When the battery is fully charged, you can disconnect the DC input or USB type-c cable. If available, please keep the device in charging by DC power supply. 9 Users Manual 2.3.3.Installing/Replacing the Battery In case you need to install or replace the battery, follow the steps below to access the battery chamber and replace the battery. 1. Place the device on a flat surface, with the rear side facing up. Loosen the retaining screws on the back cover by using a Hexagon socket screwdriver with flat head. 2. To install a new battery, orient the new battery so that the contact pins are aligned correctly. 3. Assemble the battery cover and secure the retaining screws by using a Hexagon socket screwdriver with flat head. 2.4. Optimizing Battery Life If the VT-7GA/VT-7GE is unable to keep charging by DC power supply, to optimize the operating time of the battery, it is recommended that you do the following:
Decrease the LCD display brightness. Set a shorter timeout of inactivity to allow the screen enter sleep mode. 10 Turn off the display if you are not using it. Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS function if you are not using it. Set a battery protection plan to automatically turn on battery protection when the battery is below the set threshold.
