■

If the battery substrate comes into contact with your eyes, rinse them out with plenty of water and consult a physician immediately.

Risk of hearing loss through the use of headsets, earbuds, or headphones

The device can generate high sound levels when using headsets, earbuds, or headphones. This may result in hearing loss if your ears are exposed to high sound levels over an extended period of time. The higher you set the volume, the more quickly your hearing can be damaged. Hearing loss may occur slowly over time.

■

■

■

Do not listen to music or other audio files for an extended period of time at high volumes.

Lower the volume before connecting your headset, earbuds, or headphones.

When using headsets, earbuds, or headphones, make sure the acoustic emissions do not exceed an A-weighted sound level of 80 dB.

■

■

Always set the volume at the lowest level where you can still clearly hear the audio track being played without causing discomfort.

Do not increase the volume once you have become accustomed to that sound level.

6

■

■

Adjusting the default settings for the equalizer can boost the device’s volume levels.

Changing the settings of pre-installed software (for example, the operating system, firmware, drivers) can also increase volume levels.

Risk of multiple injuries due to reduced attentiveness

■

Safety is the top priority while driving. For this reason, it is prohibited to use the device while operating a motor vehicle.

■

■

Always be aware of your immediate surroundings to avoid putting yourself or others at risk.

When using a headset, earbuds, or headphones in public, adjust the volume so that you can still hear noises or sounds in your surroundings.

Distractions or being cut off from your surroundings may lead to accidents. It is illegal to use headsets, earbuds, or headphones while operating a motor vehicle in some regions.

Risk of interference with other electronic devices that transmit highfrequency signals

■

Switch off the device in safety or security zones where the use of mobile devices is prohibited (e.g., when the plane is taking off or landing, in hospitals, or near medical equipment). Obey the corresponding signs and warnings and strictly observe the instructions contained on them.

■

You are allowed to use the device in airplane mode with the permission of the flight crew once the aircraft has taken off. Please note that use of the device may interfere with the plane’s electronic navigation systems.

■

Refrain from using the device near other electronic devices.

Obey the corresponding signs and warnings in these areas and strictly observe all instructions contained on them.

7

CAUTION

Risk of fire or explosion when using non-approved chargers and power adapters

■

■

Watching videos and/or playing video games with rapid frame rates over an extended period of time may trigger a seizure or lead to fainting. Cease all use of the device if you are feeling unwell and wait an appropriate amount of time before starting to use it again.

If you are experiencing muscle cramps or feeling disoriented while using the device, cease all use of the device immediately and consult a physician.

■

■

■

■

■

Shield the device from direct sunlight (e. g., in the car) and do not store it near a heat source to prevent the display and device from malfunctioning and avoid the risk of the battery exploding.

Keep the device away from open flames such as candles, fireplaces, and campfires to avoid the risk of the battery exploding.

Do not expose your device to rain or to dripping or splashing water.

Do not use the device outdoors during a storm.

Should the device become wet, turn it off immediately. Ensure that the device and/or the power adapter are checked by a qualified person before using it again.

25. Troubleshooting/FAQ

In the following, you will find a list of frequently asked questions along with the appropriate answers and proposed solutions.

Why does my Surftab show less storage space than indicated on the packaging?

The storage capacity indicated on the packaging and in the technical specifications refers to the total storage capacity of your Surftab. However, a portion of the total storage is also used by the operating system and system applications.

Why am I getting no sound from my Surftab?

You may have connected headphones to your Surftab.

When headphones are connected, the speakers of the Surftab are automatically disabled.

Disconnect the headphones from the Surftab in order to activate the speakers again. If there is still no sound from the speakers, check whether the sound on the

Surftab is switched on and whether the volume is set high enough.

Why is my WiFi not shown in the list of available wireless networks on my

Surftab?

Firstly, make sure that you have enabled the WiFi function on your Surftab and that you are within range of the network.

If the required network is still not showing in spite of these steps, it may be that visibility of the network has been restricted in the router settings ("suppressed

SSID").

Check if this is the case in the router settings.

To connect to a network with suppressed SSID, go to the WiFi menu via Settings and tap the three bullet points in the WiFi menu top right.

Tap " Add network " in the drop-down window that appears, enter the network SSID and tap " Save ".

Why does my Surftab just switch off sometimes?

If the energy level of the battery falls below a critical level, the Surftab displays a corresponding warning.

If you ignore these warnings, the Surftab will turn off in order to counteract total discharge of the battery.

Total discharge can lead to a situation where it is no longer possible to charge the Surftab. For this reason, connect the tablet to the charger at this point at the latest in order to prevent data loss and damage to the battery.

30

My Surftab won’t switch on. What can I do?

The battery may not be sufficiently charged to allow the Surftab to switch on.

Connect the Surftab to the charger (see Section 7) to recharge the battery.

What can I do if the internal storage of my Surftab is full or almost full?

To relieve the pressure on the internal storage of your Surftab and free up storage space, you can transfer media files stored on the Surftab (for example, images, videos or text files) to an external storage device (for example, a USB stick or suitable memory card) or you can delete apps that you no longer require.

Can I install apps that I have downloaded onto my Surftab on external storage devices (such as SD cards, a USB stick etc.)?

No, this is not possible. You can install apps only on the Surftab.

How do I access external storage devices (USB stick, SD card)?

When you connect an external storage device, the Surftab displays a message to the effect that a device has been connected.

As soon as this message disappears, you can access the data using a file explorer app (for example, " ES File explorer " or " FileBrowser " etc., available in the Play Store) and manage it (copy, delete, edit).
