Doing so may result in electrical shock, short circuit or fire!

(There is a danger of electric shock, short circuit and fire!)

If the device is defective, contact customer service instead.

DANGER

Do not insert any object into the ports or openings of the device or power adapter. (There is a danger of electric shock, short circuit and fire!)

DANGER

Never touch the power adapter with wet hands due to the risk of electric shock!

DANGER

The included power adapter does not have a power switch.

To disconnect the power adapter completely from mains power, unplug it from the power outlet. The power adapter consumes a small amount of electricity (standby current) when it is plugged into a power outlet even if the tablet is not connected. Only run the power adapter on easily accessible power outlets in order to ensure it can be quickly removed in the event of an emergency.

DANGER

Do not cover the device or power adapter during operation or while charging the device. This may result in overheating (fire hazard)!

DANGER

The mains voltage of the power outlet with which you charge the device must always correspond to the voltage specified on the power adapter. If you are unsure of the mains voltage, consult your retailer or your local electricity company.

DANGER

If smoke develops or if there are any strange sounds or smells coming from the tablet, immediately remove the power adapter from the power outlet, disconnect all devices connected to the device and switch off the device (take care due to the heat!). Ensure that the device and/or the power adapter is checked by a qualified individual before using it again.

DANGER

Never throw the tablet into a fire, as the built-in lithium ion battery could explode.

DANGER

Safety is the top priority when driving. This is why we recommend that you do not use the device when driving or operating any kind of vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not use the device or the power adapter if it has been dropped and/or is damaged. Ensure that the device/power adapter is checked by a qualified individual before using it again.

CAUTION

Always ensure that the charging cable is installed securely (to prevent tripping).

CAUTION

Take extreme care to avoid knots in the charging cable and/or in other cables and do not place any heavy objects on top of cables. Always ensure that the cable is not bent sharply or crimped.

CAUTION

Due the device's high-gloss screen, it is not suitable for use at computer workstations.

CAUTION

This device can generate high volume levels (particularly when used in combination with earphones/earbuds). Never listen at high volumes for long periods. Doing so can result in immediate or gradual hearing damage. Remember: Permanent hearing damage may only emerge later in life. You may become used to listening at high volume settings over time, making them appear normal to you. However, your hearing may have already been damaged. The higher you set the volume, the more quickly your hearing can be damaged.

CAUTION

Adjusting the default settings for the equalizer can boost the device's volume levels and result in hearing loss. Changing the settings of pre-installed software (e.g., the operating system, firmware, drivers) can also increase volume levels and cause hearing loss.

Do not rest the device on your lap or other parts of your body when in use. The device may heat up, resulting in discomfort or injury.

CAUTION

The battery in the device cannot be removed by the user!

CAUTION

Do not rest the device against your vehicle's airbag or the airbag's triggering areas. Injury may result when the airbag goes off due to the powerful force behind it.

CAUTION

Repeating the same sequence of motions (for example, when writing long texts on the device or playing with the device for long periods) may result in pain in the arms, hands, shoulders or the neck area. If you determine that you are suffering from these or other ailments, stop using the device and consult a doctor.

WARNING

Do not place objects of any kind on the device.

WARNING

Do not operate the display using pointed objects. Do not place any objects on the display and do not use the display to transport objects.

If you break the glass panel, do not touch the glass fragments with your hands and do not try to remove the glass fragments from the device. Do not use the device again until the display has been replaced by qualified personnel.

WARNING

Do not install any firmware on your device unless it is provided by us! Running third-party firmware, custom ROMs or software from unofficial sources may result in damage or loss of data and cause additional malfunctions in the device. It may also void the device's warranty.

WARNING

Do not delete unknown files and do not change the names of files or folders that you did not create yourself. This can lead to software errors on the device.

WARNING

Accessing network resources makes the device vulnerable to hackers, spyware, computer viruses and other harmful activities. This may result in damage to the device itself, your data or the software. Always ensure that your device is adequately protected by means of suitable protective measures such as antivirus software, firewalls or antispyware software and always keep this software up to date.

NOTE

Do not use USB cables over 3 m in length. Longer cables may cause data transfer errors.

NOTE

7) Setting up the tablet stand

The tablet stand comes folded up. It consists of a front base section (1) with an integrated holder for the SurfTab (5), a back rest bar (2), two locking screws (3) and a rear base section (4).

Only a few steps are needed to unfold and set up the tablet stand:

a) First fold the front base section (1) forwards far enough so that it forms an angle of 45° - 90° with the rear base section (4).

NOTE

If the base section will not fold forwards without you having to exert considerable force, loosen the two locking screws (3) a little by turning them in an anti-clockwise direction. Only turn the screws as far as absolutely necessary in order to be able fold the base section forwards without exerting great force.

b) Now fold the back rest bar (2) up high enough so that it forms an angle of approx. 90° with the base area of the stand.

NOTE

When folding up the back rest bar, hold the front and rear base section (4) in position with the palm of your hand if necessary.

c) As soon as all three elements are in the required position, tighten the locking screws by turning them in a clockwise direction.

Now you can set the SurfTab in the holder (5) provided in the front base section.

The tablet stand can be folded up again at any time to save space during transport.

NOTE

Tighten the locking screws again after folding the stand up by turning them in a clockwise direction. This will prevent the stand from unfolding again and/or the locking screws becoming loose and getting lost.

25) Useful tips on saving energy

• Deactivate the WiFi function when it is not in use.
• Deactivate the Bluetooth connection when it is not in use.
• Only leave the tablet connected to the socket until the battery is fully charged.
• Switch to standby mode when the tablet is not in use or switch it off completely.

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.

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 8) 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).

27) Glossary

Apps/applications

An app (abbreviation of the word "APPLICATIONS") or application is a program that you can download from the Play Store, for example, and install on your SurfTab.

Games, programs for playing back images and music files, word processing programs and a lot more are available.

Audio out/mic in

This description of the audio port on your SurfTab indicates that you can connect simple headphones or earphones (audio signal out) to the port as well as a headset with microphone (audio/microphone signal in).

Bluetooth®

Bluetooth is a standardised wireless interface on your SurfTab that enables a wireless exchange of data between your SurfTab and other suitable peripheral devices.

Multi-touch display

A touch display is a screen that responds to command inputs via pressure points (for example, from a finger or a stylus pen). The multi-touch display is an extension of the "simple" touch display: It can simultaneously recognise the input of multiple pressure points. The multi-touch display is the most important element for operating your SurfTab.

On-screen keyboard

The on-screen keyboard is a digital keyboard that allows you to enter text. The on-screen keyboard appears on your screen ("On Screen") as soon as you tap an input field. To write in the input bar, all you need to do is tap the letters you require on the on-screen keyboard.

Play Store

The Play Store is an online store offered by Google with lots of useful and interesting apps that you can download to your SurfTab. See Section 18 for information on how to download apps from the Play Store. Note that you need to pay for some apps (paid apps are clearly labelled as such in the Play Store).

USB

USB stands for "UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS" and is the name of a cable-based interface on your SurfTab. It is used to connect peripheral devices and exchange data between your SurfTab and external devices such as a USB stick or a PC.

USB host adapter cable

The USB host adapter cable included in the package contents of your SurfTab features a Micro-USB plug (for connecting to the Micro-USB socket of your SurfTab) and a USB socket on the other end. You can use this cable to connect USB sticks to the Micro-USB socket of your SurfTab.
