Storing the System Long-Term
If you don’t plan on using your Sahara NetSlate for more than four months, TabletKiosk 
recommends that you remove the two Lithium-Ion batteries and store them with approximately 
a 50 ~ 75% charge. If you store a Lithium-Ion battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into 
a deeply discharged state which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you 
store the batteries fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience 
some loss of capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life. Be sure to store your Tablet PC and 
batteries in a dry, cool location to prevent damage due to extreme temperatures and/or 
condensation. Charging the batteries for a short time (10-15 minutes) every few months will also 
help keep the batteries properly conditioned.

Important Safety Instructions
For your own safety and the safety of your equipment, please follow these rules for the handling 
and care of your Sahara NetSlate. Keep this information and the User’s Guide for future reference 
by you and other users.

Never pour liquids into any opening or directly on the Sahara NetSlate. This could result in fire or 
electrical shock.

Check that the voltage range of the power outlet is between 100V and 240V before connecting 
the Sahara NetSlate. Exceeding the maximum rated voltage may cause damage to the AC 
adapter or to the Sahara NetSlate. This could result in fire or electrical shock.

When the AC adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet, place the power cord so it will not be 
stepped on or walked on. Do not place objects over or on the power cord.

Use the Sahara NetSlate in a clean, dry, temperature controlled environment. Do not use the 
tablet in areas of high humidity, around water (for example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen 
sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool) or outdoors while it is raining.

Never open or disassemble the Sahara NetSlate. For safety reasons, and to prevent permanent 
damage, the equipment should only be repaired by qualified service personnel.

Contact a qualified service center if any of the following issues should arise:

1. 

AC adapter, power cord or plug is damaged;

2. 

Liquid has been spilled into the Sahara NetSlate;

3. 

The Sahara NetSlate has been exposed to excessive moisture;

4. 

The Sahara NetSlate exhibits errors and/or does not function according to specifications;

5. 

The Sahara NetSlate has been dropped or otherwise physically damaged.

Caution
Lithium-Ion batteries can be dangerous.  There is a danger of explosion if the batteries 
are incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by 
the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to state or local hazardous waste 
requirements.

Under no circumstances should the user attempt to disassemble the power supply. The power 
supply has no user-replaceable parts and its insides contain components that are electrically-
charged with hazardous voltage levels that can cause serious personal injury. A defective power 
supply must be returned to your dealer.

Safety Notices for the Power Cord

This equipment has a 2 or 3-wire power cord.  Replace the power cord if it becomes damaged. 
Contact your dealer for an exact replacement.
