REPLACING THE TABLET BATTERY

If your tablet battery has exceeded its life span and can no longer be adequately charged, it will need to be replaced. Be sure to use only a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery designed for your tablet. For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories.

Warning: NEVER attempt to charge other battery types in your tablet with the power adapter. If you do so, you may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.

To replace the tablet battery:

1.First turn the wireless tablet upside down and slide open the battery compartment door.

2.Carefully remove the old tablet battery by disconnecting the cable from the tablet.

3.Align the notch on the new battery cable plug with the cutout in the tablet connector, then press the plug into the connector as shown.

Important: When replacing the tablet battery, be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces. The battery can be damaged internally when dropped, and should be replaced even if there is no obvious damage. This will help prevent any future damage that could occur to the tablet if the battery has been dropped, is installed in the tablet, and then later develops a short or leak while in the tablet.

Properly dispose of the old battery in accordance with the battery manufacturer recommendations, and with the warnings listed below. Keep batteries out of the reach of children, and promptly dispose of old batteries.

Many communities offer voluntary or mandatory recycling programs for batteries – when disposing of batteries, follow all applicable laws and recycle your old batteries whenever possible.

4. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the compartment door.

Warnings:

When installing the battery, do not attempt to install it backwards or reverse the polarity. If you do so, you may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.

When disposing of the Li-Ion battery, do not carry it loosely in your pocket or in any container that may contain metal objects. If transported improperly and metal objects come in contact with the battery terminals, the battery could short, causing personal injury or fire. It is recommended that you cover the terminals with adhesive tape to insulate them from possible contact with metal objects.

Do not abuse the battery in any manner. Puncturing, crushing, heating, exposure to water or fire, disassembly, shorting the terminals, or other types of abuse may cause the battery to explode or ignite, and potentially cause a fire or personal injury.

If the battery should leak, do not get the fluid in your eye. If battery fluid does enter the eye, do not rub the eye. Immediately rinse the affected eye with water and seek medical attention.
