Charging your batteries
Ensure to fully charge your battery pack before using your
ASUS Tablet in battery mode for extended periods. Remember
that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as it is
plugged into an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much
longer to charge the battery pack when the ASUS Tablet is in
use.
IMPORTANT! Do not leave the ASUS Tablet connected to
the power supply once it is fully charged. ASUS Tablet is not
designed to be left connected to the power supply for extended
periods of time.
Airplane precautions
Contact your airline provider to learn about related inight
services that can be used and restrictions that must be followed
when using your ASUS Tablet in-ight.
IMPORTANT! You can send your ASUS Tablet through x-ray
machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), but do not
expose them from magnetic detectors and wands.
Safety precautions
This ASUS Tablet should only be used in enviroments with
ambient temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and 35°C (95°F).
Long time exposure to extremely high or low temperature
may quickly deplete and shorten the battery life. To ensure the
battery’s optimal performance, ensure that it is exposed within
the recommended environment temperature.

Federal Communications Commission
Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by doing one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent
from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to
operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Operation on the 5.15-5.25 GHz frequency band is restricted for
indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25
GHz band to reduce the potential for harmful interference to
co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems. It will only transmit on
5.25-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.725 GHz and 5.725-5.850 GHz bands
when associated with an access point (AP).
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure
to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT
transmitting at the specied power level in dierent channels.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is
1.35 W/kg when placed next to the body.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is
on le with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
MSQK00A.
Canada, Industry Canada (IC) Notices
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003
and RSS-210.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device. The IC ID for this device is
3568A-K00A.
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information
The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below
the Industry Canada (IC) radio frequency exposure limits. The
Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such that
the potential for human contact during normal operation is
minimized.
This device has been evaluated for and shown compliant with
the IC Specic Absorption Rate (“SAR”) limits when installed
in specic host products operated in portable exposure
conditions.

IC Warning Statement
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in
case of absence of information to transmit, or operational
failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of
control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes
where required by the technology.
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage
to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel
mobile satellite systems; the maximum antenna gain permitted
(for device in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz)
to comply with the EIRP limit; and the maximum antenna gain
permitted (for devices in the band 5275-5850 MHz) to comply
with the EIRP limits specied for point-to-point and non point-
to-point operation as appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3).
In addition, high-power radars are allocated as primary users
(meaning they have priority) of the band 5250-5350 MHz and
this radar could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN
devices.

RF Exposure information (SAR) - CE
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the
limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic
elds by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the
protection of the general public. These recommendations
have been developed and checked by independent scientic
organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of
scientic studies. The unit of measurement for the European
Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specic
Absorption Rate” (SAR), and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/Kg averaged
over 10 gram of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP).
For next-to-body operation, this device has been tested and
meets the ICNRP exposure guidelines and the European
Standard EN 62311 and EN 62209-2. SAR is measured with the
device directly contacted to the body while transmitting at the
highest certied output power level in all frequency bands of
the mobile device.
