13 CAUTION UNPLUG THE CABLE  For safety reasons, unplug the AC adapter and single-pack charger if they will not be used for a long time. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock or fire.
14 Correctly Using the iPAD Using the main battery  To prevent deterioration, do not store the main battery for a long time when it is fully charged. For long-term storage, remove the battery from the IPAD when it is about 50% charged and store it at room temperature.  If the battery has not been used for a long time, recharge it.  Be careful not to short-circuit the battery terminals with a necklace or other metallic object.  Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire.  Do not leave the battery in a car exposed to sunlight or in direct sunlight.  Do not allow the battery to become wet.  Do not apply a strong shock to the battery. Do not drop the battery.
15  Using the iPAD at low temperatures (below 10oC) −−−− At low temperatures (below 10oC), the iPAD does not operate as long as it does at room temperature. In an environment of 10oC, operating time is about 70% of that at room temperature, and in an environment of 0oC, it is about 50% (new battery used). If operation in a low-temperature environment is possible, review charging procedures and operation. −−−− In operation at low temperatures (below 10oC), replacing the battery with one that is only partially charged will result in a very short operating time. Be sure to replace the battery with a fully charged one. −−−− Keep a spare battery warm until you use it by, for example, putting it in your pocket. If you warm a battery with a body warmer, be careful that the battery does not come into direct contact with the body warmer.  If a message indicating that charging is required (battery status message) is displayed, promptly charge the battery or replace the battery with a spare battery.
16  Be careful that no dust, sand, or other foreign matter enters the terminal section while you are using the iPAD. If any foreign matter gets in, completely remove it using a soft-tipped cotton swab or gauze, then repeat several times inserting the iPAD into the charger or device and then removing it.  The iPAD may not charge if the terminals are dirty.  Despite complete charging, the battery naturally discharges little by little as time passes. If possible, charge the battery again just before using it (within one or two days). Store the battery in as cool a place as possible and charge it at an ambient temperature of 10oC to 30oC. Doing so will increase the life of the battery.
17 Using the auxiliary battery  Auxiliary battery alarm message A warning message appears in the center of the screen if the voltage of the auxiliary battery drops or the auxiliary battery is not connected. The programs and data in memory will be lost if you replace the main battery while this message is displayed. Immediately charge the auxiliary battery. >>Reference>> For information about charging the auxiliary battery, see Section 1.2.4, "Charging the auxiliary battery."
18 Long-term storage Store the iPAD where it will not be exposed to vibration, dust, high and low temperatures, high humidity, and direct sunlight.  Storing the iPAD with the programs saved To avoid discharging of the main and auxiliary batteries, charge the main battery once every week. Without charging, the programs and data in memory will be lost.  Storing the iPAD without the programs saved To store the iPAD without the programs saved, remove the main battery and completely reset the iPAD. >>Reference>> For information about removing the battery, see Section 1.2.3," Installing and removing the main battery," and Section 1.2.4, "Charging the auxiliary battery." For information about completely resetting the iPAD, see Section 3.7.2, "Completely resetting the iPAD."
19 Cleaning  Clean the cover of the iPAD using a cloth moistened with a solution of water and neutral detergent and wrung out or a dry cloth. If you use a damp cloth, be sure to wring it out thoroughly to prevent water from getting into the iPAD, causing a malfunction. Do not wipe the iPAD using thinner, benzine, or other volatile solvent. Such materials can discolor the iPAD or erase printed characters.  Wipe the display area of theiPAD using a cloth moistened with water and wrung out thoroughly or a glass wipe with a very fine texture.  Occasionally clean the cradle interface using a dry cotton swab or gauze. If the terminals become dirty, contact may be poor, causing the IPAD to turn off or disabling normal charging and communication.
20 Other precautions  Do not disassemble or modify the iPAD.  To prevent the iPAD from malfunctioning, do not leave the iPAD, even for a short time, where it is exposed to any of the following conditions: −−−− Extreme heat (for example, car in sunlight with the windows closed) −−−− Direct sunlight −−−− Extreme heat or cold −−−− Dust −−−− Strong vibration −−−− Humidity  Do not apply a strong shock to the iPAD. Do not drop the iPAD.  Be careful not to hold the iPAD for a long time in a high-temperature environment (35oC or higher). Doing so may result in a low-temperature burn.
