 S-TAG Datasheet(ST-GR1600N)  REV 1.0 Solu-M 20/23   6 Cautions for Treatment   Provisions should be made to protect against any damage to the product caused by improper handling.   It is highly recommended that the product should be installed within 3 months from the date of arrival in the logistics hub. Recommended storage condition is in 0-40 Celsius degree, 35-70% RH environment.   This RF device operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band and can produce radio interference. The device, therefore, may not be used for applications where safety of human lives is concerned.  6.1 Usage Environment   Take extra cautions when using this RF device in the vicinity of other electronic devices and appliances. Most electronic devices and appliances use electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves emitted by this RF device can affect other electronic devices and appliances.  If using the device in an explosion hazard area, follow all safety regulations, instructions, and signals.  6.2 Storage and Use   Moisture and liquids can damage internal parts and circuit boards if allowed to enter into the device itself.  Do  not  place  or  store  the  product  on  a  sloped  surface.  The  product  may  slide  and  fall  off  the surface and damaged.  Use the product in temperatures ranging from 0  to +40 . Parts and circuits may be damaged if used or stored under temperature extremes.  The display panel needs extra care when handling. - Do not apply any impacts on outside since e-Paper display is fragile. - Continuous  exposure  to  excessive  moisture  (over  60%  RH)  or  UV  makes  display  lifetime shortened. - Ghosting image may be appeared in temperature conditions of less than 15 Celsius degree.  Avoid areas with strong magnetism or subject to magnetism.  Contact between the device and a magnetic object can lead to malfunctions.  Do not place the product near heat-producing kitchen appliances like a stove or a microwave or in the vicinity of highly pressurized containers.
S-TAG Datasheet(ST-GR1600N)REV 1.0  Solu-M 21/23 External  impact to the product,  such as  from being dropped, can damage  the product  or battery casing can be separated. Twisting and bending the product can damage the exterior casing and the internal components. If  this  product  operates  abnormally  in  eliminating  battery  vinyl  or  replacing  battery,  you  should discharge it by contacting battery terminal (+) and (-). This  product  uses  2.4GHz  frequency  band  for  wireless  communication  network.  Radio communications can be limited or affected by other applications which share same frequency band, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc. Frequent communications, updates and screen renewals may reduce battery life time. 6.3 Battery Replacement Audience Authorized persons with the following knowledge are allowed to replace the battery. - .  Battery  /  -.  Electronic assemblies like circuit board /  -. Compliance of the instruction Note : If not authorized person, it will not give any warranty.                   (When need to replace the battery. Please contact authorized person and get instructions.)      Instructions        - Risk of short circuit if battery is incorrectly installed/stored.       - Keep attention that your hands are dry before you start with replacement       - Keep away batteries from children and infants.       - Don’t heat, charge, bend, drop, short-circuit and disassemble battery.- Don’t mix the used battery together with the new battery or different type of batteries. Note : Battery rarely has a little stain or leak.  Steps   Open the battery cover.  Take out the batteries.  Put in the new batteries.  Check the batteries direction.  Put the battery cover.
