S-TAG Datasheet(ST-GR29)REV 1.0 Solu-M 20/236Cautions for TreatmentProvisions 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 EnvironmentTake 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 lifetimeshortened.-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 inthe vicinity of highly pressurized containers.
S-TAG Datasheet(ST-GR29)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 ReplacementAudienceAuthorized persons with the following knowledge are allowed to replace the battery.- .

S-TAG Datasheet(ST-GR29)REV 1.0 Solu-M 23/23WARNING : This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, Including interference that may cause undesired operation.NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection againstharmful interference in a residential installation This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications, However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in aparticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by 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 different from that to which the receiver is connected.- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Caution :This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment. Avoid operating this device at a distance less than 20cm from the user “This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body”
