Important safety precautions Please read the safety and operation instructions before using your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet or any accessories that came with it. Retain these instructions for future use. In some countries there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth® enabled and wireless devices with encryption software. Check with your local authorities. Before you use your tablet, it is important that you read the compliance information and the guidelines for safe use that are found in this guide.
Avoid using your tablet outdoors in direct sunlight as this might cause your tablet to overheat, which could present a burn or fire risk, and damage your tablet. Use of the tablet in direct sunlight could also reflect sun into your eyes and onto your skin causing eye damage and sunburn. Do not install your tablet in your vehicle or use it while driving. Using your tablet while driving could put you and others at greater risk of an accident causing serious injury, death, and property loss.
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off all wireless connections on your tablet when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. Certain jurisdictions might prohibit or restrict your use of certain features on your tablet.
Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles as this might result in a risk of fire or electric shock. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or the plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when you disconnect the charging accessory from the power outlet or convenience receptacle. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where the power cord connects to your tablet.
Accessories Use only those accessories approved by Research In Motion. Using any accessories not approved by RIM for use with this tablet model might invalidate any approval or warranty applicable to the tablet, might result in the non-operation of the tablet, and might be dangerous. Operating and storage temperatures Situate your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet or accessories away from heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Repetitive strain: When using your tablet, take frequent breaks. If you experience any discomfort in your neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, hands (including thumbs and fingers), or other parts of the body when using your tablet, cease use immediately. If discomfort persists, consult a physician. Service Only qualified service personnel should perform repairs to this tablet.
