charging the device for 8 to 12 hours when off. Full charging will

subsequently take 2.5 to 3 hours It’s strongly recommended to keep

the Device off during the first charge, otherwise power consumption

may be more, than charging, especially when you charge it from PC.

1. Make sure the Device is off. In opposite case, press On/Off button

for a few seconds and select Power Off in menu appeared. The Device

will shut down.

2. Connect your Device to a computer or power supply using the mi-

croUSB cable included in package.

• Connect a USB cable to the jack of the Device:

ATTENTION! Incorrect connection of the USB cable can seriously damage the

Device. Damages of the Device, caused by incorrect connection, aren’t covered by

warranty.

• While the USB cable is connected, the Device should be near to

PC/charger.

NOTE It’s recommended to charge the battery using the charging device. In case if

you charge the battery from PC, it’s better to keep the Device off, because power

consumption may be more, than charging.

Certification information (SAR) The device meets guidelines for expo-

sure to radio waves

Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the

limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines.

These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization

ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all per-

sons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measurement known as

the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guide-

lines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for

SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmit-

ting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

This equipment complies with the European Council Recommendation of 12

July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure of the General Public to Electromag-

netic Fields [1999/519/EC].
