Safety Precautions

For your safety and protection of the BrailleSense Polaris MINI, please read and abide by the following safety precautions.

1.The input voltage of the AC adapter is 100V - 240V, and the output is DC 5V / 2A.

2.When the BrailleSense Polaris MINI is shipped, the battery may be packaged separate from the unit to avoid damage. When you use the BrailleSense Polaris MINI for the first time, you may need to open the package, remove the battery, and insert it into the battery slot at the underside of the unit. (See section 1, introduction, for more details on inserting the battery.) It is possible that the dealer or distributor from whom you purchased the BrailleSense Polaris MINI has already done this for you. The battery may not be fully charged when it is shipped. Before you use the BrailleSense Polaris MINI, you should ensure the battery is fully charged.

3.When you use the BrailleSense Polaris MINI with the battery for the first time, the battery status may not be displayed accurately. To avoid this, leave the BrailleSense Polaris MINI connected to the AC adapter for about four hours with the unit turned on. If you want to use the BrailleSense Polaris MINI immediately, you may use it while it is charging.

4.If you want or need to remove the battery from the unit, power the unit off, and then remove the battery. If the unit is connected to AC power, before re-inserting the battery in to the unit, make certain that the power is off.

There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Please make certain to use only battery packs produced specifically for the BrailleSense Polaris MINI by SELVAS Healthcare. Please dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

2

5.If the usage time is less than 50% as compared to the stated battery run time in the product specifications, even after a full charge, it is recommended that you replace the battery.

6.It is recommended to remove and store the battery separate from the product during long periods of disuse.

7.If you drill into or disassemble the product or battery using a sharp point, it may cause electric shock, explosion or fire.

8.When you are using the BrailleSense Polaris MINI on battery power, the status of the remaining battery power is announced when the battery charge is low. When the battery's charge falls below 15 percent, connect the AC adapter to the unit for recharging. If the remaining battery charge drops to five percent, and the unit is not connected to the AC adapter, the BrailleSense Polaris MINI goes in to Sleep mode one minute after the announcement of the battery's status. At 2%, the unit shuts down to preserve settings, etc. The amount of battery life per charge varies depending on the options you have set and the number and type of tasks you are running.

9.Your BrailleSense Polaris MINI needs to be handled with care. The BrailleSense Polaris MINI is a very delicate machine. Please handle the unit in a proper, careful manner. The BrailleSense Polaris MINI is very sensitive to dust. Make sure to keep it away from dusty environments.

10.The Braille cells are very sensitive, intricate parts. If the Braille cells are not working properly due to the presence of dust or for any other reason, please contact our repair center, or the dealer from whom you purchased the BrailleSense Polaris MINI for support.

11.You should register your BrailleSense Polaris MINI in order to ensure further maintenance, service, and upgrade information. In the US, please visit hims-, to register your information. If you have any trouble when registering your information, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased your BrailleSense Polaris MINI for

3

help. International customers should contact their regional dealer for information about product registration.

12.Do not disassemble the BrailleSense Polaris MINI yourself. Do not have anyone else who is not authorized by HIMS take apart the BrailleSense Polaris MINI. If an unqualified person disassembles the unit, serious damage may occur. If an unauthorized person disassembles the unit, it is excluded from any free maintenance, and the warranty becomes void. If any liquid or external force damages the unit, it may also be excluded from free maintenance, even if the damage occurs during the warranty period. The BrailleSense Polaris MINI contains a Liquid Contact Indicator sticker that will change color if the unit comes in contact with water or other liquids. This indicator will not activate under humid or other conditions that fall within the product's normal environmental requirements.

13.Do not leave your BrailleSense Polaris MINI in closed, high temperature environments such as inside a car on a hot summer day, as the battery may be damaged or catch fire. Please do not let your BrailleSense Polaris MINI remain in such environments for long periods of time.
