Safety warnings
Handling
Handle your Ethernet adaptor for Chromecast (Google TV) with care. You may damage the device if you disassemble, drop, bend, burn, crush or puncture your device. Do not use an adaptor with a damaged enclosure or some other form of physical damage. Using a damaged adaptor may cause overheating or injury. Don’t expose your adaptor to liquids, which can cause a short circuit and overheating. If your adaptor gets wet, do not attempt to dry it using an external heat source.
Ethernet adaptor for Chromecast (Google TV) is designed to operate in a dry, indoor environment. Your adaptor is designed to work best in ambient temperatures between 0° and 35°C, and should be stored between ambient temperatures of -20° and 45°C. Do not expose your adaptor to temperatures above 45°C, such as a heating vent, as this may damage the adaptor or pose a risk of fire. Keep your adaptor away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight. If your device becomes too hot, disconnect it from its power source if it is plugged in, move it to a cooler place and do not use it until it has cooled. Your adaptor is designed to work best at an altitude of up to 3,000 m.
Use of your device and adaptor in certain modes can cause it to generate more heat than it would under normal operating conditions. This may cause your adaptor to operate in a reduced-power mode or temporarily shut down. Use extra care when operating the device in these modes. For more information on risks associated with prolonged heat exposure, please refer to the prolonged heat exposure section below.
Repair and service
Do not attempt to repair your Ethernet adaptor for Chromecast (Google TV) yourself. Disassembling the device may cause injury or damage to your device.
Contact customer service if the adaptor is not working properly or has been damaged: g.co/cast/contact
Powering
Make sure that the power adaptor and product that it is being used with are well ventilated when in use. Using damaged cables, power adaptors, or powering when moisture is present can cause fire, electric shock, injury or damage to other property. Don’t use your adaptor when it’s wet. Avoid using your device in direct sunlight.
When powering your device, make sure that the adaptor is plugged into a power socket near the device and is easily accessible. Do not force this power adaptor and other plugs or power adaptors into a power socket if space is not sufficient to accommodate both. When disconnecting the power adaptor from a power socket, pull on the adaptor, never on the charging cable. Don’t twist or pinch the cable, and don’t force a connector into a port. If you receive a message while powering that instructs you to unplug the power adaptor, disconnect the power adaptor. Before attempting to power up again, make sure that both the power adaptor, cable connector and the device's input power port are dry and clear of any objects.
This AC adaptor has proper certifications and a limited power source output per IEC 60950-1 and classified PS2 per IEC 62368, rated 5 Volts DC, maximum 1.5 Amp.
Prolonged heat exposure
The adaptor generates heat during normal operation and complies with applicable surface temperature standards and limits. Avoid prolonged skin contact when the device is in use because exposing skin to hot surfaces for a long period of time may cause discomfort or burns. Do not sleep on or with your power adaptor, or cover it with a blanket or pillow. Be aware of this issue if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against your skin.
Child safety
This device is not a toy. Your adaptor may contain (or may come with) small parts, plastic or metal elements, and parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or create a choking hazard. Children have strangled on cords and cables. Keep the adaptor’s cords and cables out of the reach of children (more than 1 metre away) and do not allow them to play with the adaptor. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the adaptor.
Disposal, transportation and recycling
Dispose of and transport your device according to local environmental and transportation regulations. Do not improperly transport them or dispose of them in normal household waste. Improper disposal or transport may lead to fire, explosion and/or other hazards. Do not open, crush, heat above 45°C or incinerate. For more information on recycling your device, visit g.co/HWRecyclingProgram.
Environmental restrictions
To prevent damage to your adaptor parts or internal circuits, do not use or store the device in dusty, smoky, damp or dirty environments, or near magnetic fields. Keep it away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight. Do not leave your adaptor inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 45°C, such as on a car dashboard, window sill, near a heating vent, or behind glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. This may damage the adaptor, or pose a risk of fire or explosion.
Proper handling and usage
Follow these guidelines when using, storing or cleaning your adaptor:
Operating temperature
Do not use or charge the adaptor at ambient temperatures lower than 0°C or higher than 35°C. If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures, you may experience the following behaviours while the device tries to regulate its temperature: reduced performance and connectivity, inability to charge, or device power down. You may not be able to use the device while it regulates its temperature. Move the device to a cooler (or warmer) location and wait a few minutes before attempting to use it again.
Care and cleaning
Unplug the adaptor before cleaning, during lightning storms or when unused for extended periods of time. Do not clean your adaptor while it is in use as this may cause injury or damage to your device. Avoid solvent and abrasive material that may cause damage to the product surface. Do not use any chemical detergent, powder or other chemical agents (such as benzene) to clean the adaptor and cable.
Exposure to makeup, chemicals and dyed materials such as denim can stain light coloured devices.
To clean your adaptor we recommend gently wiping it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Use a dry cloth for streaks, smudges or dust and a slightly damp (not wet) cloth for colour transfers such as from makeup. For stains and grime, use ordinary household soap or bleach-free cleaning wipes. For additional care and cleaning instructions, see g.co/cast/help.
To disinfect your adaptor, you can use ordinary household disinfecting wipes or 70% isopropyl alcohol-based wipes. Don’t use wipes that contain bleach.
