Handling

Handle your device with care. Using a damaged device may cause overheating or injury. Do not expose your device to liquids, which can cause a short circuit and overheating. If your device gets wet, do not attempt to dry it using an external heat source.

Child Safety

This device is not a toy. Your device may contain (or may come with) small parts, plastic, cables, glass, or metal elements, and parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or create a choking or strangulation hazard. Children have strangled on cords and cables. Keep the device and its accessories, including cords and cables, out of the reach of children (more than 3 feet (0.9 meters) away) and do not allow them to play with the device and its accessories. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the device. Seek medical attention immediately if small parts are swallowed or injury occurs.

Environmental Restrictions

The device is designed to operate in a dry, indoor environment, and not built for outdoor use.Your device works best in ambient temperatures between 32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C), and should be stored between ambient temperatures of -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). Do not leave your device inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 113°F (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 device, overheat the battery, or pose a risk of fire or explosion. Keep your device away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight.

To prevent damage to your device parts or internal circuits, do not use or store the device or its accessories in dusty, smoky, damp, dirty environments, near magnetic fields or combustible gas.

Your device is designed to work best at an altitude of up to 16404 ft (5000 m).

Prolonged Heat Exposure

The device and its charger generate heat during normal operation, and comply with applicable surface temperature standards and limits. Avoid prolonged skin contact when your device is charging because exposing skin to hot surfaces for a long period of time may cause discomfort or burns. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against your skin. Remove your device if it feels hot or uncomfortably warm. Do not sleep on or with your device or its power adapter while it is charging, or cover them with a blanket or pillow while any of them are connected to a power source or charging.

Charging

Be sure the device and its charging device are well ventilated when in use or charging. Using damaged cables, chargers, or charging when moisture or debris is present can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to the device or other property. Only charge your device on a hard surface. Do not charge your device on a soft or flammable surface, such as a couch or bed, or when it’s wet. Avoid charging your device in direct sunlight. Avoid sleeping on a device, power adapter, or placing them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when it’s connected to a power source as these situations can result in personal injury or fire.

When charging the device, make sure the power adapter is plugged into a power outlet near the device and is easily accessible. Do not force the power adapter and other plugs or power adapters into a power outlet if space is not sufficient to accommodate both. When disconnecting the power adapter from a power outlet, pull on the adapter, never on the charging cable. Do not twist or pinch the cable, and do not force a connector into a port. If you receive a message while charging that instructs you to unplug the charging device or, disconnect the charging device. Before attempting to charge again, make sure both the charging cable connector and the device's charging port are dry and clear of any objects.

Do not place metallic or magnetic objects on the exposed pins of the charger when it is plugged in, as this could cause heating of the object or charger.
