Safety Warnings
Handling
To avoid damaging your device, accessories or any connected devices, and to reduce the risk of personal injury, discomfort, property damage or other potential hazards, follow the precautions below.
Handle your device with care. You may damage the device if you disassemble, drop, bend, burn, crush or puncture your device. Using a damaged device may cause injury. Don’t 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. The device is designed to operate in a dry, indoor environment.
Your device 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 leave your device in places where the temperature may exceed 45° C, such as on a car dashboard or near a heating vent, as this may damage the product, or pose a risk of fire. Keep your device 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 don’t use it until it has cooled.
Contact customer service and do not use your device if it isn’t working properly or has been damaged.

Use
Make sure that the keyboard is well ventilated when in use. Avoid using the device in direct sunlight.
This product is intended for use only with the Pixel Slate. Failure to use with compatible devices can cause fire, electric shock, injury or damage to the device and the accessories.
Prolonged Heat Exposure
The keyboard generates heat during normal operation and complies with applicable surface temperature standards and limits. Avoid prolonged, direct or indirect 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 your keyboard, 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.
Medical Device Interference
Your device uses components that emit electromagnetic fields, and also contains magnets in various locations to support use with the Pixel Slate. These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers and other implanted medical devices. If you have questions about using your Google device with or near your pacemaker or other implanted medical device, consult your healthcare provider before using Pixel Slate Keyboard. If you suspect your device is interfering with your pacemaker or other implanted medical devices, turn off your Google device, move it away from your medical device and consult your doctor for information specific to your medical device.
Explosive Atmospheres
Do not charge, use, store or transport your keyboard where flammables or explosives are stored (in petrol stations, fuel depots or chemical plants, for example). Do not use your device where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such as in areas where the air contains high levels of flammable chemicals, vapours or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders). Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. Observe all notices and signs where these hazards might be present.
