Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the device and reduce the charging capacity and life of your device and batteries.

Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and - terminals of your batteries and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage.

Never use a damaged charger or battery.

Handle your device carefully and sensibly

Do not disassemble your device due to a risk of electric shock.

Do not allow your device to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage and will change the colour of the label that indicates water damage inside the device. Do not handle your device with wet hands. Water damage to your device can void your manufacturer’s warranty.

Avoid using or storing your device in dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage to moving parts.

Your device is a complex electronic device—protect it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious damage.

Do not paint your device, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.

If your device has a camera flash or light, avoid using it close to the eyes of children or animals.

Your device may be damaged by exposure to magnetic fields. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow your device to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended periods of time.

Avoid interference with other electronic devices

Your device emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems you experience.
