16. Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage and enjoy your device for many years.
•Keep the device and all its parts and enhancements out of the reach of small children.
•When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory or enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
•Check regularly that enhancements installed in a vehicle are mounted and are operating properly.
•Installation of any complex car enhancements must be made by qualified personnel only.
•Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, remove the battery and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
•Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
•Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
•Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
•Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.
•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.
•Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
•Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the device and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
•Use chargers indoors.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorised service facility for service.
Before sending your device to a service facility, create a backup of data you want to keep such as contacts and calendar notes.
