Leaving the device in hot or cold
places, such as in a closed car in
summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery. Always try to keep the battery
between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and
77°F). A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily,
even when the battery is fully charged.
Battery performance is particularly
limited in temperatures well below
freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as
they may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged.
Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior
design and craftsmanship and should
be treated with care. The following
suggestions will help you protect your
warranty coverage.
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, allow it
to dry completely.
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.
Do not drop, knock, or shake the
device. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards and fine
mechanics.
