•Your MyFi is not waterproof. Avoid splashing it with liquids and never submerge it.
•Take your MyFi with you when you leave your vehicle, especially on a hot day. Not only can you continue to enjoy XM programming, but you’ll also prolong the life of your MyFi’s case, display, and battery.
•If your MyFi gets dirty, wipe the case with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water, then wipe dry with another cloth. Avoid chemicals such as paint thinner, alcohol, or abrasive cleansers.
