Allow adequate ventilation around the AC adapter when using it to operate the
device or charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with paper or other
objects that will reduce cooling. Do not use the AC adapter while it is inside
a carrying case.
Connect the adapter to a proper power source. The voltage requirements are found
on the product case and/or packaging.
Do not use the AC adapter if the cord becomes damaged.
Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace
the unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture.
Heat Related Concerns
Your device may become very warm during normal use. It complies with the
user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standards for
Safety. Still, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause
discomfort or injury. To reduce potential heat-related concerns, follow these
guidelines:
Keep your device and its AC adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use
or charging. Allow for adequate air circulation under and around the device.
Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with your
device or its AC adapter when it’s operating or connected to a power source.
For example, don’t sleep with your device or its AC adapter, or place it under
a blanket or pillow, and avoid contact between your body and your device when
the AC adapter is connected to a power source. Take special care if you have
a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body.
If your device is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While
the temperature may not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact
with the device for a long time, for example if you rest the device on your
lap, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury.
