This section contains important information about the operation of your device. It also

contains information about how to use the device safely. Read this information carefully

before using your device.

Electronic device

Do not use your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use the device if doing so causes

danger or interference with other electronic devices.

Interference with medical equipment

Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do not use your

device where prohibited.

Some wireless devices may affect the performance of hearing aids orpacemakers. Consult your

service provider for more information.

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm be maintained

between a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the pacemaker. If

using a pacemaker, hold the device on the side opposite the pacemaker and do not carry the

device in your front pocket.

Areas with flammables and explosives

Do not use the device where flammables or explosives are stored (in a gas station, oil

depot, or chemical plant, for example). Using your device in these environments increases

the risk of explosion or fire. In addition, follow the instructions indicated in text or

symbols.

Do not store or transport the device in containers with flammable liquids, gases, or

explosives.

Operating environment

Avoid dusty, damp, or dirty environments. Avoid magnetic fields. Using the device in these

environments may result in circuit malfunctions.

Before connecting and disconnecting cables, stop using the device and disconnect it from the

power supply. Ensure that your hands are dry during operation.

Place the device on a stable surface.

Keep the device away from electronic appliances that generate strong magnetic or electric fields,

such as a microwave oven or refrigerator.

During thunderstorms, power off your device and remove all cables connected to it to protect

against lightning strikes.

Do not use your device during thunderstorms to protect your device against any danger caused

by lightning.

Ideal operating temperatures are 0

°C

to 40

°C

. Extreme heat or cold may damage your device or

accessories.

Keep the device and accessories in a well-ventilated and cool area away from direct sunlight.

Do not enclose or cover your device with towels or other objects. Do not place the device in a

container with poor heat dissipation, such as a box or bag.

To protect your device or accessories from fire or electrical shock hazards, avoid rain and

moisture.

Keep the device away from sources of heat and fire, such as a heater, microwave oven, stove,

water heater, radiator, or candle.

Do not place any object, such as a candle or a water container, on the device. If any foreign

object or liquid enters the device, immediately stop using it, power it off, and remove all cables

connected to it. Then, contact an authorized service center.

Do not block device openings. Reserve a minimum of 10 cm around the device to dissipate heat.

Stop using your device or applications for a while if the device is overheated. If skin is exposed

to an overheated device for an extended period, low temperature burn symptoms, such as red

spots and darker pigmentation, may occur.

Do not touch the device's antenna. Otherwise, communication quality may be reduced.

Do not allow children or pets to bite or suck the device or accessories. Doing so may result in

damage or explosion.

The device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the

radiator and your body.

Keep the device in a place with good reception. The distance between the device and other

metal materials (such as metal brackets or metal doors and windows) should be greater than

25cm and the distance between the device should be greater than 30cm.

Child's safety

Comply with all precautions with regard to child's safety. Letting children play with the device

or its accessories may be dangerous. The device includes detachable parts that may present a

choking hazard. Keep away from children.

Accessories

Using an unapproved or incompatible power adapter, charger or battery may cause fire,

explosion or other hazards.

Choose only accessories approved for use with this model by the device manufacturer. The use

of any other types of accessories may void the warranty, may violate local regulations and laws,

and may be dangerous. Please contact your retailer for information about the availability of

approved accessories in your area.

Power adapter safety

The power plug is intended to serve as a disconnect device.

For pluggable devices, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the devices and shall be easily

accessible.

Unplug the power adapter from electrical outlets and the device when not in use.

Do not drop or cause an impact to the power adapter. If it is damaged, take it to an

authorized service center for inspection.

If the power cable is damaged (for example, the cord is exposed or broken), or the plug

loosens, stop using it at once. Continued use may lead to electric shocks, short circuits, or fire.

If your device has been exposed to water, other liquids, or excessive moisture, take it to an

authorized service center for inspection.

Ensure that the power adapter meets the requirements of Clause 2.5 in IEC60950-1/EN60950-

1/UL60950-1 and has been tested and approved according to national or local standards.

Cleaning and maintenance

During storage, transportation, and operation of the device, keep it dry and protect it from

collision.

If the device is not going to be used for an extended period of time, power it off, and remove

all cables connected to it.

If anything unusual occurs (for example, if the device emits smoke or any unusual sound or

smell), immediately stop using it, power it off, remove all cables connected to it, and contact

an authorized service center.

Do not trample, pull, or excessively bend any cable. Doing so may damage the cable, causing

the device to malfunction.

Before you clean or maintain the device, stop using it, stop all applications, and disconnect all

cables connected to it.
