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.

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.

Unauthorised modifications or attachments could damage the device and
may violate regulations governing radio devices.

These 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.

Disposal
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, literature, or
packaging reminds you that all electrical and electronic products,
batteries, and accumulators must be taken to separate collection at the

end of their working life. This requirement applies to the European Union and
other locations where separate collection systems are available. Do not dispose
of these products as unsorted municipal waste.

By returning the products to collection you help prevent uncontrolled waste
disposal and promote the reuse of material resources. More detailed information
