Safety information
Read this guide for important safety and health information and the terms of the Limited Warranty that apply to the
Battery safety
Lithium-Ion batteries are classified by the U. S. Federal Government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. These batteries contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Non-approved batteries will not function in the device. Use only the battery for the system for which it was specified. Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per this standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
There are no user-serviceable parts in the batteries. Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred the battery. Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard. Do not expose to temperatures above +70 °C (+158 °F).
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
-
Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the battery terminals.
-
Avoid dropping the device or battery. If dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage to the battery, take it to a service center for inspection.
-
In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice.
-
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Power supply safety
Use only AC and vehicle adapters intended for the device. Other external power sources may damage your product and void the warranty.
-
Ensure the input voltage on the adapter matches the voltage in your location. Ensure the adapter has prongs compatible with your outlets.
-
The AC power supply is designed for indoor use only. Avoid using the AC power supply in wet areas.
-
Unplug the power supply from power when not in use.
-
Do not short the output connector.
Touchscreen glass
The touchscreen on this device is made of glass. This glass could break if the device is dropped on a hard surface or receives a significant impact. If the glass chips or cracks, do not touch or attempt to remove the broken glass. Cracked or chipped glass due to misuse or abuse is not covered under the product’s limited warranty.
Service safety
Do not attempt to take apart, open, service, or modify the product, accessories, or power supply. Doing so could present the risk of electric shock or other hazard. Any evidence of any attempt to open and/or modify this device, including any peeling, puncturing, or removal of any of the labels, will void the Limited Warranty.
Safe environments of use
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted and can include fueling areas, such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain dust, or metal powders. When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do not remove or install battery chargers, AC adapters, or any other accessory. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire.
Hearing damage
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen to high volumes for long periods.
Distraction
Using the device in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices (for example, avoid operating the device while driving a vehicle).
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA)
Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the device OFF immediately.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn the device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device complies with FCC and CE standards when used as designed.
SAR is measured with this device at a separation of 5 mm to the body, while transmitting at the highest certified output power level in all frequency bands of this device. Keep this device at least 5 mm away from your body to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels.
