• 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, remove the battery and allow the device
to dry completely before replacing it.
• 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 other than as instructed in this
guide.
• 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.
