Good to know

The device is meant primarily for indoor use. Recommended operating temperature range is +5 

°C…+35 °C (+41 °F …+95 °F). If used in warmer or cooler environment, the operating time might be 

significantly reduced and the device might automatically shut down.

The device will get warm during use, as it is a powerful computing device. Especially the metallic parts 

in the front cover might get very warm as their purpose is to dissipate the heat. This is normal and 

expected. Avoid touching the warm parts unnecessarily if feeling uncomfortable.
