For safety reasons, it is necessary to solve all the problems before continuing to navigate. 
Please DO NOT shake or clash this device, and please be aware that the dust-proof and 
water-proof are NOT guaranteed. The rechargeable battery is built inside, so please DO NOT 
detach it from the device arbitrarily. Meanwhile, please DO NOT use this device under the 
circumstances as below: 
1.  In extremely hot, humid or cold environment, for example, under the direct sun or in rain
