rain or allow any liquid to get inside this
product. Water and moisture may cause
short-circuit to the electronic components
and lead to malfunctions.
Do not drop or apply shock/vibration to
this device. Strong impacts may damage
the components inside. Do not lay heavy
objects on the device as this could cause
the screen to crack or break.

13
Do not use this device near strong
electromagnetic sources, such as a
microwave oven or television. The

this device. There are no user
serviceable parts inside this device, and
unauthorized modifications void your
warranty.
Do not insert objects other than

metal contacts inside the slots can easily
become damaged by foreign objects.
Use only the USB power adapter with the
micro USB cable included with this

voids your warranty.
Protect the micro USB cable. Route
