Care and Maintenance

Your tracker is a sophisticated electronic device that contains technologies found in modern

mobile phones. Although it is designed to operate in a variety of environmental conditions,

you should take proper care of your tracker to enable it to perform optimally.

WARNING:

The tracker contains a Lithium Polymer rechargeable battery. You must

follow the recommended procedures for safely charging and operating your

tracker.

General Care

1

Do not disassemble or open the tracker. Unauthorised disassembly of the tracker

will void its warranty.

2

Do not insert foreign objects into the tracker.

3

To prevent electric shock, explosion, or other injury, do not operate the tracker if it

has been damaged in any way, whether by immersion in liquid, crushed by

mechanical forces, etc.

4

Do not subject the tracker to extreme forces such as crushing, bending, puncturing,

or shredding.

5

Avoid placing heavy objects on the tracker.

6

Avoid dropping the tracker.

7

Store the tracker in a cool dry place when not in use.

Operating Environment

1

Do not submerge the tracker in liquids of any form. The tracker is designed to resist

splashes but is not waterproof.

2

Avoid using the tracker in extremely dusty conditions. The tracker is designed with

limited dust resistance, but using it in environments with plenty of fine particles

may cause its performance to degrade over time.

3

Do not expose the tracker to environments that contain fine metallic particles or

any other substances that may lead to electric short circuits.

4

Do not expose the tracker to corrosive environments.

5

Keep the tracker away from heat sources, combustible gases, and liquids.
