  To protect your ears, turn down the volume before you use stereo headsets or other audio

spilled or an object has fallen onto the device.   

  Do Not push unauthorized objects into slots and openings in your device.   

  The device should be placed away from heat sources such as stoves, radiators, heat 

registers, or other products that produce heat. 

  Condensation may form on or within your device, when you move your device between 

environments with very different temperature and/or humidity ranges. To avoid damaging 

your device, make the moisture to evaporate before you use the device.
