Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be
treated with care. The following suggestions will help you protect your warranty
coverage.
•
Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or
moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your
device does get wet, allow it to dry completely.
•
Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can be damaged.
•
Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
•
Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic
circuit boards.
•
Do not attempt to open the device.
•
Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards and fine mechanics.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean
the device.
•
Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any
enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest
authorized service facility for service.
Disposal
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, literature, or
packaging reminds you that in the European Union all electrical and
electronic products, batteries, and accumulators must be taken to
separate collection at the end of their working life. Do not dispose of these
products as unsorted municipal waste.
Return the products to collection to prevent possible harm to the environment or
human health from uncontrolled waste disposal and to promote the sustainable
reuse of material resources. Collection information is available from the product
retailer, local waste authorities, national producer responsibility organizations,
