• If you spill liquid on your device, switch it off immediately, unplug the AC adapter.

Battery information This product uses a Lithium-ion battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 °C (140 °F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or high (over 40 °C/104 °F) temperatures. The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged many times, but it will eventually wear out. When normal use and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, contact your reseller. Use only manufacturer approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with manufacturer approved chargers designated for this device. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before the device can be used. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the batteries under any condition. Accidental shortcircuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. 67
