2.3 Maintaining Your Device
Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce
the risk of damage to your device.
Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time.
Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your device.
Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This
could cause moisture and condensation build up inside the unit which can
damage your device. In the event of moisture or condensation, allow the
device to dry out completely before use.
Avoid touching the Screen Surface with sharp objects as it may scratch.
Non-adhesive generic screen protectors designed specifically for use on
portable devices with LCD panels may be used to help protect the screen
from minor scratches.
Never clean your device with it powered on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth
moistened with water to wipe the screen and the exterior of your device.
Do not use paper towels to clean the screen as this may scratch it.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to your
device. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause
damage to your device and even bodily injury or property damage and will
void any warranty.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive
materials in the same compartment as your device, its parts or accessories.
