Care and Maintenance
Operating Environment
• Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of small children’s reach.
•Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
•Do not use or store it in dusty or dirty areas as its moving parts can be damaged.
•Do not store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and
warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store in cold areas. When the device warms up (to its normal operating temperature), moisture can form
inside the device.
•Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the device may damage it and will void warranty.
•Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.
•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly
dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
•Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and prevent proper operation.

Important Battery Information
• Recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. When a charger is not in use,
disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week,
since overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.
• Leaving the PocketSurfer2 in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15º C and 25º C (59º F
and 77º F ). A PocketSurfer2 with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is
fully charged. Li-Ion batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 0º C (32º F).
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! • Dispose of used batteries in accordance with any local regulations.
