Safety information
Operation and safety
 Do not use your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not
use the device if doing so causes danger or interference with other
electronic devices.
 Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of
15 cm be maintained between a device and a pacemaker to prevent
potential interference with the pacemaker. If using a pacemaker,
hold the device on the side opposite the pacemaker and do not
carry the device in your front pocket.
 Avoid dusty, damp, or dirty environments. Avoid magnetic fields.

11
Using the device in these environments may result in circuit
malfunctions.
 Ideal operating temperatures are 0 °C to 40 °C. Ideal storage
temperatures are -40 °C to +70 °C. Extreme heat or cold may
damage your device or accessories.
 Keep the device and accessories in a well-ventilated and cool area
away from direct sunlight. Do not enclose or cover your device with
towels or other objects. Do not place the device in a container with
poor heat dissipation, such as a box or bag.
 The device should be installed and operated with a minimum
distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
 Using an unapproved or incompatible power adapter, charger, or
battery may damage your device, shorten its lifespan, or cause a

 For pluggable devices, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the
devices and shall be easily accessible.
 Unplug the power adapter from electrical outlets and the device
when not in use.
 Do not touch the device or the charger with wet hands. Doing so
may lead to short circuits, malfunctions, or electric shocks.
 For optimal Wi-Fi coverage and performance, it is recommended
that the installation distance between multiple mesh routers be
greater than 2 m when there is line of sight (LOS) Internet.
Disposal and recycling information
The symbol on the product, battery, literature, or packaging
means that the products and batteries should be taken to
separate waste collection points designated by local authorities
at the end of the lifespan. This will ensure that EEE waste is
recycled and treated in a manner that conserves valuable materials
and protects human health and the environment.
For more information, please contact your local authorities, retailer, or
household waste disposal service or visit the website
