PRECAUTIONS
Water resistivity
We put a lot of attention on making the controller to be
as much water resistant as possible, while maintaining
its reasonable price.
However we cannot guarantee 100% water resistance
under all circumstances and you should avoid using the
controller under heavy environment conditions like rain
and over 95% humidity level.
High temperature
Avoid temperatures exceeding +70°C – especially do
not leave the controller exposed for direct contact with
heavy sun shines, e.g. in the car parked in sunny place.
