Caring for the 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
condensation inside the unit, which could damage your device. In the event of moisture condensation,
allow the device to dry out completely before use.
The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with sharp objects. 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 to wipe the screen and the
exterior of your device.
Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
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.
Keep your device and its accessories out of the reach of small children or animals.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as
your device, its parts or accessories.
To discourage theft, do not leave the device and accessories in plain view in an unattended vehicle.
Do not leave the device and its accessories in a vehicle in direct sunlight. Overheating may damage
the device.
The device (excluding accessories) is protected again splashes, water and dust. When tested under
controlled laboratory conditions, the device is compliant with the IP67 rating of the IEC 60529
standard. The manufacturer guarantees this grade provided all jack covers are properly and securely
closed. Immersion in water or water-pressure such as washing the unit with running water may cause
damage to the unit and voids warranty. Normal wear might decrease resistance. The device should
not be operated in water.

The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to transmit, or
operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling
information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.
The device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for
harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250–5350 MHz and
5650–5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
L'appareil peut interrompre automatiquement la transmission en cas d'absence d'informations à
transmettre ou de panne opérationnelle. Notez que ceci n'est pas destiné à interdire la transmission
d'informations de contrôle ou de signalisation ou l'utilisation de codes répétitifs lorsque cela est requis
par la technologie.
Le dispositif utilisé dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz est réservé à une utilisation en intérieur afin de réduire
le risque de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes mobiles par satellite dans le même canal.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
