For Your Safety _01
Use and Care of the Device
Handling
Your device contains many sensitive components and
should be handled with care at all times.
Do not...
...drop, disassemble, puncture, microwave, incinerate,
paint or insert foreign objects into your device. If you
put your device in a bag or suitcase without covering
the power receptacle, then metallic articles, such as a
coin, paperclip or pen, may short-circuit the device.
Always cover the power receptacle when not in use.
Never...
...attempt to repair the device yourself. Any defect or
malfunction caused by disassembling the device on
your own, or through an unauthorized repair entity,
will void the warranty.
Battery
This device has an internal rechargeable battery. The
battery isn’t user accessible and should only be replaced
by an Authorized Service Center.
Never...
...replace the battery with an unapproved battery since
this could damage the device or cause it to explode or
catch fire. The battery pack has protection circuits to
protect against certain dangers, such as overheating.
Do not...
...use the device near a place which generates more
than 100V of static electricity because this could
damage the protection circuit. If the device produces
a bad smell, then immediately discontinue use and
contact Customer Service.
Exposure to Liquids
You should avoid exposing your devices to any water or
liquids.
Do not...
...use your device in the rain or in other wet or humid
environments.
...spill liquids on your device. If the device gets wet, then
immediately power it off, unplug it, and allow it dry
completely.
...attempt to accelerate the drying process with an
external heating source, such as an oven, microwave
or hair dryer. Damage to your device as a result of
exposure to liquid is not covered under your warranty.
Charger and Power Adapter
Recharge the battery after a long period of non-use to
maximize battery life. Battery life will vary due to usage
pattern and environmental conditions.
Only use...
...an authorized charging and power adapter device
that is compatible with this device. Always make sure
that the power plug is firmly connected.
For connection to a power supply that is not in North
America, use the correct adapter for your device. The
charger and adapter are intended for indoor use only.
Insert the charger vertically into the wall power socket.
Do not...
...connect or disconnect the charger with wet hands.
Always...
...unplug the charger from the wall socket after the
device is fully charged so that the charger will not
unnecessarily consume power.
Unplug...
...the charger in the event of any of the following.
(1) Lightning storms
(2) The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
(3) The adapter case is damaged.
(4) The charger or device has become exposed to
liquid.
The charging temperature range is between 32°F and
104°F. Charging outside of the recommended range
might generate excess heat, cause serious damage to
the battery, or deteriorate its performance or life.
Do not...
...damage the power cord by bending, twisting or
heating. Do not allow the power chord to become
crimped as this may cause electric spark or fire.
Display Screen
The display on this device is made of glass and could
break or crack if dropped or subjected to substantial
impact.
Do not...
...use, touch, or attempt to remove or fix broken glass if
02 Section 01: For Your Safety
Section 01: For Your Safety 03
it is chipped or cracked. Damage to the glass display
due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the
warranty.
Cleaning the Device
To clean your device, unplug all cables and turn off the
device.
Use...
...a soft, slightly damp, and lint-free cloth to clean the
device. Do not allow liquid or moisture into any of the
ports or openings of the device. The screen may be
cleaned with a soft, dry, and lint-free cloth.
Do not...
...use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong
detergents to clean the device.
Extreme Temperatures
Operate the device in an environment that is between
32 °F and 104 °F.
Never...
...store your device in temperatures less than -4 °F or
greater than 113 °F.
Do not...
...leave your device under the blazing sun or in a
heated car. The battery may generate heat, smoke or
flame.
Storage in extreme temperatures may also cause the
deterioration of the battery performance or life.

GPS/Location Services/Navigation
Your device uses Global Positioning System (GPS)
signals for its location-based applications, like maps
and turn-by-turn navigation. Data collected by these
applications are provided by third parties and are
subject to change without notice. GPS services may
not be available or have limited availability in certain
areas, and information may be outdated, incomplete or
inaccurate. Therefore, it is recommended to only rely on
GPS applications for general location based guidance.

Location-based information includes information that can
be used to determine the approximate location of your
device. You device transmits location-based information
while connected to a wireless carrier network.
In addition, certain location-based applications require
location-based information to function properly and
also transmit your location-based data. Location-based
data may be shared with third parties, including your
wireless service provider, manufacturer, third party
application providers and others.

Avoid Potential Hearing Loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music)
is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss.
Some scientific research suggests that using portable
audio devices, such as portable music players, at
high volume settings for long durations may lead to
permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes
the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds or
OTHERWIRELESSDEVICES%XPOSURETOVERYLOUDSOUND
has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus
(a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and
distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-
induced hearing loss and other potential hearing
problems varies. The amount of sound produced by a
portable audio device varies depending on the nature
of the sounds, the device, the device setting and the
headphones. You should follow some commonsense
recommendations when using any portable audio
device:
