with the cap removed may result in the elctronics board or the LED board being
damaged. Damages by inflicted strain on the electronic board or the USB connector
are not covered by warranty.
• The Relio² is engineered to work with the supplied, undamaged USB cables (either
magnetic or not) or with equivalent high-quality USB cables not longer than 3m / 10ft
that are able to carry at least 2A of current. If you notice inconsistent behaviour while
operating the Relio², please disconect the device immediately, inspect the Relio²
connector for dirt or debris, inspect the USB cable and, if necessary, use a dierent
cable. Please consult with our Technical Support in case of need.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DAMAGE - WARNINGS

• Some USB power banks automatically shut down when they detect that the con-
nected device stops drawing power. When you dim the Relio² light, some USB power
banks may mistakenly disconnect power and shut down. If you intend to use Relio²
at low light levels in combination with a power bank, make sure to use a power bank
that is able to supply low power levels without automatically shutting down.
• Do not operate the Relio² or any of its accessories with wet hands or in damp envi-
ronments. Do not overheat the device by powering it inside pockets, purses or small
sealed containers. Risk of burns and other injuries.
• Do not permanently install Relio² outdoors or in harsh environmental conditions, as
water or debris may enter the device and cause dangerous malfunctions.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DAMAGE - WARNINGS

• The device can be powered within the range of voltages and currents stated in the
Technical Specifications. Do not try to power the device with voltages or currents
above or below these limits. Device damage or personal injury may occur.
• If operating conditions are not met, or if you notice any unattended behaviour, stop
using the device and contact our techncal service for asssitance.
