NOTICE: When taking the device from low-temperature conditions into a warmer

environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler environment, allow the

device to acclimate to room temperature before turning on power.

When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on

the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending

any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are

correctly oriented and aligned.

Handle components with care.

Clean the display with a soft, clean cloth and water. Apply the water to the cloth; then

stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display

to the bottom. Remove moisture from the display quickly and keep the display dry.

Long-term exposure to moisture can damage the display. Do not use a commercial

window cleaner to clean your display.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your device. To prevent static

damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your device’s

electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.

You can take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not

remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to

install the component. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to

discharge static electricity from your body.

When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or

packaging.

Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor

pads and workbench pads.

Battery Disposal

Your device uses a lithium-ion battery. For instructions about replacing the batteries in your

device, refer to page 12.

Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal

agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.
