Good to know
The device is meant primarily for indoor use. Recommended operang tem-
perature range is +5 °C…+35 °C (+41 °F…+95 °F). If used in a warmer or cooler
environment, the operang me might be signicantly reduced and the device
might automacally shut down.
The device will get warm during use, as it is a powerful compung device. This
is normal and expected. Avoid touching the warm parts unnecessarily if feeling
uncomfortable.
IMPORTANT
Do not cover the device as covered, or upside down for long periods, or when in
enclosed space, e.g. pocket or bag. Proper air circulaon around the front side
of the device is important. If the device heats up too much, it will automacally
shut down itself.
IMPORTANT
Do not try hacking, alternang, modifying, copying, or reverse engineering of the
Sidekick unit in any ways. Do not try opening any of the screws in the device.
Warranty will be void and you will be considered a very bad boy / girl.
