• Storage Conditions:
  • Indoor Storage: Keep out of reach of children and away from fire or objects with surface temperatures over 60°C. Store in a non-corrosive gas environment, ideally between 15°C and 35°C, which allows the device to remain good for 6 months.
  • Car Storage: Remove the product and keep it indoors if the car interior temperature is not between 0°C and 60°C to prevent damage or explosion. Ensure the device is in a stable position to avoid damage from bumping.
• Cleaning: Use a dry cloth to remove dirt from the product ports.
• Damage/Malfunction: In case of severe external shock, turn off the power immediately. If the product is accidentally dropped into water, place it in a safe, open area and let it dry completely. If the product catches fire, use a fire extinguisher (sand, fire blanket, dry chemical, then carbon dioxide). If the product is overturned and seriously damaged, turn it off, place the battery in an open area away from flammable objects, and dispose of it according to local laws.
• Battery Leakage: In extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. Carefully wipe off the liquid with a cloth, avoid skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with clean water, and seek medical attention.
• Disposal: At the end of its useful life, dispose of the appliance and its packaging responsibly. Old equipment and batteries must not be disposed of with household waste but should be taken to designated collection points for recycling. Batteries containing harmful substances (Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead) are marked accordingly.
