Safety Warnings

Keep your device away from small children and pets

Keep your device and all accessories out of the reach of small children or animals.

Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.

Install tracking devices and equipment with caution

Ensure that any tracking devices or related equipment installed in your vehicle are securely mounted. Avoid placing your device and accessories near or in an air bag deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly.

Handle and dispose of devices and chargers with care

• Use only original manufacturer-approved chargers specifically designed for your device.

Incompatible chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your device.

• Never dispose of devices in a fire. Follow all local regulations when disposing used devices.

• Never place devices on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.

• Never crush or puncture the devices. Avoid exposing the devices to high external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and overheating.

Safety Precautions

Protect batteries and chargers from damage

• Avoid exposing devices to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 20℃ or above 70℃).

• Prevent devices from contacting metal objects.

• Never use a damaged charger.

Handle your device carefully and sensibly

• Do not disassemble your device due to a risk of electric shock.

• Do not allow your device to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage and will change the color of the label that indicates water damage inside the device. Do not handle your device with wet hands. Water damage to your device can void your manufacturer’s warranty.

• Avoid using or storing your device in dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage to moving parts.

• Your device is a complex electronic device—protect it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious damage.

• Do not paint your device, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.

Important usage information

Use your device in the normal position

Avoid contact with your device’s internal antenna.

Allow only qualified personnel to service your device

Allowing unqualified personnel to service your device may result in damage to your device and will void your warranty.

Handle SIM cards with care

• Do not remove a card while the device is transferring or accessing information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the card or device.

• Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from other devices.

• Do not touch gold-colored contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth..
