2) Instructions for Safety and Use

Attention: Do not use or charge the device if the battery is damaged or leaks.

Attention: Do not cover the device during operation or while charging it. It can lead to overheating.

Attention: Switch off the device immediately if it gets wet. Wait until the device is completely dry before starting it again.

Attention: This device is capable of loud volumes. In order to avoid hearing damage, able to occur immediately, later, or gradually over time, you should not listen at high volumes for prolonged periods. Please be aware that permanent damage to the hearing can also first appear at a later juncture. Sometimes you can become acclimatized to higher volumes over time. These may appear normal for you; your hearing, however, may already have been adversely affected. Louder volumes can lead to your hearing being damaged faster.EN

Only qualified persons may perform technical work on the product. The product may not be opened or changed. The components cannot be serviced by the user.

Never expose the device to moisture, condensation and liquids.

Never place the device close to a source of heat, and protect it from direct sunlight.

Protect the device from extremely high and low temperatures and temperature fluctuations. Use the device within an ambient temperature of 10º C until 40º C.

Make sure that the surroundings are as dust-free as possible when you use and store the device.

Never clean the surface of the device with solvents, paint thinners, cleansers or other chemical products. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth or soft brush.

In certain circumstances, exposing the device to an electrostatic discharge may interrupt the data transfer between the device and the computer and impair the functions of the device.

The capacity indicated by your operating system can be different than the actual capacity of your device. Like most manufacturers of computer hardware, TrekStor uses the prefixes for units (e.g. 1 GB = 1.000.000.000 bytes) as prescribed by the International System of Units (SI). Unfortunately, many operating systems do not comply with this norm and display a lower capacity because they base their calculations on the assumption that 1 GB = 2 bytes = 1.073.741.824 bytes.EN
