dust, or metal powders.

Keep Your Mobile Device and Its Accessories
Away From Small Children
These products are not toys and may be hazardous to small children. For example:
• A choking hazard may exist for small, detachable parts.
• Improper use could result in loud sounds, possibly causing hearing injury.
• Improperly handled batteries could overheat and cause a burn.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device may be made of glass. This glass could break if the
product is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks,
do not touch or attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile device until the glass is
replaced by a qualified service center.
Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
flashing lights, such as when playing video games. These may occur even if a person
has never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult with your physician before playing video games or enabling
a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your mobile device.
Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms occur:
convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or
disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the screen away from your eyes, leave
the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every hour, and stop use if you are
tired.
