Battery-Powered Devices
These precautions apply to all products that use rechargeable or disposable batteries.
Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Released battery fluid is corrosive and
may be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns, and is harmful if swallowed.
To reduce the risk of injury:
● Keep batteries out of reach of children.
● Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose of batteries in fire.
● Do not mix new and old batteries or batteries of different types (for example, carbon-zinc and alkaline batteries).
● Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals on the device; they can become hot and cause burns.
● Remove the batteries if they are worn out or before storing your device for an extended period of time.
● Always remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and
National Disposal Regulations.
● If a battery leaks, remove all batteries, taking care to keep the leaked fluid from touching your skin or clothes. If fluid from
the battery comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush skin with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries,
thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations
for cleanup.
Disposable (non-rechargeable) batteries only:
● Caution Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use and replace only with the correct size and type
(alkaline, zinc-carbon, or zinc-chloride) of batteries.
Rechargeable batteries only:
● Caution Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use and replace only with the same type and rating as
the batteries provided.
● Charge only with the recharger provided with the product.
Lithium button cell batteries only:
● Perchlorate Material -- special handling may apply. See: www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
Headset Devices
Extended exposure to high volumes when using a headset may result in temporary or permanent hearing loss.
To prevent damage to your headset, avoid sitting or stepping on the headset, its cable, or the cable connector.
Webcam Devices
Webcam with magnetic and adhesive mounting
After the adhesive attachment disc has been applied to the mounting surface, removing it may damage the cosmetic coating
and/or leave an adhesive residue.
Applying the attachment disc next to or directly to a CRT-based display screen may cause permanent visual distortion of the
displayed image near the area mounted.
Wireless Devices
Before boarding any aircraft or packing a wireless device in luggage that will be checked, remove the batteries from the
wireless device or turn the wireless device off (if it has an on/off switch). Wireless devices can transmit radio frequency (RF)
energy, much like a cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed and the wireless device is turned on (if it has an on/off
switch).
Keyboard and Mouse Devices
Health Warning
Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders,
neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain,
throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS.
PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer.
Symptoms like these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves,
muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome,
tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may
be linked to their occurrence, including: overall health, stress and how one copes with it, medical and physical conditions, and
how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse). The
amount of time a person performs an activity may also be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing
an MSD can be found in the "Healthy Computing Guide" installed with this device's software. If this device did not come with
software, you can access the "Healthy Computing Guide" at
www.microsoft.com/hardware or (in the United States only) by calling (800) 360-7561 to request a CD at no charge.
If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical, or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a
qualified health professional.
Devices with Laser Pointers
Caution Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
● Do not stare into beam.
● Do not shine a laser pointer at anyone. Laser pointers are designed to illuminate inanimate objects.
