WARNING! IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to read and follow these safety instructions could result in fire, explosion, electrical
shock or other hazard, causing serious and/or fatal injury and/or property damage.
• Do not modify, disassemble, open, drop, crush, puncture, or shred the KeyCover.
• The KeyCover contains a lithium-polymer battery, which is flammable. Keep away from open flame.
• To prevent short circuit or other potential hazards, prevent metal objects such as coins or keys from
coming into contact with the KeyCover, and do not insert foreign objects into the KeyCover or its
ports.
• Keep your KeyCover dry, and do not use with wet hands. Moisture in or on the KeyCover may lead
to electrical shock. If exposed to moisture during use, unplug the KeyCover immediately. If your
KeyCover gets wet, have a qualified technician evaluate the product's safety before resuming use.
• Your KeyCover may become warm during operation. This is normal. However, to prevent
overheating, keep area around KeyCover ventilated and do not place anything on or around
KeyCover during operation. Do not operate your KeyCover near a heat source, heat vent, or in
direct sunlight. Your KeyCover should be used in temperatures between 50–80°F (10–27°C).
• If the KeyCover begins to swell or expand, emits a strong odor, or becomes hot to the touch,
discontinue use of the KeyCover, and have the product examined by a qualified electronic
technician.
• Inspect your KeyCover and cables for damage before use. Have any damaged part repaired or
replaced before use.
• Your KeyCover is not user serviceable. Do not attempt to open, modify, or repair.
• If the battery inside the KeyCover leaks for any reason, discontinue use, and do not allow the
KeyCover's contents to contact your skin or eyes. In the event of accidental contact wash the
affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical attention immediately.
• Your KeyCover is not a toy. Keep them away from children. Insure that all persons who use this
product read and follow these warnings and instructions.
• Do not leave the KeyCover on prolonged charge when not in use.
Enhancing Performance by Proper Care and Storage of your KeyCover
• Do not store your KeyCover either fully charged or discharged. It is best to store your KeyCover with
at least 30 % charge remaining. To check the charge level of your KeyCover press the battery
indicator button.
• Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery in the KeyCover.
Charge your KeyCover between uses even if it is not fully discharged. The lithium-polymer battery
used in this product has no "memory effect." Therefore, several partial discharges with frequent
recharges are better than one full discharge, and will help prolong the life of your KeyCover. Short
battery life in laptops is mainly caused by heat, rather than charge/discharge patterns.
• Do not store your KeyCover at elevated temperatures (such as in your car) or in high humidity.
Disposing of your KeyCover
• Do not incinerate or dispose of your KeyCover in a fire or microwave.
• Do not dispose of your KeyCover as ordinary refuse, as it contains a lithium-polymer battery.
Consult your local municipal or civil authority for instructions on correctly disposing of a
lithium-polymer battery.
• In the USA and Canada: This mark
Battery Recovery Corporation ("RBRC"). When you are ready to dispose of the KeyCover, please
contact the RBRC at 1-800-8-BATTERY or www.rbrc.org.
