Potentiallyexplosiveenvironments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all
signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device near
gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, storage and distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are
in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
Additionalsafetyinformation
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of the reach
of small children.

personal health and other factors greatly increase the risk of physical injury.
Incorrect computer usage may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis
or other musculoskeletal disorders. The following symptoms may appear in the hands,
wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or back:
