Note waterproof and no water to avoid ESLs damaged during transporting. Do not extrude ESLs to avoid screen broken during transporting. Temperature never exceed 40 during transporting. 6.2 Precautions for use Follow the precautions:
operate at -25 ~ 0. Keep strictly room-temperature ESLs operating at 0 ~ 40, while freezer ESLs Do not make storage or operation temperature of ESLs over 50. Environment temperature has a great impact on battery life of ESLs, and the output capacity will have a different level of decline due to low temperature environment. ESLs must be kept working within standard temperature range. If ESLs are working out of the nominal temperature range, screen will be damage and battery life will be shortened. Frequent communications, updates and page switch may shorten batter life during Do not throw, tapping or rough handling ESLs during usage process, otherwise the usage process. circuit board will be damaged Do not disassemble the entire ESLs without permission. Keep ESLs environment dry as possible. The rainwater, moisture, and liquids possibly contain mineral substances, which corrode the electronic circuit. If the device is wetted, please deal with it quickly. The screen of ESLs should be treated promptly to avoid affecting the screen display effect, and even causing permanent effects on the shell and lenses, such as cosmetics, perfume, etc. 17 Hanshow Copyright Reserved Zhejiang Hanshow Technology Co., Ltd. Hanshow Nebular Series Product Manual Clean ESLs screen regularly and maintain cleanliness. Do not use chemical detergent to wipe the screen. Do not install ESLs in a strong magnetic environment.
