Storage, Handling and Transport.
Do not expose the Remote
Control or Charging System components to excessively hot or cold
conditions. Do not leave the devices in your car or outdoors for
extended periods of time. The sensitive electronics can be damaged
by temperature extremes, particularly high heat. For proper operation,
do not use the Charger if the ambient temperature is above 35°C
(95°F).

Handle the system components and accessories with care. Do not
drop them or submerge them in water. Although reliability testing has
been performed to ensure quality manufacturing and performance,
dropping the devices on hard surfaces or in water, or other rough han-
dling, can permanently damage the components. (See “Limited War-
