Device Temperature

Caution! Some applications or prolonged usage may increase device temperature. Prolonged skin contact with a device that is hot to the touch may produce skin discomfort or redness, or low temperature burns. If the device feels hot to the touch, discontinue use and close all applications or turn off the device until it cools. Always ensure that the device has adequate ventilation and air flow. Covering the device can significantly affect air flow, may affect the performance of the device, and poses a possible risk of fire or explosion, which could lead to serious bodily injuries or damage to property.
