• In cases of prolonged non-use, please remove the batteries from the device and store separately in a cool and dry place.
• Do not place solar cells behind car windows or windowpanes, as the panes filter out up to 90% of the energy.
• Should the devices get wet, please remove the batteries immediately and allow the charging device to dry completely
