Handle the system external 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 handling, can permanently damage these components. (See "Limited Warranty".)
