Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles as this might result in a risk of fire or electric

shock. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or the plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when you disconnect the

charging accessory from the power outlet or convenience receptacle.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point

where the power cord connects to your tablet. Unplug charging accessories during lightning storms or when unused for

long periods of time.
Do not use charging accessories outside or in any area exposed to the elements.
To buy accessories for your tablet, visit www.shopblackberry.com.
