ensure that they do not play with the charger.

Ensure that the device is always stored in a safe place. Do no expose the device

sheets, use tubes or cable ducts to prevent damage to the cables. Lay electrical
cables in such a way that it is not possible to stumble over them, thereby preven-
ting damage.
