Introduction

Thank you for choosing the STRONG 4K Ultra HD Google TV Stick. This device is designed with the latest technologies for a complete entertainment experience. Enjoy countless hours of new experiences exploring the Google universe!

Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before operating the device. Keep these instructions for future reference. Use only specified or supplied attachments and accessories (e.g., power adapter, batteries). Refer to the electrical and safety information on the device before installation or operation. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the device to rain or humidity. Ensure ventilation is not obstructed by objects like newspapers, tablecloths, or curtains. Do not expose the device to splashes, and do not place liquid-filled objects like vases on it.

The symbol ⚡ indicates a risk of electric shock.

To prevent injury, this device must be securely fixed to the floor/wall according to installation instructions. There is a danger of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrectly. Replace batteries only with the same type or equivalent. Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire, or other heat sources. Excessive sound volume from headphones or headsets can cause hearing loss. Listening to music at high volumes for prolonged periods can damage hearing. To reduce the risk of hearing damage, lower the volume to a safe, comfortable level and reduce listening time at high levels. The mains socket or a coupler device used as a disconnect device must remain readily accessible. When not in use and if moved, take care of the power cord, for example, by attaching it with a plastic-coated metal tie. It should be free of sharp edges that could cause abrasion. The absence of a light indicator on the device does not mean it is completely disconnected from the mains. To disconnect the device completely, the mains plug must be unplugged. When all indicator lights are off, the device is completely disconnected from the mains. Pay special attention to environmental aspects for battery recycling. No open flames, such as lit candles, should be placed on the device.

To avoid fire hazards, always keep candles or other open flames away from this product.

Equipment with this symbol ? is a Class II appliance or has double electrical insulation. It is designed so that earthing for electrical safety is not required.

Precautions

Never attempt to open the device. Touching the interior is dangerous due to high voltages and potential electrical risks. Opening the device voids the product warranty. For any maintenance or service, refer to qualified personnel. When connecting cables, ensure the device is unplugged from the mains. After turning off the device, wait a few seconds before moving it or disconnecting any equipment. It is imperative to use only an approved extension cord and compatible wiring suitable for the electrical consumption of the installed equipment. Ensure the power supply matches the voltage indicated on the electrical rating plate on the back of the device.

▲ Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect model. Disposing of a battery in a fire or hot oven, mechanically crushing or cutting a battery can create an explosion. Leaving a battery in a very high-temperature environment can create an explosion or a leak of flammable liquid or gas. A battery exposed to very low atmospheric pressure can cause an explosion or a leak of flammable liquid or gas.

• Do not use the device near humid and cold areas; protect it from overheating.
• Keep out of direct sunlight.
• Use in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment.
• Do not place candles near ventilation openings to prevent flammable foreign materials from entering the device.
