outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous.
Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of the
EVOLV. Sidekick, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, and discontinue
use of the Sidekick. Please contact EVOLV. Technical Support at (877) 668-8826 for an exact
replacement. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted,
kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the Sidekick.
