Handy Tips Before You Begin

Check your packaging: Ensure the holographic seal is intact—our “Before you start” category covers packaging assurance and what to expect

Device appearance: Minor scuffs don’t necessarily indicate tampering, but if anything feels off, contact support

Initial setup best practices: Follow step-by-step instructions—disconnect/reconnect prompts are normal. Inconsistent behavior may occur depending on firmware upgrades.
