  • Microsoft Surface Go
    Surface Go Fact Sheet July 2018 We started by looking at the world we live in. It’s filled with spectrums and different perspectives. We see this rich diversity through the different roles we play in our lives. You are a parent, sister, brother, friend, employee, athlete, artist, etc. There are some people who believe you must stay in one place, but we believe in celebrating all these roles by embracing the word AND. You can be a parent AND an entrepreneurial titan. You can be a student AND a social justice warrior. You shouldn’t have to make binary choices that force unnecessary compromise. Surface believes in empowering users to be the most productive in their personal AND professional lives. We are thrilled to introduce our newest, smallest and lightest Surface yet — Surface Go. Packing a punch in 1.15 pounds and a 10-inch PixelSense Display, Surface Go moves with you throughout your day — from the road to your couch. A device that is small AND strong. That can run desktop apps like Office AND casual apps like Spotify and Netflix. You can work the way you want with ink AND touch AND a trackpad. It’s the premium qualities that Surface is known for AND our most accessible price yet. With Surface Go, we made the device smaller while remaining true to what makes Surface unique: versatility, design and performance. Surface Go is the best of Microsoft with the Windows you know and love, and the iconic Surface design with no compromise in premium quality. It’s your notebook for imagination, your best friend on the plane and your family’s trusted confidant.

Exposure to hazardous chemicals is not expected with normal handling and use. In particular, the cell or battery should not be opened or burned. Section III – Hazards Identification Emergency Overview: Do not open or disassemble cells or batteries or expose them to fire or open flame. Do not puncture or deform.

In this case, exposure to the electrolyte can occur through ingestion, inhalation, eye contact and skin contact. Potential Health Effects: If the battery or cell has been damaged or ruptured, the electrolyte solution, which is corrosive, could be released and cause burns to the eyes, skin or respiratory tract. Ingestion of the electrolyte can cause serious burns of the gastrointestinal tract. Section IV – First Aid Measures If you get electrolyte in your eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes without rubbing and immediately contact a physician.
