The IC chip in the card may
become extremely hot, possibly
damaging the portable device or
smart card.
Be extra careful to not charge a
portable device with a case or
cover which a contactless smart
card can be inserted.
●Do not leave portable devices in
the cabin. The temperature
inside the cabin may become
high when parked in the sun,
