Preservation and service notes
Use the specified rechargeable or AA battery arrangement for the revision in hand. Preserve the USB-C cable and mode/firmware settings; inspect rear paddle mechanisms and battery contacts.
Record the as-found label, accessories, host OS, driver/firmware version, and test method. Separate observed condition from published specifications; do not treat family-level feature claims as proof of a unit's revision.
