Protecting Your Globe
Plasma globes emit high-frequency radio waves which
may cause interference in nearby electrical devices
such as
telephones, wireless remote-control devices, AM radios, answering
machines, computer monitors, or television sets. If this happens,
move the device away or turn off the device.
Plasma globes can interfere with each other
if two or more
globes are operating within 2-3 feet of each other. The plasma
globes may become damaged through this interference. If you have
more than one plasma globe, keep them at a safe distance from
each other, at least 3 feet apart.
USB cable devices should not be operated near energized
plasma globes
. Touching an energized plasma globe and a USB
cable at the same time may cause damage to a device connected
to the USB cable.
Always unplug your plasma globe before cleaning the glass.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean your plasma globe, as this
could permanently damage the glass. Small scratches to the glass
can be sealed with clear nail polish thinned with lacquer thinner.
Do not turn your plasma globe on and off continuously
, or
connect it to a power source that is turned on and off continuously
(such as a sound-activated circuit). Doing so may cause the
electronics to overheat and become permanently damaged.
Keep the plasma globe in a well-ventilated area, and do not
leave it turned on at full power for an extended period of
time.
Only run the globe at the highest power setting when there is
someone there to appreciate the plasma image. Turning the globe
off when you are not using it will increase the life of the globe.
