This product is susceptible to its installation environment (especially dust) because the data recording
surface is exposed inside the device. The closer to the floor, the higher the dust level is in general, so
it is recommended to install this product away from the floor, such as on a desk. Install this product in
less dusty environments, referring to the "Examples of installation environments to avoid".
Examples of installation environments to avoid
• On the floor.

as sandy dust, car exhaust emissions, etc.
• Areas close to air ventilating ducts (be careful of air conditioners, exhaust fans, etc.)
