Avoid switching your Easy Braille on immediately after moving it from a cold room
into a warm environment. Under unfavourable conditions, condensation might
damage the device. Wait until the device has warmed to room temperature before
turning it on.
Take care that all cables (interface cable, cable of the external power supply) are laid
such that they do not pose a hazard (danger of tripping over them).
When plugging in or removing the data cable of the Braille display, take care not to
touch the pins of the plugs, since this could result in an electrostatic discharge which
could damage the interface of your computer. Before unplugging the cable from the
device, disconnect it from your PC.
Use only the external power supply unit delivered with the Easy Braille to charge the
batteries. If it is not to be used for some time, unplug the external power supply unit
from the mains outlet.
Before cleaning the device, always unplug the external power supply unit from the
mains outlet and disconnect the USB cable.
If the Easy Braille was dropped, the housing has become damaged, or it is
malfunctioning, turn the unit off immediately. It needs to be serviced by authorized
service personnel.
At the end of its useful life, the device must be disposed of in accordance with the
applicable guidelines for electronic equipment.
7.4 Handling the Easy Braille
The Easy Braille's Braille modules utilize very reliable and maintenance-free piezo
technology. If handled properly, you will enjoy many years of trouble-free operation.
Always operate the Easy Braille at normal room temperature and protect it from
humidity. Avoid exposing the Easy Braille to extreme changes in temperature.
Do not drop your Easy Braille, and avoid exposing it to strong vibrations.
It is better for your Easy Braille if you take care to operate it with clean hands,
because otherwise the tactile pins can become sticky and may release only if
prodded.
Please ensure that no fluids enter into the Braille display. The Braille elements are
especially sensitive to humidity, because humidity could destroy the high-voltage
piezo elements.
We recommend covering the Easy Braille when it is not in use to prevent dust from
entering the housing.
