General Use Precautions:

 

-

Do not place objects on top of the device.

 

-

To avoid damage, do not expose the device to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 40° C 
(41° F to 104° F).

 

-

Always unplug the device from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be 
unused for an extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock, 
short-circuiting or fire.

 

-

Do not use the device near other electrical appliances such as televisions, radios or speakers. 
Doing so may cause interference which will adversely affect the operation of the other products.

 

-

Do not place the device near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, 
televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference can affect the operation and stability of hard 
drives.

 

-

Protect your device from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up 
inside the device, increasing the risk of damage or malfunction.

 

-

Do not block any ventilation openings on the device. These help to keep the device cool during 
operation. Blocking the ventilation openings may cause damage to the device and cause an 
increased risk of short-circuiting or fire.
