of  electromagnetic  waves  and  suppress  interference  from  external 
electromagnetic waves. However, interference could still occur if 

 is 

placed next to equipment that is very susceptible to interference of that 
emits powerful electromagnetic waves. If this occurs, place the 

 and 

the other device farther apart.
With  any  type  of  digital  control  device—including  the 

electromagnetic interference can cause malfunction, corrupt or destroy 
data, or cause other unexpected issues. Always exercise caution. 

Cleaning

Use a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the unit if it becomes dirty. If necessary, 
use a damp cloth that has been wrung out well to wipe it.
Never use abrasive cleansers, wax or solvents such as alcohol, benzene or paint 
thinner.

Temperature considerations
