Notes on use
• Be sure to read the user manual for any device that you attach to the product.
• Disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet when this product is not in use.
• Be sure to use this product in combination with components specified by our company.
• When connecting cables, make sure they are inserted all the way up to the plug.
• Over time, discoloration may occur due to ultraviolet rays (especially direct sunlight) and friction.
• Charge on flat areas. Devices will not be charged when the product is tilted.
• If you repeatedly charge rechargeable batteries without completely exhausting them, a phenomenon called the memory effect occurs, where the
power capacity of the batteries is reduced. To prevent this, completely exhaust rechargeable batteries before charging them. If you continue to
have problems recharging the batteries, you may need to replace them with new rechargeable batteries.
• When using the product as a stand without charging, unplug the AC adapter.
• Heat is generated from the AC adapter while charging. Do not place the product near the AC adapter or in places of high temperature.
Rechargeable batteries may not fully charge.
• The capacity of the rechargeable batteries decreases as you repeatedly charge them. If the operation time becomes shorter, we recommend
replacing the batteries with new ones as soon as possible.
• If the product or the charging terminals of charging devices are dirty, the devices may not be able to charge sufficiently. Remove the dirt from the
charging terminals before inserting devices into the product.
• When charging for the first time or when not using the product for long periods, the power capacity of rechargeable batteries may decrease. In
such cases, the batteries will recharge normally (to full capacity) after they have been charged and discharged several times.
• Charge rechargeable batteries every six months even if you have not used them much during that time. Excessive discharging may decrease the
capacity of rechargeable batteries or cause them to no longer be rechargeable.
Maintenance
• If the product becomes stained or covered with dust, be sure to disconnect the power plug before wiping it off with a dry and soft cloth.
• Do not use benzine, thinner or electrical contact cleaner, etc. They may deform or otherwise damage the product, or cause operational failure.
