Unplug equipment before cleaning. Don’t use liquid or spray detergent; use a moist cloth.
Keep equipment away from excessive humidity and heat. Preferably, keep it in an air-conditioned
environment with temperatures not exceeding 40° C (104° F).
When installing, place the equipment on a sturdy, level surface to prevent it from accidentally falling
and causing damage to other equipment or injury to persons nearby.
When the drawer is in an open position, do not cover, block or in any way obstruct the gap between
it and the power supply. Proper air convection is necessary to keep it from overheating.
Arrange the equipment’s power cord in such a way that others won’t trip or fall over it.
If you are using a power cord that didn’t ship with the equipment, ensure that it is rated for the
voltage and current labelled on the equipment’s electrical ratings label. The voltage rating on the
cord should be higher than the one listed on the equipment’s ratings label.
Observe all precautions and warnings attached to the equipment.
If you don’t intend on using the equipment for a long time, disconnect it from the power outlet to
prevent being damaged by transient over-voltage.
Keep all liquids away from the equipment to minimize the risk of accidental spillage. Liquid spilled on
to the power supply or on other hardware may cause damage, fire or electrical shock.

equipment and invalidate its warranty.
If any part of the equipment becomes damaged or stops functioning, have it checked by qualified
service personnel.
