temperature or humidity.
❏ Do not use with wet hands.
❏ Place the product near an electrical outlet where the adapter can be easily unplugged.
❏ The AC adapter cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place

standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC adapter that meets the relevant local safety standards.
❏ When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the
connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may
