this decoder is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by an unauthorized person.
Be extremely careful if this unit is in contact with water. Immediately disconnect the power brick if
possible.

If you wish to clean your decoder, disconnect it first of all from the power supply. To clean the decoder, use a soft, dry
cloth. For very dirty surfaces, dip a soft cloth in a weak soap-and-water solution and wring well. After cleaning, wipe with
a soft, dry cloth. Never use alcohol, paint thinner, or a chemically treated cloth to clean this unit. Such chemicals may
damage the unit’s finishing.
