WARNING

CLEANING INFORMATION

Before cleaning any external parts of the apparatus, make sure that all cables have been disconnected, including the power supply cable. If a damp cloth is used, make sure it is not too wet, to avoid any damage to the electrical components of the equipment. Wait until the equipment is totally dry before reconnecting the cables.

The Opera Duo should be cleaned periodically using a damp cloth.

Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents. Do not apply liquid directly to the electrical contacts of the

various connectors. If a specific spray is used to clean the PC TFT monitor, make sure it is not flammable; in any case, do not spray it directly on the screen, instead, spray it onto the cleaning cloth.
