2. Safety instructions
- Work on the product must only be carried out by appropriately qualified staff of
JOBO AG.
- Please, read this manual carefully and observe the appropriate instructions
when installing the device.
- Do not open the product or try to make changes to it. Never insert metallic
objects into the product as this may cause an electric shock, fire, a short circuit
or hazardous emissions. The components cannot be serviced by the user. If the
device does not function properly it must be examined by a qualified staff member of the JOBO Technical Service. In this context please observe the warranty
conditions listed in Chapter 4.
- Never expose the device to rain and keep it away from water and moisture.
Never place liquid-filled containers on the device as its contents might penetrate into the opening of the drive as a result of which the danger of an electric
shock, a short circuit, a fire or an injury would be increased.
3. Instructions for use
- Never expose the device to temperatures outside the range of between 5° C
and 40° C (41 F and 104 F). This could result in damage to the drive or other
electronic components. Do not place the device in the proximity of heat sources
and do not expose it to direct sun light (also not through a window). Excessively cold or damp environments may also cause damage to the drive.

- Always pull the mains cable from the socket when there is the danger of
lightning or when the drive is not being used for an extended period of time
because otherwise the danger of electrical shocks, of fire or of short circuits will
increase.
- Do not place the drive next to other electrical devices like television sets, radios or loudspeakers as this may impair the functioning of these other devices.
- Do not place the drive next to sources of magnetic interferences like computer
screens, television sets or loudspeakers. Magnetic interferences may impair the
operation and the stability of the drive. Do not place any heavy objects on the
drive and do not exert any excessive force or pressure on the device.
