If dropped or given a strong shock, it may cause a trouble or accident.

≥ Use the unit in a temperature range of 32oF to 104oF (0oC to + 40oC).

If used at a temperature below 32oF or higher than 104oF, it may cause bad influences to
the component parts.

≥ Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cable.

When connecting or disconnecting the cable, be sure to turn off the power switch of the
unit beforehand.

≥ Avoid using the unit outdoors.
≥ Install the unit 3.3 ft (1 m) away from the monitor.
