Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety instructions carefully. It is advised that you keep this
manual for future references
1. All cautions and warnings on the device should be noted.
2. All cables and adapters supplied by AAEON are certified and in accordance with
the material safety laws and regulations of the country of sale. Do not use any
cables or adapters not supplied by AAEON to prevent system malfunction or
fires.
3. Make sure the power source matches the power rating of the device.
4. Position the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place anything
over the power cord.
5. Always completely disconnect the power before working on the system’s
hardware.
6. No connections should be made when the system is powered as a sudden rush
of power may damage sensitive electronic components.
7. If the device is not to be used for a long time, disconnect it from the power
supply to avoid damage by transient over-voltage.
8. Always disconnect this device from any AC supply before cleaning.
9. While cleaning, use a damp cloth instead of liquid or spray detergents.
