12. Important Dos and Don‘ts
Dos:
To clean, wipe the outer surface only with a soft, lint-free cloth.
To avoid mechanical damage, always remove the USB stick,
ethernet cable and power cable when not in use and seal the
ports with the silicone cover tightly.
Dust and water protection are only given if the port is sealed
with the silicone cover.
Don‘ts:
Do not touch the diaphragms of the microphones! Neither with
your fingers, any sharp tools, a brush nor anything else!
The diaphragms are a very thin and sensitive Gore-Tex diaphrag-
ms. It protects the microphones and makes the SoundCam dust
and water protected according to IP54.Touching the diaphragms
can easily damage it resulting in losing the dust and water pro-
tection of your SoundCam.
Do not clean with air pressure!
Do not clean with high-pressure cleaners or other machines!
Attention:
Dust and water protection according to IP54 is only given if all
ports are sealed with their silicone covers.

amounts of water, pre-treated cleaning cloths or aggressive or alcoholic cleaning sprays. Store the device in a
dry and clean place. Do not clean with high-pressure cleaners or other machines. Do not clean with air pressure.
WARNING: Do Not Attempt Repairs
Do not attempt to take apart, open, service or modify the product, accessories or power supply. Doing so could
present the risk of electric shock or another hazard. Any evidence of any attempt to open and/or modify this
device, including any peeling, puncturing or removal of any of the labels, will void the Limited Warranty. For
repair contact your retailer.
WARNING: AC Adapter Safety
Failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electric shock or fire or in
damage to the device.To select an appropriate power source for your device:
• Use only the power supply unit and AC power cord that came with your device or that you received from
CAE or an authorised retailer.
• Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the voltage and frequency
appear acceptable. Only use AC power provided by a standard wall outlet.
• Do not overload your wall outlet, extension cord, power strip or other electrical receptacle. Confirm that they
are rated to handle the total current (in amps [A]) drawn by the device (indicated on the power supply unit) and
any other devices that are on the same circuit.
• On devices where the AC prongs may be folded for storage, before plugging the AC adapter into a power
outlet, make sure its prongs are fully extended. On devices where the AC prongs are removable and where the
power supply uses a universal adapter, before plugging the AC adapter into a power outlet, make sure the prong
assembly is of the proper configuration for the power outlet and fully seated into the adapter.

puncture, mutilate or dispose of the product in fire. Do not leave the device in direct sunlight for an extended
period of time, which could cause melting or battery damage. The battery in this device is not user replaceable

away from children
WARNING: Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including
flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or
epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these „photosensitive epileptic seizures“.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching,
jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop using and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. If you or any of your
relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before using.
WARNING: Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted and can include fuelling areas,
such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain dust or metal powders.When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile
device, and do not remove or install battery chargers, AC adapters or any other accessory. In such areas, sparks
can occur and cause an explosion or fire.
CAUTION: Health Warning
Use of electronic input devices may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When using a computer, as with
many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts
of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing,
aching, tingling,numbness,burning sensation or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY
SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer.
Symptoms like these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders
of the nerves, muscles, tendons or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include
carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis and other conditions.
CAUTION: Heat Related
Concerns The device may become very warm during normal use. The device complies with the user-accessible
surface temperature limits defined by the International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equip-
ment (IEC 62368-1:2014, modified + Cor.:2015). To reduce heat related concerns, follow these guidelines:
Set up your device on a stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the device.
Use caution when operating your device on a pillow, blanket, or other soft material, because the material can
block the airflow which may result in the device overheating. If your device is on your lap and gets uncomfor-
tably warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable work surface.
