liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes.
Do not place heavy objects on the equipment.
If the equipment is not used for long time, disconnect it from the power to avoid being
damaged by transient over-voltage.
The storage temperature shall be above -40°C and below 80°C.
The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit. There is a danger of
explosion if incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
If one of the following situation arises, get the equipment checked be service personnel:
•The power cord or plug is damaged.
•Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
•The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
•The equipment does not work well or it cannot work according the user’s manual.
