Safety Instruction
To avoid malfunction or damage to this product please observe the following:
1．Disconnect the device from the DC power supply before cleaning. Use a damp cloth. Do
not use liquid detergents or spray-on detergents.
2．Keep the device away from moisture.
3．During installation, set the device down on a reliable surface. Drops and bumps will lead to
damage.
4．Before connecting the power supply, ensure that the voltage is in the required range.
5．The air vent in the bottom of the enclosure is used for heat dissipation. To prevent the
device from overheating, don't cover the vents.
6．Carefully put the power cable in place to avoid stepping on it.
7．If the device is not used for a long time, power it off to avoid damage caused by sudden
overvoltage.
8．Do not pour liquid into the venting holes of the enclosure, as this could cause fire or
