Before reading this manual
For your safety
This manual contains important information for safely and correctly using this
product.
Carefully read the manual before using this product. Pay particular attention to

Radio interference
This product is a "Class A" ITE (Information Technology Equipment). In a
domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case
the user may be required to take appropriate measures. VCCI-A
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors
The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board
assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of
these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage
or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.
As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not
expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years).
However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the product
is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of replacing
replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life. Note that
these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of trouble-free
operation during the maintenance support period.
High safety use
This product has been designed and manufactured for general uses such as
general office use, personal use, domestic use and normal industrial use. It has
not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an extremely high
level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk to life or body if such safety
cannot be ensured.
