Safety Precautions
For your safety and protection of the E-bot, please read and abide by the

3) Use only the AC adapter provided with the E-bot. Using another AC
adapter may damage the device. Be advised that damage caused
by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
4) Please do not remove the power cable when the E-bot is turned on
as this can damage the product.
5) Do not use the E-bot in a moisture-rich environment such as a
bathroom, shower or a wet kitchen counter as moisture may get
inside the unit and damage the components.
6) Do not use E-bot in extreme high or low temperatures. We
recommend that you do not use this device in environments below
0°C or above 40°C, as the image may display inaccurately.
7) Always turn off the power before moving the product to another
location.
8) When you press the release switch to fold the E-bot, please grip the
arm and manually fold the unit. Allowing the arm to simply drop may
cause impact damage to the unit.
9) Do not use the DC OUT at the back of the device as a power supply
for devices other than authorized visual displays for E-bot as this
can damage the product and/or the connected device.
