2. For Ensuring Safe Use
Be sure to follow the instructions given in this Manual which are intended to prevent harm to the
user and others as well as material damage.
2.1 Legend
Danger
Indicates an imminent hazardous situation which if not avoided will result in
death or serious injury.
Warning
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which if not avoided could result in
death or serious injury.
Caution
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which if not avoided may result in
minor or moderate injury or in property damage.
2.2 Cautions
Danger
If an AC adapter is needed, be sure to use the AC adapter provided in the
package or one that meets the specifications described in this manual.
Using an AC adapter not meeting the specifications described in this manual
may cause the card to emit heat, explode, or ignite.
Warning
Do not apply strong impacts or blows to the card.
Doing so may cause the card to emit heat, explode, or ignite, or the equipment in
the card to fail or malfunction. This may also cause fire.
Do not put this card or the AC adapter in cooking appliances such as microwave
ovens, or high-pressure containers. Doing so might cause this card or AC
adapter to emit heat, explode, ignite, or emit smoke, or its parts to break or
warp.
Do not cover or wrap this card that is in use with cloth or other materials that
are likely to allow heat to build up inside the wrapping.
This will cause heat to build up inside the wrapping which may cause this card
to ignite or malfunction.
When disposing of this card, do not dispose of it along with general household
waste.
Throwing this card into fire may cause it to explode. Dispose of this card
following the laws, regulations, and ordinances governing waste disposal.
Do not pull the power supply cable with excessive force or place heavy items on
it.
Do not damage, break, bundle, or tamper with the power supply cable.
Damaged parts of the power supply cable might cause a short circuit resulting
in fire or accidents involving electrical shock.
Do not plug or unplug the power plug with wet or moist hands.
This might cause injuries or equipment malfunctions or failures due to
electrical shock.

Warning
(Continued from
previous page)
Plug the power plug securely into the outlet.
If the power plug is not securely plugged into the outlet, it may cause accidents
involving electrical shock or fire due to heat emitted.
Do not connect many electrical cords to a single socket or connect an AC adapter
to an outlet that is not rated for the specified voltage.
Doing so may cause the equipment to malfunction or fail, or lead to accidents
involving electrical shock or fire due to heat emitted.
Periodically remove any dust accumulated on the power plug and around the
outlet (socket).
Do not use a power plug with dust accumulated on it because doing so will lead
to insulation failure due to moisture which may lead to fire.
Remove any dust on the power plug and around the outlet with a dry cloth.
Do not place any containers, such as cups or vases, filled with water or other
liquids on the card.
If the card is exposed to water or other liquids, it will cause a malfunction or
electric shock. If you spilled water or other liquid on this card, immediately stop
using the card, turn off the power, and unplug the power plug. If you have any
requests for repairs or technical consultation, please contact sales office you
purchased or Mpression inquiry URL.
Keep the card and accessories out of the reach of children. Failure to do so may
lead to injuries.
Caution
Do not place the card on unstable places such as shaky stands or tilted
locations.
Doing so may cause injuries or cause this card to malfunction if the card should
fall.
Do not attempt to use or leave the card in places subject to strong direct
sunlight or other places subject to high temperatures such as in cars in hot
weather.
Doing so might cause the card to emit heat, break, ignite, run out of control,
warp, or malfunction. Also, some parts of the equipment might emit heat,
causing burn injuries.
Do not use the card in places subject to extremely high or low temperatures or
severe temperature changes.
Doing so may cause the card to fail or to malfunction. Always be sure to use the
card within a temperature range of 5°C to 35°C and a humidity range of 0% to
85%.
Unplug the power supply when doing maintenance on equipment in which the
card is embedded.
Failure to do so may lead to accidents involving electrical shock.
Do not place the card in locations where excessive force might be applied to it.
Doing so may cause the printed circuit board to warp, leading to breakage of the
printed circuit board, missing parts or malfunctioning parts.

Caution
(Continued from
previous page)
When using the card together with expansion boards or other peripheral
equipment, be sure to carefully read each of their manuals and to use them
correctly.
Developer does not guarantee the operation of specific expansion boards or
peripheral devices when used in conjunction with this card unless they are
specifically mentioned in this Manual or their successful operation with this
card has been confirmed in separate documents.
Turn off the power switch when moving or connecting the card.
Failure to do so may cause this card to fail or lead to accidents involving
electrical shock.
Do not clean this card by using a rag containing chemicals such as benzine or
thinner.
Doing so could degrade the card. When using a chemically treated cloth, comply
with its directions and warnings.
Do not immediately turn on the power if you find that moisture has condensed
onto this card after removing it from the box.
Condensation may form if the card is cold when moved from the box into a warm
room.
Turning on the power while there is moisture on the card may cause it to
malfunction or shorten the service life of the parts.
Allow the card to reach room temperature when you first take it out of the box.
If condensation or moisture has occurred on this card, first wait for the moisture
to fully evaporate before installing or connecting the card to other equipment.
Operation of the card cannot be guaranteed if it has been disassembled,
dismantled, altered, modified, or rebuilt.
