PRECAUTIONS
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
In order to prevent electric shock, do not remove
screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
Do refer to all servicing to qualified service person-
nel.
• Handle the unit with care.
Do not abuse the unit. Avoid striking, shaking, etc.
It could be damaged by improper handling or stor-
age.
• Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture, or try to
operate it in wet areas.
Do take immediate action if the unit becomes wet.
Turn the power off and refer servicing to qualified
service personal. Moisture can damage the unit
and also create the danger of electric shock.
• Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the unit body.
Do use a dry cloth to clean the unit when dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild deter-
gent and wipe gently.
• Do not operate the unit beyond its temperature,
humidity or power source ratings.
Do not use the unit in an extreme environment
where high temperature or high humidity exist. Use
the unit under conditions where temperatures are
within 14˚F-140˚F (−10˚C - +60˚C) and humidity is
below 90%.
The input power source is 12V DC (10.8 - 16.0V
DC).
Caution: To prevent fire or shock hazard, the UL list-
ed wire VW-1, style 1007 should be used for the
cable for DC12V Input Terminal.
