Safety information
Before installing and using the PT-6800 POS, take note of the following precautions:
• Read all instructions carefully.
• Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
• Do not block the slots and opening on the unit, which are provided for ventilation.
• Do not push objects in the ventilation slots as they may touch high voltage components and result in shock and
damage to the components.
• Only use the power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure, contact your dealer or the Power
Company.
• The unit uses a three-wire ground cable, which is equipped with a third pin to ground the unit and prevent elec-
tric shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet does not support this kind of plug, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
• Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of foot traffic.
• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the unit case.
• When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts specified by the manufacturer.
• Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device..
