2.4 Safety Precautions
Before operating this system, read the following information carefully to protect your
systems from damages, and extend the life cycle of the system.
1. Check the Line Voltage
•The operating voltage for the power supply should be within the range of
100V to 240VAC; otherwise the system may be damaged.
2. Environmental Conditions
•Do not lay your SP-7256 flat on the table when it is in operation. Be sure to
allow enough space around the system to have easy access needs.
•Avoid installing your SP-7256 system in extremely hot or cold places.
•Avoid direct sunlight exposure for a long period of time (for example, in a
closed car in summer time. Also avoid the system from any heating device.).
Or do not use SP-7256 when it has been left outdoors in a cold winter day.
•Avoid moving the system rapidly from a hot place to a cold place, and vice
versa, because condensation may occur inside the system.
•Protect your SP-7256 from strong vibrations which may cause hard disk
failure.
•Do not place the system too close to any radio-active device. Radio-active
device may cause signal interference.
•Always shut down the operating system before turning off the power.
•Do not place a battery into fire, hot oven, mechanically crushing or cutting a
battery, it will result in an explosion.
•If place a battery in an extremely high temperature environment or an
extremely low air pressure, it may result in an explosion or the flammable
liquid or gas leak.
3. Handling
•Avoid placing heavy objects on the top of the system.
•Do not turn the system upside down. This may cause the hard drive to
malfunction.
•Do not allow any objects to fall into this device.
•If water or other liquid spills into the device, unplug the power cord
immediately.
4. Good Care
•When the outside case gets stained, remove the stains using neutral washing
agent with a dry cloth.
•Never use strong agents such as benzene and thinner to clean the surface of
the case.

Chapter 2 Getting Started
SP-7256 USER MANUAL
Page: 2-8
•If heavy stains are present, moisten a cloth with diluted neutral washing
agent or alcohol and then wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.
•If dust is accumulated on the case surface, remove it by using a special
vacuum cleaner for computers.
•If replace a battery with an incorrect type, it can defeat a safeguard. (For
example, in the case of some lithium battery types.)
