place any heavy objects on the cables or connectors and ensure that the cable shielding does not
become cracked. Never tie a knot in a cable and do not tie cables together. Ensure that all
cables are placed so that no one can trip over them and they do not cause an obstruction.
Children
Electrical devices do not belong in children's hands. Never allow children to use electrical devices
unsupervised. Children cannot always recognise possible hazards. Keep packaging away from
children as it is a suffocation risk.

When installing programs or drivers important files can be overwritten and altered.
You should back up the contents of
y

the installation.
Should your operating system be set in a way that the installation of software an
d
drivers will only be accepted when they are signed (approved by Microsoft), an
appropriate dialogue box will appear. This does not mean that the driver is

Click on the 'Start' button to open the Start Menu.
Click on the option 'Run...'
