1. Safety Instructions & Precautions
Do not operate the HDDM in high-humidity areas, or expose it to water or moisture.
Prevent moisture or liquids from dripping or entering the modulator
Disconnect the modulator from the electrical source prior to cleaning. Use a light,
damp cloth (no solvents) to dust or clean the product.
Do not block or cover slots and openings in the HDDM. These are provided for
ventilation and protection from overheating. Never place the HDDM near or over a
radiator or heat register. Do not place the HDDM in an enclosure such as a cabinet
without proper ventilation.
It is recommended to properly ground the HDDM using the grounding screw
Never insert objects of any kind into the HDDM through openings, as the objects
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This also could cause fire or
electrical shock.
There are no user serviceable parts in the HDDM. Opening the HDDM will void the
warranty
