Precautions for Safe Use
Precautions against Damage to Equipment
Insertion of foreign objects into the equipment
Do not allow clips, pins or any other metal items or flammable items to enter the
equipment through a vent or by any other means. Continuing to operate the
equipment with foreign objects could cause failure.
Spraying smoke or fine mist
Turn off the power to the system equipment and completely wrap the entire
system equipment with a plastic sheet before spraying smoke or fine mist from a
can such as an insecticide. The smoke or fine mist, which enters inside of the
equipment, can cause failure.
Impact from falling
Do not fall the equipment or hit it against another object. It can cause internal
deformation and deterioration. Operating the equipment under such defective
conditions can cause failure.
Vent
A vent is used for preventing rise in temperature inside the equipment. Do not
block the vent by placing or leaning an object. If you do, the temperature rises,
which can cause failure. Check and clean ventilation holes periodically to keep
the dust from gathering on them.
Power supply module
Since the power supply module has a high-voltage area in it, do not open the
cover. If you do, it can result in an electric shock or equipment failure.
Contact with connection terminals
Do not touch connection terminals, such as a connector, with your hand or

any metal item. Do not insert any objects such as wire into them. Do not
place the equipment in a place with metal pieces. If you do, a short circuit
can be developed, causing equipment failure.
When you have to touch the card, be careful not to hurt yourself. You can

wear cotton gloves. Without caution, it can cause injury.
Not designed to operate outdoors
Do not operate the equipment outdoors. If you do, it could cause a failure.
