Do not drop the equipment, let it fall, or hit it against another object. This
can cause internal deformation and deterioration. Using the equipment
under such conditions can cause an equipment failure.
Vents
Vents are used for preventing rises in temperature inside the equipment.
Do not block a vent by placing or leaning an object against it. If you do
so, the inside temperature rises, which can cause an equipment failure.
Periodically check and clean vents to keep dust from gathering on them.
Contact with connection terminals
Do not touch connection terminals such as a connector with your hand or
any metal item. Do not insert any foreign objects such as wire into
connection terminals. Do not place the equipment in a place with pieces
of metal. If you do so, a short circuit can develop, which can cause an
equipment failure.
Moving between two locations with a temperature difference
If you move the equipment from one location to another, a significant
temperature gap between the two locations might cause condensation on
the surface or inside the equipment. Using the equipment with
condensation present can cause an equipment failure. Leave the
equipment at a new location for several hours until the temperature of
the equipment matches the temperature of the new environment, and
then start using the equipment.
For example, if you move the equipment from an environment whose
temperature is 5°C to one whose temperature is 25°C, leave the
equipment for about two hours.
Adding and connecting to peripheral devices
Use only peripheral devices that are explicitly listed as supported in the
manual, and always follow the instructions in the manual. Using devices
other than those mentioned above can cause failures in peripheral devices
and the equipment due to the difference in connection specifications.
Radio interference
When you install the equipment next to another electronic device, the
radio waves might interfere with each other. In particular, noise might be
observed in nearby television sets or radios.
Strong magnetism generator
Do not place a device that generates strong magnetism, such as a
magnet or a speaker, near the equipment. If you do so, a system unit
failure might occur.
