SPECIAL WARNINGS REGARDING TEMPERATURE
Before powering your Control|24 on, be sure to allow
it to reach room temperature. There are some
components that are senstive to cold temperatures,
therefore it is recommended that you unpack your
unit and allow it to acclimate before turning it on for
the first time. While your unit is coming up to room
temperature, it may be a good time for you to
familiarize yourself with your User Guide.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING FUSES
Before operating your Control|24, it is required that
you place the correct fuse into the socket and insert
it into the fuseholder located next to the power
cable. Check the enclosed grid to see which fuse and
settings to match your AC power . If you are unsure
of what your voltage is, call your local power utility to
be sure you are using the correct fuses and power
settings. Using the incorrect fuse and settings may
result in damage to your Control|24.
