CHINA ROHS The label on the product indicates the estimated “Environmentally Friendly Use Period” (EFUP). This is an estimate of the number of years that these substances would “not leak out or undergo abrupt change.” This product may contain replaceable sub- assemblies/components which have a shorter EFUP such as batteries and lamps.
▪ Electric shocks can occur if the VITA 474 chassis is opened when it is running. To avoid risk of electric shock, this device must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the VITA 474. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the VITA 474 is opened and any of the electrical components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
B.1.3 Product Disposal CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Only certified engineers should replace the on-board battery. Dispose of used batteries according to instructions and local regulations. ▪ Outside the European Union–If you wish to dispose of used electrical and electronic products outside the European Union, please contact your local authority so as to comply with the correct disposal method.
B.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning Prior to cleaning any part or component of the VITA 474, please read the details below. ▪ Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other components.
Page 79
can be used to clean the device. ▪ Using solvents–The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the device as they may damage the plastic parts. ▪ Vacuum cleaner–Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is one of the best methods of cleaning the device. Dust and dirt can restrict the airflow in the device and cause its circuitry to corrode.
