    • You spill something into the device casing.
    • The device is exposed to rain or excess moisture.
    • The device was dropped and the device casing is damaged.
    • You suspect the device needs service or repair.

  • Permanently unplug the unit before you move it or if you think it is damaged in any way.

  • Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection to meet the following power specifications:

    • Voltage: 100 V AC to 240 V AC
    • Current: 6 A, maximum
    • Frequency: 50 Hz to 60 Hz
