damage.

4．Before connecting the power supply, ensure that the voltage is in the required range, and

the way of wiring is correct.

5．Carefully put the power cable in place to avoid stepping on it.

6．If the device is not used for a long time, power it off to avoid damage caused by sudden

overvoltage.

7．Do not pour liquid into the venting holes of the enclosure, as this could cause fire or

electric shock.

8．For safety reasons, the device can only be disassembled by professional personnel.

9．If one of the following situations occur, get the equipment checked by service personnel:
