•Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,
remove the batteries or disconnect the AC power
adaptor, and have the unit checked by qualied
personnel before operating it any further.
•Keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or
spring-wound watches etc. away from the unit to
