7. Water and moisture — Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink
and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.
8. Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation.
Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause
overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed,
sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. Do not
place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.
9. Power cord protection — The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people
from stepping on them or objects from resting on them.
10. The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is
dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD
panel breaks.
11. Overloading — Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric
shock.
12. Entering of objects and liquids — Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings.
High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short
internal parts.
For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
