Troubleshooting 23

Safety Instructions

∙ Read the safety instructions carefully and thoroughly.

∙ All cautions and warnings on the device or User Guide should be noted.

∙ Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Power

∙ Make sure that the power voltage is within its safety range and has been adjusted properly to the value of 100~240V before connecting the device to the power outlet.

∙ If the power cord comes with a 3-pin plug, do not disable the protective earth pin from the plug. The device must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.

∙ Please confirm the power distribution system in the installation site shall provide the circuit breaker rated 120/240V, 20A (maximum).

∙ Always disconnect the power cord or switch the wall socket off if the device would be left unused for a certain time to achieve zero energy consumption.

∙ Place the power cord in a way that people are unlikely to step on it. Do not place anything on the power cord.

∙ If this device comes with an adapter, use only the MSI provided AC adapter approved for use with this device.

Battery

Please take special precautions if this device comes with a battery.

∙ Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

∙ Avoid disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, which can result in an explosion.

∙ Avoid leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature or extremely low air pressure environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

∙ Do not ingest battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns and can lead to death. Keep new and used batteries away from children.

European Union:

Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of as unsorted household waste. Please use the public collection system to return, recycle, or treat them in compliance with the local regulations.

BSMI:

廢電池請回收

For better environmental protection, waste batteries should be collected separately for recycling or special disposal.

24 Safety Instructions

California, USA:

The button cell battery may contain perchlorate material and requires special handling when recycled or disposed of in California.

For further information please visit: https://dtsc.ca.gov/perchlorate/

Environment

∙ To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the device, do not place the device on a soft, unsteady surface or obstruct its air ventilators.

∙ Use this device only on a hard, flat and steady surface.

∙ To prevent the device from tipping over, secure the device to a desk, wall or fixed object with an anti-tip fastener that helps to properly support the device and keep it safe in place.
