• 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.

• The danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Avoid the disposal of a battery in a 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 the 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.
