SAFETY
1) Before playing video games
Make sure that the room is well illuminated and lighting is adjusted to the
brightness of the monitor. Keep a suitable distance from the display monitor.
2) Static electricity precautions
Do not take the graphics card out from the original static electricity
protection package until you are ready to install it. Before installing, wear
a grounded wrist strap if possible, or discharge static electricity by
touching the bare metal surface of the system chassis. Carefully hold the
graphics card by its rear bracket, and avoid touching the “gold finger” PCB
edge connector unless it is necessary.
3) Turn off system power before installing the graphics card
Turn off the AC main power to the system, by the AC main power switch or by
detaching the AC power cord. Damage to the graphics card or the system
components, or injury to you may result if power is turned on during the
installation.Please consult a qualified technician if necessary. The
manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or
indirectly, by improper installation by unauthorized service personnel.
4) Electrical Safety
Each graphics card requires a power supply that meets or exceeds a minimum
wattage and/or PCIe connectors. High-end graphics cards may feature higher
power consumption. Make sure that separate power cables are used on high power
draw graphics cards and your power supply is set to the correct voltage for
your region.
5) Operation Safety
Do not touch the card or block the fans from running while in operation to
reduce the risk of injury. Parts such as the backplate and heatsink can be hot
to the touch under heavy load. Allow at least 5 minutes to pass after powering
down to make sure all components have cooled down for safe handling.
6) Trigger Warning: Photosensitive epilepsy
Extremely pronounced lighting effects such as fast image changes, repetitions
of simple geometric shapes, flashes of light may induce epileptic fits or
blackouts in some persons. Even persons with no previous known tendency to
epilepsy may be in danger. If you or member of your family has been diagnosed
as prone to epilepsy, please consult your physician before playing the video
game. Parents should monitor their children carefully when they play video
games. Stop playing immediately if the following symptoms are detected:
nausea, vision disturbance, muscle tension or cramps, orientation problems,
involuntary movements or brief loss of consciousness.
