Usage Notes
Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or if ambient
temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit
and/or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation
occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation clears before
operating the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may
damage the unit.
Consumable parts
The life expectancy of the AC adapter and the electrolytic capacitor is about
5 years under normal operating temperatures and normal usage (8 hours per day;
25 days per month). If usage exceeds the above-normal usage frequency, the
life expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.
Maintenance
Using benzene, thinners, acidic cleaning solutions, alkaline cleaning
solutions, solutions containing polishing agents, chemical cloths, and other
volatile solvents may damage the surface finish of the unit. Obey the
following when cleaning the unit.
- Wipe the unit’s surface using isopropyl alcohol with a concentration of 50% to 70% v/v or ethanol with a concentration of 76.9% to 81.4% v/v.
- For stubborn dirt, lightly moisten a soft cloth with a mild detergent that has been diluted with water, use the cloth to remove the dirt, and then wipe again using the previous concentration of solution and a new cloth. Do not wipe with excessive pressure when using a cloth on which dirt and other particles are attached, as doing so may scratch the unit’s surface.
