Note: 

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating 

instructions, since improper adjustment of other controls may result in 

damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to 

restore the product to normal condition.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs 

and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you would normally 

be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion 

or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device near depots, storage and 

distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with 

a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, marked. They include below 

deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas 

(such as propane or butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such 

as grain, dust or metal powders. 

Additional safety information

Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of the reach of 

small children.
