3.1 General Safety Guide
For your own safety and that of the equipment, always take the following precautions:
Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cord) from the device if any of
the following occurs:
 The power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged
 Liquid is spilled into the case
 The equipment has been dropped or the case has been otherwise damaged

You suspect that your computer needs service or repair
 You want to clean the computer or screen
 You want to remove/install any parts
3.2 Thermal Protection
When using the HIT-W183 terminal, it is normal for the rear metal heatsink to become
warm. The rear metal heatsink of the HIT-W183 terminal functions as a cooling sur-
face that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler external air. Do not block
this heatsink with any soft material.
Warning! Do not place the HIT-W183 terminal on a pillow or other soft material
when powered on as the material may block the airflow and cause the
device to overheat.
