5.  Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious 

damage. 

6.  Slots and openings on the cabinet top, back, and bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure 

safe and reliable operation of this unit, and to protect it from overheating, do not block or cover 

these openings. Do not place this unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface, as the ventilation 

openings on the bottom of the cabinet will be blocked. This unit should never be placed near or 

over a heat register or radiator. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation unless 

proper ventilation is provided. 

7.  This product should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking label 

of the AC adapter. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your Datavideo dealer 

or your local power company. 

8.  Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this unit where the power cord will 

be walked on, rolled over, or otherwise stressed. 

9.  If an extension cord must be used with this unit, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on 

the products plugged into the extension cord do not exceed the extension cord’s rating. 

10.  Make sure that the total amperes of all the units that are plugged into a single wall outlet do not 

exceed 15 amperes. 

11.  Never push objects of any kind into this unit through the cabinet ventilation slots, as they may 

touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in risk of fire or electric shock. 

Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into this unit. 

12.  Except as specifically explained elsewhere in this manual, do not attempt to service this product 

yourself. Opening or removing covers that are marked “Do Not Remove” may expose you to

d.  When the product does not operate normally under normal operating conditions. Adjust 

only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions in this manual; improper 

adjustment of other controls may result in damage to the unit and may often require 

extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation; 

e.  When the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged; 

f. 

When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
