Connect Braille
Important Information
Page 45
Do not expose your Connect Braille to extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity
during operation. The operating temperature should be between +10°C (= 50°F) and
+40°C (= 100°F) and relative humidity may not exceed 80%.
The Connect Braille must not be operated in moist rooms, for example, bathrooms,
because the device generates voltages up to 200 V.
All cables (interface cable, power cable) must be installed such that they do not pose any
hazards (tripping hazard).
Whenever you want to connect or disconnect the interface cable to or from the Connect
Braille, always avoid any direct touching of the wire contacts in the plug. Touching the
contacts could damage your computer interface through static electricity overload.
Before disconnecting the interface cable from the Connect Braille, we recommend first
disconnecting the cable from the PC.
Please use only the power supply unit (type FW7555M/09) and cable supplied with your
Connect Braille for connecting it to utility power and for recharging the batteries. Never use
the included power supply if the Connect Braille contains commercial non-rechargeable or
nickel cadmium-batteries.
When cleaning the device, always disconnect both the power cable and the interface
cable.
If the Connect Braille was dropped, the housing has become damaged, or the Connect
Braille is malfunctioning, turn the unit off immediately. It needs to be serviced by
authorized service personnel.
The power supply should be disconnected if the unit will not be used for an extended
period of time.
Always finish what you are working on before disconnecting the power supply cable from
the Connect Braille. Switching over from the power supply to battery power takes some
time, during which fluctuations in voltage can occur.
This device must be disposed of at the end of its useful life in compliance with applicable
guidelines for electronic devices.
10.4 Handling the Connect Braille
The Connect Braille's Braille modules utilize the highly reliable and maintenance-free
piezo technology. If handled properly, you will enjoy many years of trouble-free operation.
Always operate your Connect Braille at normal room temperature and protect it from
humidity. Avoid exposing the Connect Braille to extreme changes in temperature.
