Avoid switching your Braille system on immediately after moving it from a cold room
into a warm environment. Under unfavorable conditions, condensation can damage
the device. Wait until the device has warmed to room temperature before turning it
on.
All cables (interface cable, power cable) must be installed such that they do not pose
any hazards (tripping hazard).
When you connect or disconnect the interface cable to or from the Braille display,
always avoid directly touching the wire contacts inside the plug. Touching the
contacts could damage your computer interface through static electricity overload.
Before disconnecting the interface cable from the Braille display, we recommend first
disconnecting the cable from the PC.
Please use only the power supply unit shipped with your Modular Evolution for
connecting it to utility power.
When cleaning the device, always disconnect both the power cable and the interface
cable first.
If the Braille display was dropped, the housing is damaged, or the Braille system 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.
This device must be disposed of at the end of its useful life in compliance with
applicable guidelines for electronic devices.
7.4 Handling the Braille Display
The Braille system'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 Modular Evolution at normal room temperature and protect it
from humidity. Avoid exposing the Braille display to extreme changes in temperature.
Do not drop your Braille system, and avoid exposing the device to strong vibrations.
When you have to move the device, support the entire assembly from below. There
are two ridges for this purpose on the left and right side.
Your Braille display will be the better for it if you take care to operate it with clean
hands, because otherwise the tactile pins can become sticky and may release only if
prodded.
