Handle with care
This device is designed to be plugged directly into the USB port of a computer, however, every precaution should
be taken to avoid stress on the device should the computer be lifted, moved, relocated or packaged. Should
regular movement of this nature be envisaged, an extender cable (sometimes supplied with the device) should be
used so as to avoid damage to the device. It should be noted that any damage sustained as a result of the
aforementioned mishandling will be regarded as “User Damage” and shall render the product warranty null and
void.
