Safety

As with any electronic device, operating the Colour Duo safely requires some common sense and respect for the dangers of 

electrical power. Treat your Colour Duo like a hair dryer. Don’t turn it on when it’s wet, only clean it with a dry cloth, and if you 

spill a liquid on it unplug it immediately and don’t turn it back on until it’s been repaired by a tech.
