User Manual Conventions
The Shinobi is designed to a high standard but there are some things you
should be aware of to prolong the life of the unit and for your own safety.
Using the Shinobi safely
Although the Shinobi is very lightweight compared to all the devices it
replaces, it is still a solid object that could cause injury if misused.
• Always make sure that the Shinobi is mounted securely and is unable
to fall onto anyone nearby. This is especially important when there are
children present who might be tempted to pull on cables.
• Always ensure that cables that run to the Shinobi are clearly visible and
do not present a trip hazard.
• Do not place on uneven or unstable surfaces.
• Do not touch the Shinobi screen with sharp, metallic or abrasive objects.
• Donotexposetostrongelectricalormagneticelds.
• Do not expose to liquids, rain or moisture.
• Do not dispose of the Shinobi in municipal waste and do not incinerate it,
always follow local regulations for safe disposal.
HDMI cables
Please remember that almost all HDMI cables do not use locking
connectors and will simply pull out if they are jerked or tripped over.
