Contents Safety Instructions
User Manual Conventions
The Shogun Flame 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 Shogun Flame safely
Although the Shogun Flame 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 Shogun Flame 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 cable runs to the Shogun Flame are clearly visible
and do not present a trip hazard.
• Do not place on uneven or unstable surfaces.
• Do not insert anything but Shogun Flame Master Disk caddies in the
Master Disk slot on the front of the Shogun Flame.
• Do not touch the Shogun Flame’s screen with sharp, metallic or abrasive
objects.
• Donotexposetostrongelectricalormagneticelds.
• Do not expose to or use near liquids, rain or moisture.
• Do not dispose of the Shogun Flame in municipal waste and do not
incinerate it, always follow local regulations for safe disposal.
Care of disk drives
Spinning disks and SSDs are very sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Please observe all the usual ESD precautions when handling them.
Please see the section Mechanical shock and vibration later in this manual
for information about how to handle and care for your disk drives.
SDI Cables

simply pull out if they are jerked or tripped over. They are therefore a

simply pull out if they are jerked or tripped over. Please ensure your cables
