1.5 Safety Precautions
(2) Storage and Transportation Precautions
NOTICE
Never subject the product to an atmosphere containing halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine,
or iodine) during transportation.
There is a risk of malfunction or damage.
If disinfectants or insecticides must be used to treat packing materials such as wooden
frames, plywood, or pallets, use a method other than fumigation.
For example, use heat sterilization (core temperature of 56°C or higher for 30 minutes or
longer).
Treat the packing materials before the product is packaged instead of using a method that
treats the entire packaged product.
If the electronic products, which include stand-alone products and products installed in machines, are packed
with fumigated wooden materials, the electrical components may be greatly damaged by the gases or fumes
resulting from the fumigation process. In particular, disinfectants containing halogen, which includes chlor-
ine, fluorine, bromine, or iodine can contribute to the erosion of the capacitors.
Do not store the product in any of the following locations.
• Locations that are subject to direct sunlight
• Locations that are subject to ambient storage temperatures that exceed product
specifications
• Locations that are subject to relative humidities that exceed product specifications
• Locations that are subject to condensation as the result of extreme changes in
temperature
• Locations that are subject to corrosive or flammable gases
• Locations that are near flammable objects
• Locations that are subject to dust, salts, or metal powder
• Locations that are subject to water, oil, or chemicals
• Locations that are subject to vibration or shock that exceeds product specifications
If you store the product in any of the above locations, the product may fail or be damaged.
CAUTION
Do not remove the front cover, cables, connector, or options while power is being supplied.
There is a risk of electrical shock, malfunction, or damage.
Do not damage, pull on, apply excessive force to, place heavy objects on, or pinch the
cables.
There is a risk of electrical shock, operational failure of the product, or burning.
NOTICE
Do not turn the power ON and OFF frequently.
This may cause the elements inside the base unit to deteriorate.
CAUTION
Hold onto the main body of the product when transporting it.
Holding the cables or connectors may damage them or result in injury.
Do not overload the product during transportation. (Follow all instructions.)
There is a risk of injury or malfunction.
