Troubleshooting for high system temperature:
1. Check whether system vents are clear and unobstructed. See section 3.2.1 for the location of

2. Check whether the ambient temperature where the system is used is above 40℃. The system
must be used in the ambient temperature lower than 40℃.

contact the Service.
