The unit’s electrical warranty would become void if a constant power source is not available. Also make sure that a
proper surge protector is between the unit and the power source. The circuit board will not be warranted if there is no
a surge protector installed to the unit.
It is strongly recommended that you unplug the power source during times when the unit is not being operated to
protect the unit from power surges, power spikes and drops in power. It is very common for a circuit board to work
