• The product may be installed and used only in dry indoor spaces; it must not get
damp or wet.
• The product should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, in-
tense vibrations or heavy mechanical stress. Protect it against dust and dirt.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room into
a warm one. The condensation that forms can ruin the product under certain cir-
cumstances.
Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power
supply and putting it to use. This may potentially take several hours.
