 DANGER

 

Compulsory icon

Use the machine within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 45°C or 32°F to 113°F, the humidity of 10% to 80%. Also, store in a dry environment with no dust in an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 45°C or 32°F to 113°F.

Failure to do so may result in fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Prohibited icon

The machine is solely designed for indoor use. Do not use outside such as on a street.

Doing so may cause malfunction, failure or destruction of parts due to natural elements, or other unexpected behavior as the machine is not designed for an outdoor operating environment.

Prohibited icon

Do not use the machine in a stepped location, on an uneven floor (braille blocks),  or on a sloped surface.

  • The machine may fall over or drop and damage the machine or floor or cause injury or damage to surrounding people or property if traveling where there are steps.
  • Traveling on an uneven floor may prevent the sensors from operating normally, which may result in injury or damage to surrounding people or property.

Prohibited icon

Do not expose the machine to dust in large amounts, sand, snow, ice, water, humidity, saltwater environments, or brine mist (example: ocean environment, shore environment, etc.).

Doing so may cause malfunctioning, failure or destruction of parts due to natural elements, electric short-circuiting, or other unexpected behavior or damage as the machine is not designed for an outdoor operating environment.

Prohibited icon

Do not block the machine’s vents.

Doing so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager, including deformation of the machine.

Failure to do so may cause electric shock or injury to the operator or damage to the machine.

Prohibited icon

If the secondary battery is off/low, do not remove the battery with the main power switch on the machine on.

Doing so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery or notification pager.

Prohibited icon

Recharge the battery for the machine using only the battery charger that came with the machine. Recharge the notification pager using only the charging stand that came with the machine.

Failure to do so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Compulsory icon
