• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.

it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside
an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to
temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform

• When moved from one location to another where
the temperature and/or humidity is very dierent,
water droplets (condensation) may form inside

Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it
to stand for several hours, until the condensation
has completely evaporated.
