Do not disassemble or modify the machine/AC adapter.  
Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry

wet hands or spilling beverages on to them.  
Do not expose the machine/AC adapter to extremely high temperatures or high  
humidity. Never leave them on the dashboard or in the back of your car, near heaters

machine for an extended period of time. (Note: When power is disconnected for more  
than five minutes, all text, format settings and any text files stored in the memory will

batteries, or set the positive and negative end in the wrong position. Otherwise, the  
batteries may leak or be damaged.  
Do not use metallic articles, such as tweezers or metallic pen, when exchanging the  
batteries.  
Always use the specified voltage and the suggested AC adapter (AD5000) for  
this machine to prevent any damage or failure.
