Operating and Storage Locations
• Avoid operating and storing the switcher in the
following locations:
– Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature:
5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)
– Places exposed to direct sunlight for a long period or
close to heating appliances
– Close to sources of strong magnetism
– Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic
radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters
– Places exposed to strong vibration or shock
• Using a mobile phone, etc. near the switcher may cause
a malfunction or affect the images. Try to turn off mobile
phones, etc. as much as possible when you are near the
switcher.
• When the switcher is installed in a rack, leave more than
10 cm (4 inches) of space at the left and right sides and
more than 10 cm (4 inches) of space in the rear between
the rack and the switcher.
• Leave space around the switcher for ventilation and
maintenance when it is installed.

such as on a desk, leave more than 10 cm (4 inches) of

Cleaning

from the AC outlet before cleaning.
On cleaning of the cabinet
• Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the cabinet. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened
with a mild detergent solution. Then wipe it with a soft
dry cloth.
• Never use strong solvent, such as thinner, benzene, or
insecticides, since they may damage the surface finish or
fade indications on the switcher.
• If you wipe the cabinet forcibly using a cloth with any
dust attached, the cabinet may be scratched.
• If the cabinet of the switcher is exposed to a rubber or
vinyl object for a long period, the cabinet may be
changed in quality, or some of the coating may come off.
