Do not insert any objects through the housing vents into the device, as they could contact live parts or cause shorted circuits. You may not operate any high-performance radio transceivers or alike in close proximity to the device. Do not service the device for yourself, as when opening and removing covers live parts are exposed and, besides others, there is a risk to suffer from electric shocks. [. . . ]
