The Ninja Star is designed to a high standard but there are some things you
should be aware of to prolong the life of the unit and for your own safety.
Batteries and power supplies
The battery supplied with the Ninja Star is a powerful professional device,
designed to retain enough energy to supply the Ninja Star for hours. You
should avoid short-circuiting the battery connections because this can
cause a high current to flow which can damage the cells and even pose a
fire hazard. For example, you should not carry batteries in a bag or pocket
where they may contact other metal objects such as coins.
The power supply and battery charger included are intended for use with
the Ninja Star only. Keep the power supply, plug and cable away from water
and unplug from the mains electricity socket when not in use.
Disconnect power supplies before cleaning the Ninja Star or its
components.
Using the Ninja Star safely
Although the Ninja Star is very lightweight compared to all the devices it
replaces, it is still a solid object that could cause injury if misused.
• Always make sure that the Ninja Star is mounted securely and is
unable to fall onto anyone nearby. This is especially important when
there are children present who might be tempted to pull on cables.
• Always ensure that cable runs to the Ninja Star are clearly visible
and do not present a trip hazard.
• Do not place on uneven or unstable surfaces.
• Use only Atomos approved 1.0 & 2.0 CFast Cards in the slot on the
side of the Ninja Star (see www.atomos.com/discovery-what-drives
for complete list).
• The Ninja Star can become warm or hot with prolonged use. Do not
place it in contact with any part of your body where such warming
could cause discomfort or injury.
• Do not expose to strong electrical or magnetic fields.
• Do not expose to or use near liquids, rain or moisture.
• Do not dispose of the Ninja Star or its batteries in municipal waste and
do not incinerate it or its batteries, but follow local regulations for safe
disposal
