 contact with sprayed and dripping water and corrosive
liquids is prevented and the device is never operated near
water; in particular it should never be immersed (do not
place any objects filled with liquids such as vases or drinks
on or near the device);
 the device is not subjected to any extreme temperature
fluctuations, as this may result in moisture caused by
condensation and therefore a short circuit;

Cables
Always handle the cables by the connector and do not pull on
the cables themselves. Never place furniture or other heavy
objects on the cable and take care that the cable is not kinked,
especially near the plug. Never make knots in the cable or tie it
together with other cables. Ensure that all cables are placed so
that no one can trip over them and they do not cause an
obstruction.
Children and persons with
disabilities
Electrical devices do not belong in the hands of children.
Persons with disabilities should also only use electrical devices
appropriately. Never allow children or persons with disabilities
to use electrical devices unsupervised. They may not recognise
potential risks. Small parts can be fatal if swallowed. Also
always keep plastic packaging out of reach as it poses a
suffocation risk.
LEDs
There are two LEDs on one plug of the PC connection cable.
These will flash constantly as soon as the PC connection cable
is detected by the operating system. If data is being transferred
the LEDs will flash faster.
Prior to use

one computer and the other end to a USB port on the other
computer, ensuring the PCs are switched on.
