PRECAUTIONS: The Omega HD Deck has been built to meet the demands of a studio environment; however, the hardware
is subject to the same dangers from static as any other electronic device. Use care when connecting or disconnecting
cables.
IMPORTANT: Take care not to introduce any moisture into the unit. Electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity,
due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the circuitry. All semiconductors, as well as some resistors and
capacitors, may be damaged or degraded by exposure to static electricity. The hard drives and the video card must receive
adequate ventilation, and be kept as cool as possible. A bracket with fans has been designed and already installed into
each Omega HD Deck. This device will help prevent overheating the drive and the video card. Overheating will most likely
cause the unit to malfunction and possibly damage the video card.

technician can decipher whether your problem is caused by a faulty component, and determine whether you need to return
the unit for evaluation and/or repair.
Cleaning: The chassis should only require dusting with a soft cloth. Solvents may harm the painted surface and leak to
the inside causing severe damage. If you work in a dusty environment, periodic dusting within the unit using forced air is
recommended to ensure the life of the fan and power supply.
Operation and Storage Environment: Due to the nature of the hard drives used with this device THE UNIT MUST BE
USED IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Do not cover or block the ventilation area and try to avoid areas with excessive
heat, which may cause the video card to malfunction.
