Tampering with the unit will result in a loss of the right to guarantee claims and
the discontinuation of the manufacturer's guarantee obligation to uphold the
harmonised standards according to the law regarding the electromagnetic
compatibility of units and low voltage directive.
• All integrated circuits and memory modules, as well as the contacts on all
sockets and plugs, are susceptible to static electricity. Protect these from static
electricity. The effect of static electricity, rapid transients or strong
electromagnetic fields on the SCALEO E may cause faults. Touch an earthed
object or wear a ground strap to divert any electrostatic charge from your body.
• All ports are only designed for connection of safety extra-low voltage (SELV).
• If the BIOS needs to be updated, only Fujitsu Siemens Computers updates
are to be used.
Optical drives
• Use only completely perfect storage media (e.g. CD, DVD) in your optical drive
to avoid data loss, damage to the SCALEO E and injury.
• Each CD/DVD should be checked for damage such as fine cracks, fractures or
similar prior to insertion in the drive.
• Note that additional adhesive changes the mechanical properties of a CD/DVD
and may lead to an imbalance.
• Damaged and unbalanced CDs/DVDs may break at high drive speeds (data
loss). Under some circumstances, sharp-edged fractures may penetrate the
cover of the drive (damage to the machine) and be thrown out of the machine
(risk of injury, in particular to exposed parts of the body such as face and neck).
• Look after the optical drive and prevent mechanical damage as well as
premature ware of the storage media by taking the following advice:
- Only insert CDs/DVDs in the drive when required and remove them after
use.
- Store the CDs/DVDs in appropriate cases. Protect them from heat and
direct sunlight.
Cleaning
• Switch off the SCALEO E and any peripherals, removing the plug from the
socket.
• Use a non-abrasive cleaning product and/or a lightly dampened cloth.
• Avoid using cleaning sprays and any kind of solution containing alcohol or other
flammable liquids. Do not use any abrasive powder or cleaning agent which
dissolves plastic for cleaning.
Additional notes for proper operation
• Position the SCALEO E so that there is adequate air for cooling. Never cover
the ventilation slots on the unit. This could cause overheating and thus shorten
the life of your unit.
• Protect your SCALEO E from very high humidity, direct sunlight as well as high
