Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
To prevent damage to your VideoPlex4 or injury to personnel operating the equipment, read the following safety precautions prior
to operation. These instructions should be made available to all those who will use and operate the VideoPlex4.
Power Supply
All VideoPlex4s require a power supply. This power supply must be disconnected when equipment is being upgraded or
relocated.
Cables
Do not expose cables to any liquids; doing so may cause a short circuit that could damage the equipment. Do not place heavy
objects on top of any cables, because this can cause damage and possibly lead to exposed live wires.
Ventilation
All computer equipment should be located in a well-ventilated area. All ventilation holes on the unit casing must be kept clear of
any obstruction at all times. Failure to do so will result in the system overheating and damaging your equipment.
Working Environment
Locate the equipment in an environment free from dust, moisture, and extreme changes in temperature. Place the VideoPlex4 on
a stable and solid work surface. Do not place liquids (hot/cold drinks, etc.) near the equipment because spills could cause serious
damage.
Gas/Flammable Liquids
Never use electronic equipment in the presence of gas or any flammable liquid; doing so could result in an explosion or serious
fire.
Smoke/Unusual Smells
If you notice smoke or unusual smells being emitted from your computer, turn off and unplug the system from the power supply.
Then pass the system to a qualified technician for inspection. Continued operation could result in personal injury and damage to
property.
Maintenance
Maintenance should only be carried out by competent technicians. Any VideoPlex4s that are damaged should be returned to
Black Box for repair using Black Box RMA procedures.
Disposal
At the end of life, all VideoPlex4s should be disposed of as local laws and regulations dictate.
