Power
∙Make sure that the power voltage is within its safety range and has been adjusted
properly to the value of 100~240V before connecting the device to the power outlet.
∙If the power cord comes with a 3-pin plug, do not disable the protective earth pin
from the plug. The device must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.
∙Please confirm the power distribution system in the installation site shall provide
the circuit breaker rated 120/240V, 20A (maximum).
∙Always disconnect the power cord or switch the wall socket off if the device would be
left unused for a certain time to achieve zero energy consumption.
∙Place the power cord in a way that people are unlikely to step on it. Do not place
anything on the power cord.
∙If this device comes with an adapter, use only the MSI provided AC adapter approved
for use with this device.
Battery
Please take special precautions if this device comes with a battery.
∙Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
∙Avoid disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting
of a battery, which can result in an explosion.
∙Avoid leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature or extremely low air
pressure environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable
liquid or gas.
∙Do not ingest battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause
severe internal burns and can lead to death. Keep new and used batteries away from
children.
European Union:
Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of as
