Also, if you are not in a healthy condition when working, your attention may falter,
which could result in a lapses of concentration on your work, or serious injury or
death due to a loss of attention.

WARNINGUse caution not to allow small children to handle the components.
Touching the frame materials may result in injury. Also, swallowing small parts could
result in suffocation or injury.

Do not step on or place heavy objects on the case.
The case may break, and you may be injured as a result. Use extra care with smallchildren.

Use caution in regard to safety when checking the operation of thisproduct after assembly, to avoid unintentional accidents.
Due to the nature of assembly kits, Socionext cannot guarantee the safety of the userwhen checking the operations of this unit after assembly. For this reason, you should
anticipate unintended accidents such as injuries, electric shock, burns and so on
when checking operations. As a countermeasure, the users themselves must giveconsideration to safety.
Please use caution.

Recognize the dangers of a short circuit on the mounted parts on thecircuit board.
Since this product features an exposed circuit board, there is a greater danger of
easily short-circuiting the mounted electronic components by touching them with aconductive material. Short circuits can cause the battery or wiring to catch on fire.
This could also occur due to improper connections. Use sufficient caution duringassembly.

Do not disassemble or modify the circuit board.
You must never disassemble or modify the circuit board, apart from the instructions
shown in the assembly guide. Disassembling the circuit board may cause productfailure, which can result in electric shock or fire.
Socionext reserves the right to refuse repairs of products that have failed due tobeing modified by the user.
Contact Customer services at Socionext in the event that this product fails.

Do not turn the unit on until it has been installed into the case andwired.
Turning the power of this unit on when the motherboard is exposed by itself may
result in electric shock or other dangers. Further, if a short circuit occurs on the circuitboard due to coming into contact with metal or other foreign objects, the unit may
become hot or catch on fire. To prevent this, install all parts including themotherboard into the case before turning on the power.

CAUTION
Hold both edges of the circuit board when handling.
The front side of the circuit board includes sharp protrusions at the solder points,
which could cause injury if touched. Also, touching the electronic components on thecircuit board may damage these components due to static electricity, which could
result in product failure.
