04SAFETY

  • Do not submerge. The unit is not rated for the Atlantic, or for False Bay.
  • Contains no user-serviceable parts; the MSc is still in progress.
  • Operating temperature 12 °C to 28 °C. Uptime outside this range is loadshedding-dependent.
  • Do not operate with League of Legends installed. Symptoms resolve on uninstall.
  • Twelve demons completed. A thirteenth is not covered by warranty.
  • The unit may emit stretched vowels (issssaaaaah). This is normal.
  • Printing this manual does not charge the battery.
