Before using PhotoMaker Pro, please ensure that you read and understand the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the PhotoMaker Pro is operated correctly. 1. Do not try to open the case of the PhotoMaker Pro or attempt to modify it in any way. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Maintenance and repairs should be performed only by authorized service providers. 2. Keep PhotoMaker Pro away from water and other liquids. Do not use with wet hands. Moisture creates the danger of fire and electric shock. 3. If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the PhotoMaker Pro, turn the power off immediately. Contact the Kaiser Baas Support Centre to organise repair. Never attempt to repair PhotoMaker Pro on your own. 4. Use only the supplied power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly recommended for the PhotoMaker Pro may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards. 5. PhotoMaker Pro may become slightly warm during use. This does not indicate malfunction. 6. If the exterior of PhotoMaker Pro needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
