The ZK150 should not be cleaned with liquid cleaners. Use only a dry cloth to clean the ZK150.

Only use the ZK150 in areas with adequate open ventilation allowing at least 4" of space on all sides of the ZK150. Do not set the ZK150 on any surface or cover the ZK150 with any object that could impede the airflow to and from the ZK150.

The ZK150 should not be placed near any source of heat. This includes but is not limited to stoves, radiators, heating elements, electronic heat sources, and areas where excessive solar heat can be generated. Do not install the ZK150 near any fl ame or place any fl ammable objects near the device.

The power outlet used to provide power to the ZK150 should be accessible at all times. The polarized 2-prong electrical plug has a wide blade and narrow blade that should fit into the corresponding wide and narrow receiving connections of your electrical outlet. Do not force the plug into the outlet. If the plug provided with the unit does not fit, consult with an electrician to upgrade the electrical outlet accordingly.

The power cord should be situated in a way that protects it from being pinched, walked on, tripped over, or accidentally pulled from the electrical outlet or the electrical input on the ZK150.
