n This device is equipped with a safety-tested power cable and may be

connected only to a prescribed grounded-contact power socket.

n When setting up the device, ensure that the power socket on the device

and the grounded-contact power socket are easily accessible.

n To disconnect the device from the supply voltage completely, switch off

the device and disconnect the power plug.

n Whenever work of any kind is done on the device, as well as when data

cables are plugged and unplugged, the device must be completely

disconnected from the line voltage. To do so, turn the device off and

unplug the power cord.

n Ensure that no foreign objects (c.g. office clips) find their way into the

device, as this may lead to electric shocks or short-circuits.

n Never plug in or unplug data communication lines during thunderstorms.

n Protect devices from vibrations, dust, moisture and heat.

n If liquids were spilled over your BEETLE /iPOS switch off the system and

disconnect the power plug. Dry the device with a cloth and leave it

penetration by liquids or foreign bodies), the device must be switched off

immediately, the power plug disconnected and the Customer Service of

Wincor Nixdorf (WN) or your dealer must be notified.

n The device may only be repaired by authorized qualified personnel.

Unauthorized opening of the device and inexpertly carried-out repairs may
