Make sure the source device is correct and functioning. Equal capacity of source and target is recommended for guaranteed data consistency. Using the Copy+Compare function provides the most flawless duplication. Damage incurred due to non-compliance with our operating instructions will void the warranty. Store the equipment safely when not in use and keep out of the reach of children. Please turn off duplicator before replacing sockets. Never turn off the power while the firmware updates. Use only approved, stable power sources. The power supply has overload protection. When it is overloaded and shutdown, please unplug the power cord for 2 minutes for discharging. Use product only in a clean, dry, dust-free, and ventilated area. Liquids or foreign debris can severely damage your duplicator. It is typical for the machine to heat up during operation. While in use, do not move the duplicator or remove SSDs. Static electricity may cause duplication error. Please pay attention to the duplicator's environment while operating equipment. Purchasing electricity elimination equipment helps avoid shock. Devices will operate at high-temperatures during selected tasks. Wear protective gloves to prevent burns when handling devices. Ensure machine and operator are properly grounded to prevent ESD. Notice Symbols Special items, procedures, or notes to be observed prior to use: Note Refers to related duplicator operations, special details, tips, or suggestions for operational effectiveness.
