⚠️ Important Usage Guidelines:
To ensure safe operation and maintain return eligibility:
Only use new, original, and certified consumables (e.g. tapes, cleaning kits, cables)
Always check your local power voltage compatibility. If needed, use a high-quality step-up/down voltage transformer
Handle the equipment carefully — misuse, physical damage, or unauthorized modifications will void return eligibility
