The Ronin is designed to a high standard but there are some things you

should be aware of to prolong the life of the unit and for your own safety.

Batteries and power supplies

The batteries supplied with the Ronin are designed to retain enough energy

to supply the Ronin for hours. You should avoid short-circuiting the battery

connections because this can cause a high current to ﬂow which can damage

the cells and even pose a ﬁre hazard. For example, you should not carry

batteries in a bag or pocket where they may contact other metal objects such

as coins.

Disconnect the power before cleaning the Ronin or its components.

Using the Ronin safely

Although the Ronin is very lightweight compared to all the devices it replaces,

it is still a solid object that could cause injury if misused.

• Always make sure that the Ronin is mounted securely and is unable to fall

onto anyone nearby.

• Always ensure that cable runs to the Ronin are clearly visible and do not

present a trip hazard.

• Do not place on uneven or unstable surfaces.

• Do not insert anything but Ronin Master Disk caddies in the Master Disk

slot on the front of the Ronin.

• Do not touch the Ronin’s screen with sharp, metallic or abrasive objects.

• The Ronin can become warm or hot with prolonged use. Do not place it in

contact with your lap or any part of your body where such warming could

cause discomfort or injury.

• Do not expose to strong electrical or magnetic elds.

• Do not expose to or use near liquids, rain or moisture.

• Do not dispose of the Ronin or its batteries in municipal waste and do not

incinerate it or its batteries, but follow local regulations for safe disposal

Care of disk drives

Spinning disks and SSDs are very sensitive to damage from static electricity.

Please observe all the usual precautions when handling them.

Please see the section Mechanical shock and vibration later in this manual for

information about how to handle and care for your disk drives.

SDI Cables

Please remember that SDI cables use locking connectors and will not simply

pull out if they are jerked or tripped over. They are therefore a signiﬁcant trip

hazard, and also a hazard to your equipment, which may be damaged if the

cables are misused.

To keep things simple but clear, we’ve only adopted two
