Note on moisture condensation
Moisture may condense inside the unit and cause damage
to the unit and tape when the unit is moved from a cold to a
warm place, after heating a cold room, or under conditions of
high humidity. If any of the above conditions apply, place the
unit in a well-ventilated area and wait for about two hours
until the unit is warmed to room temperature and the
