NordBord Safety and Care
While the NordBord is a simple, safe product, the following guidelines should be observed.
Electrical care
| The NordBord ankle hooks should never be pushed forcefully into the sides of the sockets from which they protrude. Doing so can damage the NordBord precision sensors. For more information learn How the NordBord Sensors Work. |
| Keep liquids away from the NordBord Control Module (the orange box containing the NordBord computer), including preventing dripping from above and splashing from below. |
| Keep liquids away from the base of the Sensor Modules (where the sensors are located), including preventing dripping from above and splashing from below. |
| Ensure the NordBord is not placed over or moved over any sharp objects, as they may damage the electronics module or sensor cables. |
| When being transported, ensure the Ankle Hooks are removed, and the NordBord is well padded, with no forces being exerted on the Sensor Modules or Control Module. |
Physical safety
| The legs, ankle hooks and corners of the NordBord can potentially be tripping hazards. Exercise caution when walking around the NordBord, and when approaching and leaving the NordBord for a test. |
| The NordBord is reasonably heavy (25kg / 55lb), so it must be moved carefully in transit. It must be used and stored on a solid, flat surface when not being transported. |
