Dear Everyone
    I am calculating the gap of amorphous-Al2O3 with HSE and met such an
warning:

 *** 00:17:01 WARNING in hfx_types:hfx_create_neighbor_cells :: Periodic ***
 *** Hartree Fock calculation requested with use of a truncated or       ***
 *** shortrange potential. The cutoff radius is larger than half the     ***
 *** minimal cell dimension. This may lead to unphysical total energies. ***
 *** Reduce the cutoff radius in order to avoid possible problems.       ***
 *** hfx_types.F line 1450

Could you help me check my input file and let me know how to solve this
warning?

The following is my input file:
