overheat, or emit smoke, turn off the power

switch

and

disconnect

the

power

plug

immediately.

Fire or malfunction may result if the instrument is

continued to be used.

Ask your ATAGO distributor for an inspection.



◇

Do not attempt to repair, modify, or disassemble

the instrument yourself.

Improper servicing may result in fire, electrical

shock, or burns.



◇I

f the instrument is dropped or is subjected to a

strong shock, have it inspected by an ATAGO

distributor.

CAUTION

◇

Keep the detection section except for the

wetted sensor part away from water.

Do not operate the instrument while the

connecting ports of the display section is wet.

(The

instrument

protected

against

submersion in water, it may not be operated

submerged in water.)

Do not place the display section in places that

are frequently wet or have constant exposure to

water.



◇

If this instrument is used to measure very hot or

highly acidic samples, the prism may be

damaged resulting in inaccurate measurements.
