Handling the battery cartridge
•
Never charge a wet or damp rechargeable battery cartridge.
Doing so could cause the batteries to break, generate heat, rupture, or burn.
Handling the BHT
•
Never put the BHT in places where there are excessively high temperatures, such as inside
closed-up automobiles, or in places exposed to direct sunlight.
Doing so could affect the housing or parts, resulting in a fire.
•
Avoid using the BHT in extremely humid or dusty areas, or where there are drastic
temperature changes.
Moisture or dust will get into the BHT, resulting in malfunction, fire or electrical shock.
•
Never disassemble or modify the BHT; doing so could result in an accident such as break or
fire.

•
If smoke, abnormal odors or noises come from the BHT, immediately turn off the power, pull
out the battery cartridge, and contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause smoke or fire.
•
If foreign material or water gets into the BHT, immediately turn off the power, pull out the
battery cartridge, and contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause smoke or fire.
•
If you drop the BHT so as to damage its housing, immediately turn off the power, pull out the
battery cartridge, and contact your nearest dealer.
Failure to do so could cause smoke or fire.
•
Do not use batteries or power sources other than the specified ones; doing so could
generate heat or cause malfunction.
•
In environments where static electricity can build into significant charges (e.g., if you wipe
off the plastic plate with a dry cloth), do not operate the BHT. Doing so will result in
malfunction or machine failure.
•
When connecting or disconnecting the direct-connect interface cable to/from the BHT, do
not plug or unplug it at an angle and do not pull the cable strongly. Doing so will result in a
machine failure.
•
If the BHT has been stored in a hot (50°C to 60°C, 122°F to 140°F) and humid place, allow
it to sit at room temperature and humidity for at least one day before use. Using the BHT
with its inside being hot will fail to scan or result in a machine failure.
