OTM-20 Installation and Operation Handbook 1-3
The Optical Test Meter is a laser instrument. Users should avoid looking directly into
the optical output. And the use of a microscope or magnifier should also be avoided,
for the use of such devices can focus a highly intense beam onto the retina that may
result in permanent eye damage.
Battery : The battery for this instrument is a rechargeable NiMH battery. If unused for
a long time, the battery should be recharged before being used. If the instrument is left
idle for more than two months, it should be recharged to maintain adequate power
volume.
Battery Power: Do not recharge batteries for more than 8 hours. Do not take batteries
out without the assistance of authorized personnel help. Do not expose batteries to fire
or intense heat. Do not open or mutilate batteries. Avoid touching the electrolyte on the
batteries, which is corrosive and may cause injuries to eyes or skin, or damage to
clothes.
