Operating Precautions

9

Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates normally to ensure 
that the no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any damage, con-
tact your dealer or Hioki representative.

Avoiding Instrument Damage

To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when 
transporting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock 
from dropping.

CD Handling

• Always hold the disc by the edges, so as not to make fingerprints on 

the disc or scratch the printing. Never touch the recorded side of the 
disc. Do not place the disc directly on anything hard.

• Do not wet the disc with volatile alcohol or water, as there is a possibil-

ity of the label printing disappearing.

• To write on the disc label surface, use a spirit-based felt pen. Do not 

use a ball-point pen or hard-tipped pen, because there is a danger of 
scratching the surface and corrupting the data. Do not use adhesive 
labels.

• Do not expose the disc directly to the sun's rays, or keep it in condi-

tions of high temperature or humidity, as there is a danger of warping, 
with consequent loss of data.

• To remove dirt, dust, or fingerprints from the disc, wipe with a dry 

cloth, or use a CD cleaner. Always wipe from the inside to the outside, 
and do no wipe with circular movements. Never use abrasives or sol-
vent cleaners.

• Hioki shall not be held liable for any problems with a computer system 

that arises from the use of this CD, or for any problem related to the 
purchase of a Hioki product.

Preliminary Checks

Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the 
connection cables

 

is undamaged and that no bare conductors are 

improperly exposed. Using the instrument in such conditions 
could cause an electric shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki rep-
resentative for replacements.
