5.1 Inspection, Repair, and Cleaning
Do not attempt to modify, disassemble or repair the instrument; as fire, electric shock
and injury could result.
Transporting
Observe the following precautions to avoid damaging the instrument:
• Use the original packing materials when transporting the instrument, if possible.
• When sending the instrument for repair, remove the batteries and pack carefully to pre-
vent damage in transit. Include cushioning material so the instrument cannot move within
the package. Be sure to include details of the problem. Hioki cannot be responsible for
damage that occurs during shipment.
• Remove pens and recording paper when transporting the instrument. Failure to do so
may damage the hardware in the instrument that accommodates the pens and recording
paper due to vibrations. Be sure to cap the pens.
Storing the Instrument
• To avoid corrosion and damage to this instrument from battery leakage, remove the bat-
teries from the instrument if it is to be stored for a long time (for a month). For more infor-
mation about batteries, see "2.4 Connecting the Power Source (Alkaline Batteries or AC
Adapter)" (p. 17).
• Cap pens after use. Leaving pens uncapped may cause their tips to dry out, making it
impossible to record waveforms. When not being used, pens should be stored at room
temperature, avoiding high heat and humidity. For more information about storing pens,
see "2.3 Installing the Pens" (p. 16).
• Do not leave the front cover detached or open. Doing so could allow dust to enter the
instrument, resulting in damage to the instrument. If the instrument will not be used for an
extended period, put the drip-proof vinyl cover on the instrument to prevent dust from
entering.
