WARNING

(Failure to adhere to the following points may result in death or serious 
injury.)

Do not use the instrument in places 

where flammable or combustible 

gases (gasoline fumes etc.) are 

present. Doing so may cause a fire.

Do not disassemble or modify the 

instrument or the AC adapter. Doing so 

may cause a fire or electric shock.

Always use the AC adapter supplied as 

a optional accessory, and connect it to 

an AC outlet of the rated voltage and 

frequency. Using a non-specified AC 

adapter or connecting it to an incorrect AC 

outlet may damage the instrument or AC 

adapter, causing a fire or electric shock.

The instrument should not be operated if 

it is damaged or AC adapter is damaged, 

or if smoke or odd smells occur.

Doing so may result in a fire. In 

such situations, turn the power OFF 

immediately, remove the batteries (or 

disconnect the AC adapter from the AC 

outlet), and contact the nearest Konica 

Minolta-authorized service facility.

If the instrument will not be used for a long 

time, disconnect the AC adapter from the 

AC outlet. Accumulated dirt or water on the 

prongs of the AC power cord’s plug may 

cause a fire and should be removed.

Do not put the batteries on a fire,

charge them (if they are not chargeable), 

short-circuit them, heat them or disassemble 

them. Doing so may cause an explosion or 

heat generation, resulting in fire or injury. 

Take special care not to allow liquid or metal 

objects to enter the instrument. Doing so 

may cause a fire or electric shock. Should 

liquid or metal objects enter the instrument, 

turn the power OFF immediately, remove 

the batteries (or disconnect the AC adapter 

from the AC outlet), and contact the nearest 

Konica Minolta-authorized service facility.

Should liquid leak from batteries and contact 

to eye, wash liquid off with clean water without 

rubbing eyes and immediately seek for 

medical professional’s advice. In case liquid 

contacts with hand or clothes, wipe it off with 

plenty of water. Avoid further use of such unit. 

Do not forcibly bend, twist or pull the 

power cord. Do not place heavy objects 

on, or damage or modify the power 

cord. Doing so may damage the power 

cord and cause fire or electric shock.

Dispose of batteries used in the instrument 

correctly. Disposing of batteries incorrectly 

may result in heat generation or cause 

batteries to catch fire due to short circuiting. 

This may result in a fire, injury, or burns. 

Disposal methods for batteries may vary 

according to where you live. Dispose of 

batteries in accordance with local regulations 

or through a registered waste disposal agency.

Always disconnect the power cord by 

holding the power plug. Pulling the power 

cord itself may damage it and cause fire or 

electric shock. Do not insert or disconnect 

the power cord plug with wet hands. 

Doing so may cause electric shock.
Insert the power plug fully and securely.  

ncomplete inserting may cause 

fire or electric shock.

Do not touch or hold the batteries 

with wet hands. Doing so may 

cause electric shock or failure. 

WARNING

(Falling to adhere to the following points may result in injury or damage to 
the instrument or other property.)

Do not use batteries other than those specified by KONICA MINOLTA. When installing batteries in 

the instrument, make sure that they are correctly oriented according to the (+) and (-) marks. Also 

make sure not to mix new and old batteries, or mix batteries of different types. Failure to adhere to 

these instructions may cause batteries to explode or leakage of electrolyte, resulting in fire, injury or 

air pollution.
The socket-outlet shall be installed 

near the machine and shall be easily 

accessible.

When  cleaning,  disconnect  the  power 

plug.  Connecting  may  cause  electric 

shock.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To ensure correct use of this instrument, read the following points carefully and adhere to them. After you 

have read this manual, keep it in a safe place where it can be referred to anytime a question arises.
