Safety 

Use

 

the

 

following

 

safety

 

guidelines

 

to

 

help

 

protect

 

yourself

 

and

 

the

 

N37B

.

 

 

Do

 

not

 

attempt

 

to

 

service

 

the

 

N37B

 

yourself.

 

Always

 

follow

 

installation

 

instructions

 

closely.

 

 

Be

 

sure

 

that

 

nothing

 

rests

 

on

 

the

 

AC

 

adapter's

 

power

 

cable

 

and

 

that

 

the

 

cable

 

is

 

not

 

located

 

where

 

it

 

can

 

be

 

tripped

 

over

 

or

 

stepped

 

on.

 

 

Do

 

not

 

cover

 

the

 

AC

 

adapter

 

with

 

papers

 

or

 

other

 

items

 

that

 

will

 

reduce

 

cooling;

 

also,

 

do

 

not

 

use

 

the

 

AC

 

adapter

 

while

 

it

 

is

 

inside

 

a

 

carrying

 

case.

 

 

Use

 

only

 

the

 

AC

 

adapter,

 

power

 

cord,

 

and

 

batteries

 

that

 

are

 

approved

 

for

 

use

 

with

 

this

 

N37B

.

 

Use

 

of

 

another

 

type

 

of

 

battery

 

or

 

AC

 

adapter

 

may

 

cause

 

risk

 

of

 

fire

 

or

 

explosion.

 

 

If

 

you

 

use

 

an

 

extension

 

cable

 

with

 

the

 

AC

 

adapter,

 

ensure

 

that

 

the

 

total

 

ampere

 

rating

 

of

 

the

 

products

 

plugged

 

in

 

to

 

the

 

extension

 

cable

 

does

 

not

 

exceed

 

the

 

ampere

 

rating

 

of

 

the

 

extension

 

cable.

 

 

When

 

you

 

move

 

the

 

N37B

 

between

 

environments

 

with

 

very

 

different

 

temperature

 

and/or

 

humidity

 

ranges,

 

condensation

 

may

 

form

 

on

 

or

 

within

 

the

 

N37B

.

 

To

 

avoid

 

damaging

 

the

 

N37B

,

 

allow

 

sufficient

 

time

 

for

 

the

 

moisture

 

to

 

evaporate

 

before

 

using

 

the

 

N37B

.

 

 

When

 

you

 

disconnect

 

a

 

cable,

 

pull

 

on

 

its

 

connector

 

or

 

on

 

its

 

strain

 

relief

 

loop,

 

not

 

on

 

the

 

cable

 

itself.

 

As

 

you

 

pull

 

out

 

the

 

connector,

 

keep

 

it

 

evenly

 

aligned

 

to

 

avoid

 

bending

 

any

 

connector

 

pins.

 

Also,

 

before

 

you

 

connect

 

a

 

cable

 

make

 

sure

 

both

 

connectors

 

are

 

correctly

 

oriented

 

and

 

aligned.

 

 

Battery Safety 

 

There

 

is

 

a

 

risk

 

of

 

explosion

 

if

 

the

 

battery

 

is

by

 

an

 

incorrect

 

type.

 

 

Dispose

 

of

 

used
