SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Usage Precautions
After use
CAUTION
• This device uses a heat-sensitive printer paper. The paper degrades over time and the printed char-
acters may become illegible. If glue containing organic solvents or adhesives such as on adhesive
tape comes in contact with the printer paper, the printed characters may become illegible.
To keep the printed data for a long period of time, make copies of the printouts or write down the mea-
sured results by hand.
• When the device is not in use, turn off the power switch and place the dust cover over the device.
Dust may affect the measurement accuracy.
• Make sure that the power switch is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the power cord to
or from the power outlet.
If the power cord is connected or disconnected with the power switch on, device malfunction may occur.
• If the device is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
• Maintain the surrounding temperature and humidity in the specified ranges during transport and stor-
age of the device.

• When moving the device to another location, put it in its shipping carton or optional carrying case.
Do not use the carrying case alone when transporting the device by a shipping company. Excessive
vibration or impact to the device may cause malfunction.
• Do not carry or store the battery pack with any metal objects.
The battery pack is designed so that it is unlikely that the terminals will come into contact with each
other. However, if contact with metallic objects such as a necklace or key occurs, a short circuit may
result, causing overheating, fire, battery leakage, or malfunction.
