Chapter 2 Before Using the Recorder
2.1 Precautions on the Use of the Recorder
Read the following precautions before using the recorder and the external storage
medium (floppy disk, zip disk, ATA flash memory card).
Handling Precautions
• Use care when cleaning the recorder, especially any plastic parts. When cleaning,
wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use chemicals such as benzene or thinner, since
these may cause discoloring and deformation.
• Keep electrically charged objects away from the instrument as this may cause
malfunction.
• Do not apply volatile chemicals to the LCD monitor or panel keys. Do not allow rubber
and vinyl products to remain in contact with the recorder for long periods of time. This
may damage the recorder.
• Do not apply shock to the recorder.
• When not in use, make sure to turn OFF the power switch.
• If there are any symptoms of trouble such as strange odors or smoke coming from the
recorder, immediately turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord. Then, contact
your nearest Omega.
CAUTION
Don’t put any weight on the recorder while it is in reclined position with its front
feet up, as it may damage the feet .
Handling Precautions of External Storage Media
• Take special care in handling external storage media as they are delicate products.
For general precautions, see the instruction manual that came with the external
storage medium.
• Floppy disks and Zip disks may not operate properly under high or low temperature
environment. If you are using the recorder in a low-temperature environment (less
than 10
°
C), let the recorder warm-up for at least 30 minutes beforehand.
• If you are using them in a high-temperature environment (greater than 40
°
C), we
recommend the external storage medium be inserted into the drive when saving the
data and be removed after the data have been saved (manual save, see section 8.4.)
• Remove the external storage medium from the drive when turning ON/OFF the
recorder.
• Do not remove the external storage medium while the access lamp is lit. Doing so
can destroy the data on the medium.
CAUTION
Don’t expose the floppy disk drive or zip drive to vibration or shocks, as it may
damage the drives.
