Precautions for Safe Use
4
• When disposing of batteries, comply with all local ordinances that apply to
disposal.
• Do not connect a USB connector to any device that is not applicable.
• Before connecting a USB connector to a device, check the external
appearance of the device and make sure that the device is free from dam-
age.
• When mounting the battery, be sure to use the correct battery and mount
it correctly.
• Dispose of the product and batteries according to local ordi-
nances as they apply. Have qualified specialists properly dis-
pose of used batteries as industrial waste.
• The backlight in the PT contains mercury. Do not dispose of the PT
together with other waste to be sent to a disposal site. Dispose of the PT
according to local ordinances as they apply.
• Do not turn OFF the power supply to the PT while downloading or upload-
ing screen data or system programming. The screen data and system
programming may become corrupted.
• Secure the PT’s cable at the control panel when connecting it to the con-
trol panel.
• Be sure not to trip over the cable when moving around while holding the
PT.
• When using the NSH5, use the lefthand belt or use a commercially avail-
able neck strap. If the NSH5 falls, injury or device damage may occur.
• Periodically inspect for loose cables or other cable problems.
• Confirm the safety of the system before turning ON or OFF the power
supply or before pressing the reset button.
• After changing the settings of the DIP switch, always turn the power sup-
ply OFF and ON or reset the PT.
• Do not operate a touch switch using a screwdriver or other tool.
• To ensure safety when using numeral input functions, set the upper and
lower limits for the input value.
• Dispose of any battery that has been dropped on the floor or otherwise
subjected to excessive shock. The battery may leak if it is used.
• Commercially available USB hubs and the recommended USB hub do not
necessarily have the same general specifications as the NSH5, and may
not function properly if used in environments subject to static electricity or
other forms of noise. When using a USB hub, take sufficient measures to
prevent static electricity and other forms of noise, or do not install the PT
in an environment subject to such noise.
• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
• The backlight in the PT cannot be replaced by the user. Contact your
OMRON representative for backlight replacement.
• Periodically check the installation conditions in applications where the PT
is subject to contact with oil or water.
