Handling Precautions
Failure to comply with the precautions below could lead to damage to the instrument, injury, or death.
WARNING
Prohibitions against Actions That Cause Leaking, Heating, Ignition, and Explosion
• Do not charge the battery pack or leave it in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight,
such as on a car dashboard or by a window, or in a location that is subject to high
temperatures, such as in a car parked under the scorching sun.
• Do not throw the battery pack into fire or heat it.
• Do not expose the battery pack to strong mechanical shock.
• Do not allow the battery pack to be covered in water or other liquids.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack.
• Do not short the positive and negative battery pack terminals. Also, do not move the battery
or store it with metal items such as necklaces, hair pins, coins, or keys.
• Do not place combustible material on top of the battery pack or cover it with anything other
than its case while it is providing electricity or being charged.
• Leakage from the battery pack can cause blindness if it comes into contact with your eyes.
If you get leakage from the battery in your eyes, do not rub them; clean them thoroughly
with clean water and then see a doctor immediately.
• Do not use or charge battery packs with the AQ1200 that are not made by YOKOGAWA.
• When you attach the battery pack to the AQ1200, attach it properly.
Prohibitions against Careless Use
• Keep the battery pack away from infants so that they do not lick it, put it in their mouths,
bite it, or do other dangerous things with it.
• Leakage from the battery pack may cause damage to clothing and skin.
Prohibition against Use under Abnormal Conditions
If you notice that the battery pack is leaking, smells strange, is becoming hot, has changed
color or shape, or exhibits some other abnormality, stop charging or using it, and turn off the
power. If the battery pack is leaking, move it away from sources of fire.
Changing the Battery Pack
• To prevent electric shock, turn the AQ1200 off, and disconnect the AC adapter power
supply from it.
• When you remove the battery pack cover, do not do so with the back of the AQ1200 facing
down. Also, after you attach the battery pack, be sure to close the battery cover completely.
Otherwise, the battery pack may fall out and cause injury or be damaged.
CAUTION
Replacement Procedure
• Do not touch the battery pack electrodes. Doing so may damage the battery pack.
• When you put the battery pack in the battery case, make sure that the battery pack is
facing the right direction.
• When you place the AQ1200 so that its LCD is facing down, be careful not to damage the
LCD.
