9-3 Preautions When Using the AC Adapter
Use the AC adapter that came with the instrument, and the
country-specific power cable that was packaged together with the AC
adapter. To use the cable and adapter, insert the power cable firmly
into the inlet on the AC adapter, and connect the output cable firmly to
the AC adapter terminal on the instrument. Also, only use these
items indoors. Use them in the same temperature range as is
required for the instrument (however, the safety standard for the AC
adapter specifies an operational temperature of 0–40°C.). Never use
an AC adapter or power cable other than the dedicated ones available
for use with this instrument, as damage can result.
9-4 Disposing of the Instrument
The sensor element of this instrument contains indium gallium
arsenide (InGaAs). InGaAs powder and vapor is hazardous.
Therefore, never incinerate, destroy, break, grind, or apply chemicals
to the instrument. Keep separate from general industrial or
household waste, and dispose of the instrument according to relevant
local laws.
10. If You Suspect a Malfunction
The following should be checked if the instrument is not functioning as
expected.
10-1 The instrument doesn’t work even though the power is ON.
1) Are the correct batteries installed?
Æ
Use only AA alkaline dry cells or nickel metal-hydride
rechargable batteries.
Æ
Check the polarity/orientation of the batteries.
2) Is one or both of the batteries spent?
Æ
Repace both batteries (at the same time).
Leakage can occur when using an old and new battery together,
and can result in damage to the instrument.)
3) Is the power cord for the AC adapter (optional) connected correctly?
4) Are you using the dedicated AC adapter that came with the
instrument?
Æ
Never use an AC adapter or power cable other than the
dedicated ones available for use with this instrument, as
damage can result.
