Handling Precautions
Read the Safety Precautions
• Safety Precautions
If you are using this instrument for the first time, make sure to thoroughly read “Safety
Precautions” given on pages v and vi.
• Do Not Remove the Case
Do not remove the case from the instrument. Some parts of the instrument use high
voltages, which are extremely dangerous. For internal inspection and adjustment,
contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
• Unplug If Abnormal Behavior Occurs
If you notice smoke or unusual odors coming from the instrument, immediately turn
OFF the power and unplug the power cord. In addition, turn OFF the power to the
circuit under measurement that is connected to the input terminals. If these symptoms
occur, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
• Do Not Damage the Power Cord
Nothing should be placed on top of the power cord. The power cord should also be
kept away from any heat sources. When unplugging the power cord from the outlet,
never pull by the cord itself. Always hold and pull by the plug. If the power cord is
damaged, check the part number indicated on page iii and purchase a replacement.
General Handling Precautions
• Do Not Place Objects on Top of the Instrument
Never stack the instruments or place other instruments or any objects containing
water on top of the instrument. This may damage the recorder.
• Keep Electrically Charged Objects Away from the Instrument
Keep electrically charged objects away from the input terminals. They may damage
the internal circuitry.
• Do Not Damage the LCD
Since the LCD screen is very vulnerable and can be easily scratched, do not allow
any sharp objects near it. Also, do not apply vibration or shock to it.
• Unplug during Extended Non-Use
Turn OFF the power to the circuit under measurement and the instrument and remove
the power cord from the outlet.
• Carry the Instrument Properly
First, turn OFF the circuit under measurement and remove the measurement cables.
Then, turn OFF the instrument and remove power and other cables. When moving the
instrument, hold the handle on each side of the instrument as shown below.
• When Wiping off Dirt
When cleaning the case or the operation panel, first turn OFF the circuit under
measurement and the instrument and remove the instrument’s power cord from the
outlet. Do not use volatile chemicals since this might cause discoloring and
deformation.
