Important Safety Instruction
When utilizing your
BR-5000N
, always take basic safety precautions and warnings, in
order to avoid damage to your unit, property and/or personal injury, which may result
from misusage, exposure to fire or electric shock. Important warnings and safety
precautions are as follows:
1. To ensure accuracy of the measurement, always warm-up the instrument for at
least 15 minutes, prior to operation.
2. Never cover the unit when it is turned-on. Doing so will prevent the electrical
components from being cooled properly and cause damage.
3. Unplug the
BR-5000N
from the wall outlet prior to cleaning. Do not use organic
liquid solutions such as alcohol or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft dry cloth for
cleaning.
4. Do not directly expose your unit to water or liquid. Avoid spills, which could
damage electronic components.
5. Always use appropriate capillary tube in specification, when obtaining bilirubin’s
data or using standard solution.
6. Place this product on stable cart, stand, or table.
7. If stored in non-room temperature setting, allow the unit to reach room
temperature before turning on. Do not place this instrument in an environment
where there is severe temperature variation.
8. Place the unit away from dust, excessive moisture, or corrosive chemicals.
Cover the instrument when not in use to protect electrical components from dust.
9. Do not dismantle or modify the instrument. Damage or performance problems
resulting from disassembly or alteration of the unit, will not be covered under the
warranty. Contact your supplier when maintenance, service or repair work are
required.
10. When instrument is not in use, make sure the power switch has been turned-off
and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Do not pull the cord, but
hold the receptacle of the plug and pull it.
11. Only use light bulb, capillary tubes and power cord that come with this instrument.
Such replacement parts are available through your supplier.
12. Do not overload wall outlets with extension cords as this can result in the risk of
fire or electric shock. Attaching multiple loads to the same wall outlet is
dangerous and may cause improper operation of BR-5000N.
