Proper care of the reader
•
Keep the sampler compartment door closed when the reader is not in use.
• The reader uses a highly sensitive photo detector and should be protected from
direct sunlight. Do not place the reader in direct sunlight when the sampler door
is open, or store in sunlight, where it can be exposed to a rapid increase in
temperature.
• Work with clean hands when using the reader.
• Avoid contact with liquids on the outside or inside of the unit. Immediately wipe
off any liquids to prevent electrical shorting or contamination.
• Be sure the outer surface of the sampler cartridge is clean and dry before inserting
it in the unit. Do not insert the sampler in the unit without its cartridge.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the reader. There are no user-serviceable parts.
• Use the supplied line power cord for charging. The use of any other power supply
may damage the unit and invalidate the warranty. The power supply is capable of
using AC voltage of 110 or 240 VAC.
• The power supply is for indoor use only.
