If you notice smoke or unusual odors coming from the instrument, immediately turn off the power, remove the batteries if possible, and

General Handling Precautions
Do Not Place Objects on Top of the Instrument
Never place objects such as other instruments or objects that contain water on top of the instrument. Doing so may damage the
instrument.
Do Not Subject the Inputs and Outputs to Mechanical Shock
If the I/O connectors or adapters are subjected to mechanical shock, they may be damaged. The instrument may not perform
measurements correctly due to damage or deformation that is not visible to the naked eye.
Do Not Scratch the LCD
Because the LCD can be easily scratched, do not allow any sharp objects near it. Also, do not apply vibration or shock to it. Furthermore,
do not apply strong shock to the LCD or place objects on top of it.
Remove the Batteries during Extended Non-Use
Remove the batteries from the main unit. Remove the AC adapter power cord from the outlet.
When Carrying the Instrument
Remove the power cord and connecting cables.
When Cleaning the Instrument
When cleaning the case or the operation panel, gently wipe the outer surface using a damp, well-wrung, soft, clean cloth. The instrument
can malfunction if water enters inside the instrument.
Do not use chemicals such as benzene or thinner. Doing so may cause discoloring and deformation.
