TRANSPORTATION
PRECAUTIONS
• Before transporting the PLC, turn on the power to the PLC to check that the BAT LED is off.
If the PLC is transported with the BAT LED on or the battery exhausted, the battery-backed data may be unstable
during transportation.
• The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts larger than those specified in Section 3.1.
Failure to do so may cause failures in the PLC.
After transportation, verify the operations of the PLC.
