Notes on Use
Operating Environment
• This instrument and the AC adapter have been designed exclusively for indoor use. Outdoor use is prohibited.
• This instrument is composed of precision electronic components. Never disassemble the instrument.
• Always use the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory (AC-A312F) and connect it to a 100 to 240 V
AC outlet. Use an AC power supply of the rated voltage (within ±10%).
• This instrument is a pollution level 2 product (equipment to be used primarily in manufacturing environments,
laboratories, warehouses, and similar locations). This instrument should be used in environments where exposure to
metallic dust or condensation is not a concern.
• This instrument is an overvoltage category I product (equipment for connection to circuits in which measures are taken to
limit transient overvoltage to an appropriately low level).
• Do not use the instrument at altitudes higher than 2,000 m.
• Take care to prevent foreign matter from entering the instrument. Using the instrument while subjected to intrusion of
water or metals is extremely dangerous.
• Using the instrument in direct sunlight or near heating equipment can cause the internal temperature of the instrument
to become much higher than the ambient temperature, resulting in malfunction. Do not use the instrument in such areas.
Also, use the instrument in a well-ventilated environment.
• Avoid subjecting the instrument to sudden temperature changes and condensation.
• Do not use the instrument in areas where dust, smoke, or chemical gases are present, or in extremely humid
environments.
• This instrument should be used in an environment with an ambient temperature between 10 and 35°C and a relative
humidity of 85% or less. Use of the instrument outside this range will result in unsatisfactory performance.
System
• Do not subject the instrument to strong vibrations or impacts.
• Do not pull, forcibly bend, or apply excessive force to the connected cables and cords. Doing so may cause the cable or
cord to break.
• The instrument should be connected to a power source with as little noise as possible.
• When a malfunction or abnormal behavior occurs, turn the power OFF immediately, and disconnect the AC adapter plug
from the AC outlet.
• The instrument may cause interference if used near a television, radio, transceivers, etc.
• If the instrument is exposed to strong external static electricity, the LCD may go blank or fail to display information
correctly. Communication with a connected external device may also be interrupted. In such cases, turn the power OFF
and then ON again. If black smudges appear on the LCD, wait until they disappear naturally.
• When turning the power OFF and then ON again, wait several seconds after turning the power OFF before turning the
power ON again.
• Do not turn the power off during writing to the memory such as calibration and measurement.
• The instrument may not operate properly due to the compatibility with the equipment connected to it such as a PC.
Please check whether the instrument operates properly by yourself.
• When restarting the instrument, wait several seconds after turning the power OFF before turning the power ON again.
