Safety Precautions - Minolta CR-400 Instruction Manual

To ensure correct use of this instrument, read the following points carefully and adhere to them. After
you have read this manual, keep it in a safe place where it can be referred to anytime a question arises.
WARNING
Do not use the instrument in places where
flammable or combustible gases (gasoline
etc.) are present. Doing so may cause fire.
Always use the AC adapter supplied as
a standard accessory or the optional AC
adapter, and connect it to an AC outlet
of the rated voltage and frequency. If the
AC adapters other than those specified
by MINOLTA are used, this may result
in damage to the unit, fire or electric
shock.
If the instrument will not be used for a long
time, disconnect the AC adapter from the
AC outlet. Accumulated dirt or water on
the prongs of the AC adapter's plug may
cause a fire and should be removed.
Take special care not to allow liquid or
metal objects to enter the instrument.
Doing so may cause a fire or electric
shock. Should liquid or metal objects en-
ter the instrument, turn the power OFF im-
mediately, disconnect the AC adapter from
the AC outlet, and contact the nearest
Minolta-authorized service facility.
CAUTION
Do not perform measurement which the
measurement aperture directed towards
your face. Doing so may damage them.
Do not use batteries other than those speci-
fied by MINOLTA. When installing bat-
teries in the instrument, make sure that
they are correctly oriented according to the
(+) and (-) marks. Failure to adhere to these
instructions may cause batteries to explode
or leakage of electrolytes, resulting in fire,
injury or air pollution.

serious injury.)
(Failing to adhere to the following points may result in injury
or damage to the instrument or other property.)
Do not disassemble or modify the in-
strument or the AC adapter. Doing so
may cause a fire or electric shock.
The instrument should not be operated if
it is damaged or AC adapter is damaged,
or if smoke or odd smells occur. Doing so
may result in a fire. In such situations, turn
the power OFF immediately, disconnect
the AC adapter from the AC outlet (or re-
move the batteries if they are used) and
contact the nearest Minolta-authorized ser-
vice facility.
Do not connect or disconnect the AC
adapter with wet hands. Doing so may
cause electric shock.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire, short
their terminals, apply heat to them, or
disassemble them. Also, do not recharge
them. Doing so may cause explosion or
heat generation, resulting in fire or in-
jury.
Do not place the instrument on an un-
stable or sloping surface. Doing so may
result in its dropping or overturning,
causing injury. Take care not to drop the
instrument when carrying it.
When using an AC adapter, make sure
that the AC outlet is located near the in-
strument and that the AC adapter can be
connected to and disconnected from the
AC outlet easily.
