1.2 Precautions
This product has been designed with your safety in mind, but
please pay attention to the following warnings and cautions before
use.
Cautions
The SP79 must only be used by a skilled and competent person
who is familiar with the relevant regulations, the safety risks involved
and the consequent normal safe working practices, and under the
conditions and for the purposes for which it has been constructed
and specified.
Before use check the unit for cracks or any other damage. Make
sure the unit is free from dust, grease and moisture. Do not use if
damaged.
The microphone in particular must be protected from exposure to
water or dust as dust or contamination can alter the performance
characteristics of the unit. Always replace the unit in its storage case
when not in use.
Avoid severe mechanical shock or vibration and extreme
temperature.
To avoid possible corrosion from a leaking battery, remove the
battery if discharged, or when the unit is not in use for an extended
period.
