Precautions

Please read and understand this section before operating your
instrument. Heed all warnings and recommendations to prevent data
loss, data inaccuracy, damage to the instrument, or injury to yourself.
Do not attach sensors to any object with a high
potential voltage i.e. a voltage that exceeds 50 V DC or
32 V AC or the 'safety extra low voltage' (SELV)
defined by your local power authority.
Ensure the cables and bootstrap cannot become
entangled with any rotating or moving machinery.
Do not bring any objects sensitive to magnetic fields
near the magnetic mounting bases (e.g. cardiac
pacemakers, credit cards, floppy disks, video tapes,
audio cassette tapes, mechanical watches).
Do not operate the instrument in an explosive
environment.
Do not detach the battery pack from the instrument for
more than 10 minutes. This will cause the instrument's
date/time to be lost. The instrument will retain all
recordings and other information.
Neck-straps must be connected to the instrument via
the 2.5 turn stainless steel rings provided. The strap
must not be connected directly to the unit as this will
defeat the 10 kg safety release provided by the rings.
Replacement rings are available from Commtest.
