Konica Minolta CA-410 Instruction Manual page 6

Introduction
Power Source
• Make sure that the power is turned OFF when the instrument is not in use.
• Do not connect the AC adapter to an overloaded electrical circuit. In addition, do not cover or wrap the AC adapter with
cloth or other material while in use. Doing so may cause an electric shock or fire.
Backup Battery
• Various settings are stored in the data processor's built-in battery-powered backup memory.
• The battery takes about 20 hours to become fully charged. There is no need to worry about overcharging.
• At full charge, the backup battery can store data for up to one year. However, the backup battery may not be fully charged
when the instrument is purchased. The backup battery will charge as the instrument is being used.
• Do not attempt to replace the data processor's built-in backup battery. The battery should only be replaced by KONICA
MINOLTA. To replace the backup battery, please contact a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.
• Periodic backup of important data and settings to another storage medium is recommended.
Lens
• Before measurement, make sure that the lens surface is not dirty. You may not be able to perform correct measurement if
there is dirt, dust, or finger mark on it, or if stain remains after cleaning.
• Do not touch the lens surface with hands.
• Avoid subjecting the instrument to sudden temperature changes under a high-humidity environment. It may fog the lens
and hinder correct measurement.
Battery
• Use only the optional accessory lithium-ion battery CM-A223. Absolutely do not use any other type of battery.
• The battery is only slightly charged upon purchase and must therefore be charged.
• The battery takes about 5 hours to become fully charged. There is no need to worry about overcharging.
• The battery will self-discharge. The battery will become unusable due to over discharging if being left for a long period.
Charge it for at least one hour using the charger supplied with a data processor at least semiannually.
• After using up the battery, do not leave it uncharged.
• Charging should be performed at between 10 and 35°C. Charging will not be performed outside this temperature range.
• Excessive increases in battery temperature may temporarily interrupt charging. In such situations, wait until the battery
temperature decreases for charging to resume.
• If the lithium-ion battery will not be used for a long period, remove the battery from the instrument and store it in a
location not subject to high temperatures or high humidity.
Storing the Instrument
• This instrument should be stored at a temperature between 0 and 45°C with a relative humidity of 85% or less and no
condensation. Storing the instrument in an environment with high temperatures and high humidity will result in
unsatisfactory performance. Storing the instrument at or near room temperature and humidity is recommended.
• Make sure that the instrument is not subjected to condensation when stored. In addition, take care to prevent rapid
temperature changes to prevent condensation from occurring when transporting the instrument to the storage location.
• Storing 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 store the instrument in such
areas.
• Do not store the instrument in areas where dust, smoke, or chemical gases are present. Doing so may cause deterioration
in performance or a malfunction.
• Do not leave the instrument inside the cab or trunk of a vehicle. Otherwise, the temperature and/or humidity during
midsummer or midwinter may exceed the allowable range for storage, resulting in a malfunction.
• Before storing, make sure that the lens is attached with the cap supplied as a standard accessory.
• When not in use, store the instrument in the packing used for shipment or in the optional carrying case and keep it in a
safe place.
