II. Safety Warnings and Precautions
The warnings and precautions stated below are for the correct and safe operation of the instrument. Please
heed all information for your safety. Bioneer Corporation does not assume responsibility for non-compliance
with the safety warnings and precautions stated below.
1. User and experimental precautions
1)
Make sure that the power supply (100-240V, ~50/60Hz) is correctly connected to the power adapter
and that the power adapter is correctly connected to the instrument. Incorrect connection of the
power adapter and power supply can result in instrument damage or failure to turn on.
2)
This instrument is intended for nucleic acid extraction. Please use as such.
3)
The instrument may stop if the LCD panel is touched while connected to a PC via LAN cable. If
operating the instrument via PC software, please allow for the instrument to finish its programmed
movement before operating the LCD panel.
4)
Do not turn the PC off or disconnect the LAN cable connecting the PC to the instrument. Data
communication error can result in instrument malfunction and can affect the results of your
experiment.
5)
Please install the instrument on a flat surface.
6)
Do not operate the instrument with wet hands as this may result in shock or instrument malfunction.
Please touch the power adapter cord with dry hands.
7)
If the instrument is stopped either from operator error including improper accessory insertion or
manually halting the instrument during normal operation, you must re-initialize the instrument before
pulling out the Base Plate. Pulling out the Base Plate without prior initialization can lead to
instrument damage from movement interferences including a raised Heating Block or other
accessories stopped in motion. If Buffer Cartridges are inserted into the Base Plate, please
reinitialize the instrument or pull out the Buffer Cartridges to make sure the Heating Block is not in
the way of normal Base Plate movement.
8)
Avoid placing objects in the front and rear of the instrument, as fan blockage may cause lowered
efficiency of the Cooling Block.
9)
Be careful not to have any obstructions or foreign materials introduced into the front-lower side
Cooling Fan mesh. Foreign objects can hinder normal Cooling Fan operation and may lead to
overheating of parts or cause a fire.
2. Precautions regarding the operation environment
1)
If the power plug is loose, do not use the instrument. Plug overheating may result in shock or fire.
2)
Do not operate multiple instruments out of a single wall outlet. The load may cause overheating and
may lead to fire.
3)
When plugging or unplugging the power adapter cord from a wall outlet, make sure your hands are
