    1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION General Warnings Using the instrument near areas that contain high levels of dust, ash, combustible materials or in poorly ventilated areas may result in damage due to explosions. Do not attempt to service or repair instrument without proper training. Fire, shock or severe burns might occur due to disassembly or improper assembly.
  • Page 7 Power supply Do not use voltage other than the specified power supply voltage. Additionally do not use damaged power cords, plugs or loose outlets. Fire or electrical shock could result. Do not use third party cords or chargers as fire or instrument damage may occur.

  • Page 8: 2．Precautions

    2．PRECAUTIONS Precautions concerning water and dust resistance Do not put the instrument in the water. The instrument conforms to IPX4, so the normal rain can not damage to the instrument, but improper use near water can severely damage the instrument resulting in costly repairs. Ensure that the battery is properly mounted and locked in the instrument.
