1. Indoor use only
2. ≦ 95% RH
3. 75 kPa – 106 kPa
4. Altitude must not exceed 2000 meters
5. Ambient to 40℃ operating temperature

Electrical Shock Precaution
Follow the guidelines below to ensure safe operation of the unit.
The Winpact Shaking Incubator has been designed for use with shielded wires thus minimizing any
potential shock hazard to the user. Major Science recommends against the use of unshielded wires.
1. Dry out for a period of time and restore the instrument to NORMAL CONDITION before
operation.
2. NEVER connect or disconnect wires leading from the power jacks when the red indicator light
on the "ON/OFF" key is on or when the device is running.
3. Wait at least 5 seconds after stopping a run before handling output leads or connected
apparatus.
4. ALWAYS make sure that user's hands, work area, and instruments are clean and dry before
connecting any cables or operating the device.
5. ONLY connect the power cord to a properly grounded AC outlet.
Preventive Measures of Damaging Instrument
1. Do not attempt to operate the device if damaged.
2. Protect this unit from physical damage, corrosive agents and extreme temperatures (direct
sunlight etc.).
3. For proper ventilation, leave at least 10 cm of space behind the instrument, and at least
5cm of space on each side.
4. Do not operate the instrument in high humidity environments (> 95%), or where
condensation may occur.
5. Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those recommended by the
manufacturer, user should check with the manufacturer that the proposed method will not
damage the equipment.
