Safety Precautions

To ensure correct use of this instrument, read the following points carefully and adhere to them.
After you have read this manual, keep it in a safe place where it can be referred to anytime a question arises.
WARNING
(Failure to adhere to the following points may result
in death or serious injury.)
Do not use the instrument in places where fl ammable or combustible gases
(gasoline, etc.) are present. Doing so may cause a fi re.
Always use KONICA MINOLTA's optional accessory AC adapter (AC-A308) or
USB bus power AC adapter (AC-A305J,K,L,M) connected to an AC outlet of the
rated voltage and frequency 100-240 VAC (50/60 Hz). If an AC adapter other than
those specifi ed by KONICA MINOLTA is used, or if the adapter is connected to an
unsupported voltage, it may result in damage to the adapter, fi re, or electric shock.
If the instrument will not be used for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter
power plug from the AC outlet. Accumulated dirt or water on the prongs of
the AC adapter's plug may cause a fi re and should be removed. Clean off
any dirt or water on the prongs of the AC adapter's plug before use.
Do not insert or disconnect the AC adapter with wet hands. Doing so may
cause electric shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the instrument or the AC adapter. Doing so
may cause a fi re or electric shock.
The instrument should not be operated if it is or the AC adapter is damaged, or if smoke or odd
smells occur. Doing so may cause a fi re. In such situations, turn the power OFF immediately,
disconnect the AC adapter power plug from the AC outlet (or remove the batteries if using
battery power) and contact the nearest KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.
Take special care not to allow liquid or metal objects to enter the instrumentor the AC adapter.
Doing so may cause a fi re. Should liquid or metal objects enter the instrument, turn the power OFF
immediately, disconnect the AC adapter power plug from the AC outlet (or remove the batteries if
using battery power) and contact the nearest KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.
Do not forcibly bend, twist or pull the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on, or damage or
modify the power cord. Doing so may damage the power cord and cause fi re or electric shock.
Always disconnect the power cord by holding the power plug. Pulling the
power cord itself may damage it and cause fi re or electric shock.
Firmly push the AC adapter power plug completely into the outlet. If the
power plug is not pushed completely in, it may cause a fi re or electric shock.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fi re or charge, short-circuit, heat, or disassemble the
batteries. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or leak, which could result in fi re or injury.
In the event that a battery leaks and the fl uid comes into contact with your eye, do not rub your eye and wash
it with clean water, and then immediately consult a doctor. If the leaked fl uid comes into contact with skin or
clothing, immediately rinse with water. In addition, stop using the instrument if one of its batteries has leaked.
Use a dedicated charger (of the specifi ed type, model, etc.) to charge nickel-
metal hydride batteries. If charging conditions or a charger different from that
specifi ed is used for charging, the battery may leak, overheat, or catch fi re.
Correctly dispose of batteries used in the instrument. Batteries incorrectly disposed of may
short-circuit, overheat, and catch fi re. This may lead to fi re, injury, or burns. Battery disposal
methods vary depending on each municipality. Adhere to municipal instructions when
disposing of batteries, or give the batteries to your contracted waste disposal contractor.
Do not touch the batteries with wet hands. Doing so may result in electric
shock or a malfunction.
Do not look directly at the lamp. The lamp is extremely bright and emits
ultraviolet rays. Doing so may injure the eyes.
CAUTION
(Failure to adhere to the following points may result in
injury or damage to the instrument or other property.)
When using the AC adapter, provide an environment such that there is an outlet near the
instrument and the power plug of the AC adapter can be easily plugged or unplugged.
Take care not to pinch yourself on the areas of the instrument that open and
close. Doing so may result in injury.
Do not use any batteries other than those specifi ed for the instrument. Do not
use a new battery and an old battery or batteries of different types together.
When loading the batteries into the instrument, ensure they are oriented
according to the polarity indication (positive + and negative -) on the instrument.
Otherwise, the batteries may break or leak, resulting in a fi re or injury, or
contamination of the area.
Do not use the instrument if the sample surface aperture (measurement area)
is in the line of sight. Doing so may result in injury to the eye.
Take suffi cient care when handling the target mask. The sample surface
aperture glass may become cracked, resulting in injury.
When cleaning the instrument, unplug the AC adapter power plug from the
outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
