WM-3004-HD HD LCD WAVEFORM MONITOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL INTRODUCTION Thank you very much for purchasing this model WM-3004 HD LCD waveform monitor. This manual contains details on the operation procedures to be followed when the WM-3004 is used, the checkpoints and precautions to be observed, and so on. Improper handling may result in malfunctioning. Before using the WM-3004, please read through these instructions to ensure that you will operate the monitor correctly.
WM-3004-HD HD LCD WAVEFORM MONITOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING Concerning the monitor Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks or throw it around. Doing so may cause the liquid crystal to leak and/or the monitor to malfunction, rupture, generate heat and cause a fire. Do not use the monitor wherever there is a risk of ignition or explosions. Do not place the monitor inside a microwave oven or other heating or cooking appliance or pressure vessel.
WM-3004-HD HD LCD WAVEFORM MONITOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAUTION Concerning the power supply Use a supply voltage within the range of 10V-18V DC for the monitor. Do not turn the power back on immediately after having turned it off. malfunctioning. Doing so can cause Concerning the liquid crystal Due to the nature of liquid crystal, some picture elements may be missing (bright spots, dark spots, etc.) at times. Do not touch any liquid crystal which has leaked from the liquid crystal panel.
