Safety Manual

l
Properly dispose of the product and batteries in accordance to
the local and national regulations. For more information, see Dis-
posal on page6.
l
Do not use the FOCUS Premium and FOCUS Core and its
accessories in an explosive environment. Do not operate the
instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Oper-
ation of any electrical instrument in such an environment con-
stitutes a safety hazard.
l
Do not use the FOCUS Premium and FOCUS Core in the vicin-
ity of strong magnetic or electrical fields.
l
Before operating the FOCUS Premium and FOCUS Core and its
accessories in hazardous areas, contact the local safety author-
ities and safety experts.
l
For outdoor use, use the PowerBlock battery as the power sup-
ply, ensuring that the device is protected from rain or spray
water. Use the scanner in a non-condensing environment.
CAUTION: When the product is transferred from a cold to a sig-
nificantly-warmer environment, water may condense on some ele-
ments inside the scanner. To avoid this, place the scanner in an
airtight plastic bag before transfer. This allows the condensation to
form on the bag rather than inside the scanner. If you cannot pack
the scanner in an airtight manner, wait until observable con-
densation water evaporates from the scanner before switching the
FOCUS Premium and FOCUS Core on.
DANGER: Do not operate the scanner while the external power sup-
ply is plugged in. The power cable might damage the turning scan-
ner.

points or cause short circuits. This could result in a fire, electric
shock, or damage to the product.
NOTICE: This device is not intended for use in residential envir-
onments, and it cannot ensure a suitable degree of protection of
radio reception in such environments.
l
This product should be operated only from the power source or a
battery supplied or recommended by FARO. Ensure that the spe-
cifications of the AC converter are met. If you do not know the
power-line voltage in your area, consult your local power com-
pany.
l
To avoid electrical shock, use the power-supply unit in dry
indoor environments only.

l
Do not use wet or dirty batteries in the FOCUS Premium and
FOCUS Core or with the charger.
l
Charge between 0°C and +45°C (+32°F and +113°F) envir-
onmental temperature. Recommended charging temperatures:
+10°C to +30°C (50°F to +86°F).
l
Discharge between -10°C and +55°C (14°F and +131°F)
environmental temperature. Recommended operating tem-
peratures: +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F).

environments only.
l
When the FOCUS Premium and FOCUS Core is not in use for
long periods of time, remove the battery.
l
Store the battery only when it is charged at about 30% of a full
charge. We recommend charging the battery to 30% once a year
while it is in long-term storage.
l
Storage temperatures when at 30% charge are:
1 month: -20°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F)
3 months: -20°C to 45°C (14°F to 113°F)
1 year: -20°C to 25°C (14°F to 77°F)
l
Storage humidity range is 0% to 80%. Store in a well-ventilated
area. Do not store with metal objects. A short circuit can cause a
fire.
l
Do not bring metal objects into contact with the batteries' ter-
minals. The terminals may short-circuit and generate heat.
l
Do not immerse batteries into water or fire (danger of explo-
sion).
l
Dispose of batteries in accordance with environmental reg-
ulations. Contact your local waste disposal management author-
ity for guidelines concerning lithium-ion batteries.
