provided with the instrument or equivalent adapter recommended by the
manufacturer of this instrument.
•
The AC adapter has circuits with high voltage inside that could present
danger of electrical shock or fire if exposed. If the AC adapter is damaged
in any way or becomes hot, discontinue its use immediately, disconnect it
from any AC supply, and have it replaced. Do not attempt to open, repair,
or continue using a damaged or defective AC adapter.
•
The instrument batteries can present danger if not handled properly. To
avoid the risk of exposure to dangerous substances or explosion, immedi
-
ately remove the batteries and discontinue use if they leak or become
damaged. Never allow the batteries to be shorted, heated, punctured, or
dropped. If the instrument is physically damaged, immediately remove
the batteries to insure that they do not become shorted. While removed
from the instrument, store the batteries in a location so that they do not
come into contact with metal or fluids that might short circuit the batteries
and where they are safe from excessive temperatures. Used batteries must
be disposed of properly. Check your local regulations for additional infor
-
mation. Never dispose of batteries in fire which may result in explosion
with the possibility of personal injury or property damage.
• DO NOT use this instrument in combination with any probe ( PRT,
thermistor, or thermocouple) to measure the temperature or resistance of
any device where the probe might come in contact with a conductor that
is electrically energized. Severe electric shock, personal injury, or death
may occur.

Cautions
• If the instrument is dropped, struck, or handled in a way that causes inter-
nal or external physical damage, immediately unplug the AC adapter, re
-
move the batteries, discontinue use, and contact the factory for repair. Do
not attempt to disassemble or repair the instrument, batteries, or AC
adapter. Refer repairs or replacement components to the manufacturer.
•
The instrument and thermometer probes are sensitive and can be easily
damaged. Always handle these devices with care. DO NOT allow them to
be dropped, struck, stressed, or overheated.
•
Probes are fragile devices which can be damaged by mechanical shock,
overheating, and absorption of moisture or fluids in the wires or hub.
Damage may not be visibly apparent but nevertheless can cause drift, in
-
stability, and loss of accuracy. Observe the following precautions:
•
DO NOT allow probes to be dropped, struck, bent, or stressed.
•
DO NOT overheat probes beyond their recommended temperature range.
•
DO NOT allow any part of the probe other than the sheath to be im
-
mersed in fluid.
•
DO NOT allow the probe hub or wires to be exposed to excessive temper
-
atures.
