SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To prevent personal injury, please read the operating manual carefully and
operate only as instructed by following the guidelines listed below.
1. Wear safety glasses, gloves and all other recommended safety gear
when working with refrigerants. Contact with refrigerants may cause
injury. Please see any warnings associated with refrigerants.
2. Avoid the inhalation of refrigerant. High concentrations of refrigerants are
harmful to humans and can cause serious injury.
3. Do not allow probe to come in contact with electrically charged objects
or high voltage.
4. Before each use, make sure the filter is clean. Do not allow any liquids to
enter the probe tip; doing so will damage the unit.
SAFETY HAZARD WARNINGS FOR LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
Rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are potentially hazardous and can
present a serious FIRE HAZARD if damaged, defective or improperly
used. Larger Lithium batteries and those used for industrial use involving
high discharge current and frequent full discharge cycles require special
precautions.
The LDIR150 has a built in rechargeable lithium battery, which is NOT
user replaceable, and should be charged ONLY with the provided LDIR150
charger.
A FIRE IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR DURING THE CHARGING PROCESS
UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:
• THE BATTERY HAS BEEN FULLY DISCHARGED AND IS NOT RECHARGED
SHORTLY AFTERWARD. This potential is aggravated if batteries are
damaged, contain an undetected factory defect, are used or stored at
temperature extremes, or are approaching the end of their useful life.
Ideally, batteries should be recharged within 24 hours of a full discharge.
• CHARGING IS ATTEMPTED AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 40°F (4°C) Charging
below 40°F (4°C), causes a chemical reaction in the battery cells that can
cause permanent damage and the possibility of fire or explosion during
charging.
