potential dangers shown by each label and observe the precautions described below.
Front
a Standby switch
b Front cover
c Sample aspirating unit

This switch turns the power on/off. A separate main power switch is located on the instrument’s
rear panel. If the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, turn off the power
by pressing the standby switch, then the main power switch.
The parts inside the front cover can be contaminated by samples. Do not touch these parts
with unprotected hands. Wear protective gloves to prevent exposure to pathogenic microbes
while cleaning these parts.
The piercing nozzle is located near the label. When measurement operations start, the tip of
the nozzle descends to aspirate samples. Keep your hands off to avoid injury. Do not try to
touch the sample racks that are moving on the sampler while measurement is in progress.
Injury may result if the moving sample rack hits your hands.
The STAT port cover can be contaminated by samples. Do not touch the STAT port cover with
unprotected hands. Wear protective gloves to prevent exposure to pathogenic microbes when
handling this cover.
Rollers are located near the label. When measurement operations start, the rollers rotate the
sample tube to stir the sample. Be sure to attach the STAT port cover to the proper position
before starting measurement. Keep your hands off during measurement to avoid injury.
