Operating Precautions
Handling the cords, xtures, and probes
WARNING
If the insulation on a cord melts, the metal conductor may be exposed. Do not use
any cord whose metal conductor is exposed. Doing so could result in electric shock,
burns, or other hazard.
CAUTION
• To avoid breaking the cords or probes, do not bend or pull them.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cords, which could damage the cord insulation.
• Keep in mind that, in some cases, conductors to be measured may be hot.
•
To avoid damage to the instrument, do not short-circuit the measurement terminals
and do not input voltage to the measurement terminals.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power cord when the instrument is not used.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging it
from the power outlet.
• To prevent damage to the BNC connector or junction, be sure to release the locking
mechanism, grip the head of the connector (not the cord), and pull it out.
• Put the protective cap back on the connector when not in use. If the protective cap is
not properly inserted, dust or other foreign matter may enter the connector and cause
damage.
IMPORTANT
Use only the specied connection cords. Using a non-specied cable may result in incorrect
measurements due to poor connection or other reasons.
Before using a xture or the like, read the instruction manual supplied with the product to
be used.
Before Using the USB Flash Drive
CAUTION
•
Do not transport the instrument while a USB ash drive is connected. Damage could result.
• Inserting a USB ash drive upside down, backwards or in the wrong direction may
damage the USB ash drive and/or the instrument.
•
Some USB ash drives are susceptible to static electricity. Exercise care when using such
products because static electricity could damage the USB ash drive or cause malfunc-
tion of the instrument.
IMPORTANT
• USB ash drives have a limited usable lifetime. After long-term use, data reading and writing
will fail, at which time the USB ash drives must be replaced.
• When a USB ash drive is accessed, the color of the USB icon changes from blue to red. Do
not turn off the power of the instrument while the USB ash drive is being accessed. Also,
never remove the USB ash drive from the instrument. Doing so may result in the data in the
USB ash drive being lost.
• Hioki cannot recover data from damaged or faulty storage media resulting from abnormalities. We
are also unable to provide compensation for such data loss,regardless of the contents or cause
of the failure or damage. We recommend making a backup of all important data on a computer or
other storage devices..
