Minimate Pro Operator Manual 3–1
3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Handle All Equipment and Accessories with Care
Damaged Equipment
Do not operate the equipment if it has been significantly dropped or the casing is damaged.
Immediately turn the instrument off and have an Authorized Instantel Repair Facility inspect it
for possible damage. Do not use the AC Adapter if it is damaged or not fully inserted into the
power outlet.
Use a proper AC Adapter
Use only the recommended Instantel AC Adapter. Use of alternate power sources not
recommended for this instrument may incorrectly set polarity, cause overheating and/or distortion,
fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.
Use a proper Electrical Outlet
Ensure that the AC Adapter is plugged into a properly rated power outlet. The plug of the AC
Adapter varies according to country or region.
Do not expose the Adapter or Connector to Foreign Objects
Do not allow metal objects or dirt to contact the AC Adapter terminal or the plug. Ensure that the
plug is clean prior to each use.
Keep the Minimate Pro On Charge
Always charge the battery when fewer than two graph bars appears in the display or immediately
when the Minimate Pro beeps. If possible, when not in use, keep the Minimate Pro on charge.
Instantel’s supplied charger protects the battery from overcharging.
Disconnect the Battery if Storing or Shipping the Minimate Pro
If storing for prolonged periods of time, or shipping for calibration or service, disconnect the
battery by using the Maintenance menu Disconnect Battery option – there is no requirement to
open the Minimate Pro.
Always Hold a Cable by its Connector
Do not hold the cord to pull on a connector when connecting or disconnecting it.
Never Force a Connector
Always align the connector to the port before inserting. Ensure you are attaching the Sensor or
Auxiliary to the proper connection.
Do Not Drop the Minimate Pro or Submerge it in Liquids
The Minimate Pro is rugged and designed to withstand normal wear and tear. The Minimate Pro
is water-resistant, designed to withstand temporary exposure to water immersion. Intentionally
immersing or installing the monitor in water for prolonged periods of time will damage the
monitor.
Keep Computer Disks Away from the Geophones
The geophones contain magnets that could erase the data stored on computer disks.
