Safety and Equipment Protection
WARNINGELECTRICAL POWER CAN RESULT IN
PERSONNEL INJURY/DEATH OR CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
If the instrument is driven by an external power source,
disconnect the instrument from its power source before
attempting any repairs. WARNING BATTERIES ARE
DANGEROUS. IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY, THEY CAN
RESULT IN PERSONNEL INJURY/ DEATH OR CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
Batteries can be hazardous when misused, mishandled,
or disposed of improperly. They may explode or omit
poisonous substances. Batteries contain potential
energy, even when partially discharged,
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN RESULT IN PERSONNEL
INJURY OR DEATH.
Use extreme caution when handling cables, connectors,
or terminals; they may yield hazardous currents if
inadvertently brought into contact with conductive
materials, including water and the human body.
CAUTION
Be aware of protective measures against environmentally
caused electric-current surges.
In addition to the previous warnings and cautions, the
following safety activities should be carefully observed.
Children- Adolescents
NEVER give batteries to young people who may not be
aware of the hazards associated with batteries and their
improper
Jewelry. Watches, Metal Tags
To avoid severe burns, NEVER wear rings, necklaces,
metal watch bands, bracelets, or metal identification tags
near exposed battery terminals.
Heat, Fire
NEVER dispose of batteries in fire or locate them in
excessively heated spaces. Observe the temperature
limit listed in the Instrument specifications.
Charging
NEVER charge 'dry' cells or lithium batteries that are not
designed to be charged.
NEVER charge rechargeable batteries at currents higher
than recommended ratings.
NEVER recharge a frozen battery. Thaw it completely at
room temperature before connecting charger.
Unvented Container
NEVER store or charge batteries in a gas-tight container.
Doing so may lead to pressure buildup and explosive
concentrations of hydrogen.
Short Circuits
NEVER short circuit batteries. High current flow may
cause internal battery heating and/or explosion.
Damaged Batteries
Personnel injury may result from contact with hazardous
materials from a damaged or open battery. NEVER
attempt to open a battery enclosure. Wear appropriate
protective clothing, and handle damaged batteries
carefully.
Disposal
ALWAYS dispose of batteries in a responsible manner.
Observe all applicable federal, state, and local regulations
for disposal of the specific type of battery involved.
