WARNING
Protective Grounding
Be sure to ground this product before supplying power. Grounding is necessary to use this product
safely, as well as to protect the user and peripheral equipment from injury or damage. Be sure to
observe the following instructions:
The AC power cable included with this product contains a ground lead. Connect the power cable into
only a 3-pin AC outlet with a ground pole.
When grounding, do not connect the grounding lead to a water pipe, as water pipes are not necessarily
conductive to the earth. Never connect the ground lead to a gas pipe either, as it is extremely
dangerous.
While the power is supplied to the product, do not cut or remove the protective grounding line.
Otherwise, safety of the product is not guaranteed.
Overvoltage Category (Installation Category)
This product's Overvoltage Category is Category II. Do not use the product with higher categories, as
connecting it to the line of a distribution board, etc. (CAT III) or the lead-in wire of a main power line
(CAT IV) may lead to device failure.
Measurement Category
The measurement input terminal Measurement Category of this product differs according to the
installed modules.
Use the product for measurement within the Measurement Category that meets the module
specifications. Do not use it with a Measurement Category that exceeds the module specifications.
Connection of Input Signals
Be sure to ground the grounding terminal of this product before connecting to the measurement target.
Also, when connecting this product to another measurement instrument, be careful not to exceed the
maximum allowable common mode input voltage range.
A voltage exceeding the range can cause damage to this product.
Use in Gaseous Atmosphere
Never use this product in a flammable or explosive atmosphere, or an atmosphere containing steam.
Use in such atmosphere will result in danger to users and the product.
Disassembling the Frame
It is dangerous to remove the frame of this product due to the high-voltage parts inside.
The frame must not be removed from the product other than by our service engineers.
Fuse at AC Power Supply Block
The fuse for this product cannot be replaced by the customer because it is located inside the main unit.
Please contact our sales representative if the fuse may be blown.
Handling of Back-up Battery (Cautions when Disposing)
This product includes a coin-type lithium battery (primary cell).
When disposing of this product, remove the battery in advance.
Do not dispose of the battery in fire or disassemble. The battery may explode when it is heated and
organic electrolyte that may exude from it is harmful to human skin. When disposing of the battery,
isolate the terminals by covering with tape and dispose the battery as a dangerous article.

This product is provided with ventilation openings in order to prevent overheating.
Ensure that the ventilation openings remain unobstructed by covers or materials. Otherwise, the
internal temperature of the product rises, causing malfunctions.
Do not place highly combustible objects such as paper near the product.
Be careful of power voltage fluctuations. Do not use the product when these are likely to exceed the
rated voltage.
If the power supply includes a lot of noise or high-voltage inductive noise, use noise filters to avoid
operation errors.

CAUTION
This product uses an electrostatic capacitive touch panel.
Press the touch panel gently with your bare fingertip. The touch screen may not react if you are
wearing gloves. Also do not use a sharp object or push with higher pressure than necessary. Pressing
three or more locations at once may cause misoperations. Be sure to press only one location when
making a selection or two locations with pinching in/pinching out.
LCD display
This product has a TFT color LCD for display. There may be cases where the light of pixels does not
come on or off in the LCD. In addition, the LCD includes unevenness slightly due to temperature
changes. Please be aware that these cases are not disorders.
Use the chart recording paper specified by A&D. Use of a chart that is not recommended may cause
failure in printing or shorten the life of the thermal head.
Recording straight line waveforms or waveforms in solid black in the same position for an extended
period of time may shorten the life of the elements in that part of the thermal head. It is recommended
that the waveform recording position is occasionally changed.
Printing a waveform in solid black for an extended period of time causes printing waste of the recording
paper to remain in the thermal head, and may prevent printing. Periodically clean the thermal head.
When storing the product for an extended period of time, the recording paper feeding platen may
become deformed if the printer cover is locked and cause printing irregularities, but this does not
indicate product failure.
When storing recording paper for an extended period of time before recording, remove the recording
paper from the main unit and insert it in a plastic bag, or as-is if it is still in its original packaging, and
then store it in a dark location with a temperature of 25°C or less and humidity of 70% RH or less.
When storing recording paper for an extended period of time after recording, file it in a dark location
with a temperature of 25°C or less and humidity of 70% RH or less. When using a file folder, make sure
that it is made of a material that does not include plasticizer (such as polyethylene or polypropylene).
If the recording paper touches the following materials or products, the printing surface may change
color, lose color, or exhibit otherwise poor color performance.
Vinyl chloride products, organic compounds, adhesive tape, pencil eraser, rubber mats, magic
markers, felt-tip pens, correction fluid, carbon, diazo photosensitive paper, hand cream, hairdressing
products, cosmetic products, or leather products such as a wallet
Do not insert a pointed or sharp object into the ventilation openings of this product.
To clean this product, first turn off the power, place it in a well-ventilated location, and wipe the product
using soft cloth moistened with ethanol. Do not use benzene, petroleum solvents, or chemically treated
cloths, as they can cause deformation or discoloration.
When transporting the product, use the package and packaging material supplied at factory shipment,
or use a package and packaging material more shock-resistant than those supplied.
We recommend a periodical calibration to maintain the accuracy of the input units. More reliable
measurements are possible by calibrating the input units once a year (extra cost option).

1.2. Display Block
This product has a TFT color LCD display with touch panel.
The LCD displays the waveform monitor and setup keys, and users can configure setup by directly
touching the panel.
Waveform monitor Side menu
Scroll the waveform
Tap the screen
to set
Pinch in (reduce)/pinch out (expand) the waveform
Control Bar
Waveform monitor: You can observe the state of the input signal and play back the recorded data on
the waveform monitor. Pinch in/out to enlarge or reduce the waveform or scroll the
waveform.
Side menu: Used to switch the display screen, configure the various input modules, configure
the recording conditions, configure recording, set triggers, and display digital data,
etc.
Control bar: The control bar provides a menu for the functions frequently used with the
waveform monitor, such as the basic control of sampling, etc., thumbnail display,
cursor display, and the pen recorder function.
NOTE
The pen recorder control function enables waveform recording to a printer using operations that
simulate a conventional pen recorder.
This product uses an electrostatic capacitive touch panel. The touch screen may not react if you are
wearing gloves.
