GUIDELINES FOR SAFE OPERATION
To ensure safe operation, please carefully read the following warnings and cautions prior to using the
PIX-25 Electronic time recorder/stamp.
Warning
Do not disassemble the unit. There is a high voltage present inside, possibly leading to an
electric shock.
Do not modify the unit. Modifications may cause a fire and/or electric shock.
If any anomaly occurs, for example, heat or smoke is generated or an odor is emitted,
unplug the unit immediately and contact your dealer for servicing. There is a danger that
further use may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not use any voltage of the power source other than designated.
Do not share a single outlet with another plug. These may lead to fire or shock hazards.
Do not damage, break, or modify the power cord. Do not put a heavy object on, pull, or
forcefully bend the cord, either. These may damage the cord, possibly resulting in a fire or
electric shock.
If foreign matter should get in the unit (including a piece of metal, water, or liquid),
disconnect the plug from the outlet immediately and contact your dealer for servicing.
There is a danger that further use may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not plug or unplug the unit with a wet hand. You may get an electric shock.
Caution
Do not place the unit on an uneven or tilted surface. This may result in injuries due to the
unit
dropping or falling off.
Do not put a water-filled container or a metal object on top of the unit. If water is spilled or
the
metallic object slips inside, a fire or shock hazard may occur.
Do not install the unit in a humid or dusty environment. It may cause a fire or electric
shock.
Do not place the unit near kitchen counter or humidifier. Oil, smoke, or steam generating
from
them may cause fire or shock hazards.
Do not yank the power cord to disconnect from the outlet. Hold the plug with your hand to
do
so, or the cord may be damaged, possibly leading to a fire or electric shock.
Remove the line cord plug from the outlet before transferring the unit, or it may damage
the cord, possibly leading to a fire or electric shock.
Be careful not to contact the print head, as you may get hurt or burned.
Make sure to insert the power plug as far as it will go. Improper insertion of the plug may
develop fire or shock hazards.
Do not insert or drop any other time card than specified into the slot. Such misuse may
cause a fire or electric shock.
If the unit should be dropped or the case is broken, unplug the unit and contact your dealer
for servicing. Further use may lead to a fire or shock hazard.

If the DLS feature is enabled and the user sets the same start/end dates,
the clock will not change its time on the start/end date.
The following steps change the begin date for Daylight Saving. Updating the
beginning date for Daylight Saving needs to be done just one time, since the
clock’s rolling calendar function will auto-calculate the beginning date for
each year thereafter. To change the end date for Daylight Saving, refer to
