0. Precaution
Observe the following safety precautions
:
Do not disassemble the indicator
.
Indicator must be grounded to minimize electricity static.
This will minimize
defect or electric shock.
Do not pull the plug by its cord when unplugging. Damaged cord could
cause electric shock or fire.
Do not place or use the indicator near flammable or corrosive gas
.
To reduce electric shock or incorrect reading, do not spill water on the
scale or place it in humid condition
.
Avoid placing the indicator near heater or direct sunlight
.
Insert plug firmly to wall outlet to prevent electric shock.
For consistent and accurate reading, maintain periodical check by
your CAS authorized dealer.
Avoid sudden shock to the indicator. Internal mechanism could be
damaged
.
Place the indicator on firm and temperature consistent environment
.
Keep the indicator away from other electromagnetic generating devices.
This may interfere with accurate reading
.
