1. Insert batteries into your device properly, with the (+) and (-) terminals aligned correctly.
2. Discharged batteries should be removed from equipment to prevent possible damage.
3. Store the batteries in a cool and dry place. [Batteries should be stored at temperatures between 50°F (10°C) and 77°F
(25°C), with relative humidity not exceeding 65 percent. Refrigeration of alkaline batteries is not necessary because
of their very good capacity retention. Excessive temperature cycling and storage at temperatures greater than 77°F
(25°C) should be avoided to maximize shelf life.]
4. Remove batteries from the electrical device if the device is not going to be used for a long time.
5. Keep battery contact surfaces and battery compartment contacts clean by rubbing them with a clean pencil eraser or
a rough cloth each time you replace batteries.
6. Keep batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a physician at once.
7. Don't recharge a battery unless it is specifically marked "rechargeable". Attempts to recharge an alkaline battery
may cause an imbalance within the cell, leading to gassing and possibly explosion on either charge or discharge
cycles.
8. Don't dispose of batteries in a fire—they may rupture or leak.
9. Don't carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse with metal objects like coins, paper clips, etc. This will short-circuit
the battery, generating high heat.

4. Low Battery Detect
When MSR120 is connected/disconnected to external power adapter by the WAS-T0017 RS232 cable or USB port by
the WAS-1571 USB cable,, it would be turned On/Off automatically. When the unit is connected with the PC through the
communication Cable (WAS-T0017 or WAS-1571) and the PC is running MSR120 software and then the unit will be
turned on. Then you can do the unit Setting, Configuration or data downloading. When powered by cable from PC, the
Power Switch would have no function and the unit would have no Low Battery Detect/Warning function.
Before start using the unit, you must set the Real Time Clock (RTC) inside the unit to your local time. If there is no
battery for quite a while or it is powered by cable for quite a while this would cause Real Time clock (RTC)
malfunctioned due to no power supply. When put on the battery to turn on the unit and the Red/Green LED take turns
blinking, this means the RTC is malfunctioning and you must do the RTC time setting before you use the unit.
When powered by battery, it would have Low Battery Detect function. When the battery goes low, the LCD would
display “ “ and you must charge battery immediately, otherwise, the unit would shut down any time without pre-
warning.
