Operating Precautions
5
Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates normally to ensure
that the no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any damage, con-
tact your dealer or Hioki representative.
Avoiding Collector Damage
To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when
transporting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock
from dropping.
CD Handling
• Always hold the disc by the edges, so as not to make fingerprints on
the disc or scratch the printing.Never touch the recorded side of the
disc. Do not place the disc directly on anything hard.
• Do not wet the disc with volatile alcohol or water, as there is a possibil-
ity of the label printing disappearing.
• To write on the disc label surface, use a spirit-based felt pen. Do not
use a ball-point pen or hard-tipped pen, because there is a danger of
scratching the surface and corrupting the data. Do not use adhesive
labels.
• Do not expose the disc directly to the sun's rays, or keep it in condi-
tions of high temperature or humidity, as there is a danger of warping,
with consequent loss of data.
• To remove dirt, dust, or fingerprints from the disc, wipe with a dry
cloth, or use a CD cleaner. Always wipe from the inside to the outside,
and do no wipe with circular movements. Never use abrasives or sol-
vent cleaners.
• Hioki shall not be held liable for any problems with a computer system
that arises from the use of this CD, or for any problem related to the
purchase of a Hioki product.
Preliminary Checks
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the
USB cable is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improp-
erly exposed. Using the device in such conditions could cause an
electric shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for
replacements.

Preparation for Use Chapter 2
2.1 Installing (or Replacing) the Battery
• After replacing the batteries, replace the cover before using the
instrument.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.
Also, be careful to observe battery polarity during installation.
Otherwise, poor performance or damage from battery leakage
could result.
• Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not short-circuit, recharge,
disassemble or dispose of in fire.
• Handle and dispose of batteries in accordance with local regula-
tions.
• Data and settings stored in the collector are retained even when the
batteries are depleted, and during battery replacement.
• The clock can keep good time for several minutes even when the bat-
tery is removed during a battery change.
Battery Replacement
1Remove the battery cover from the back
of the collector.
2Install the batteries as shown.
3Close the battery cover.

This indicator is displayed at the top right corner.
• The data saved to the collector and time settings are retained even when the batteries are depleted or
replaced.
• When the collector is connected to a computer viaa USB cable, the battery power is not consumed
because power is supplied to the collector from the computer.
The battery status indicator does not accurately show the remaining battery capacity
when using a NiMH battery. Moreover, the battery life will vary greatly with the capac-
ity, charging conditions and repeated uses. Please take note of these points when
using it.
The device's battery status display and battery life are based on the usage of a brand-
new alkaline battery.
Battery Status Indicator
Battery power remaining (The blocks disappear from the left as battery power
reduces.)
Batteries depleted (It is time to replace the batteries. Communication with a logger is
not possible in this state.)
The indicator appears when battery voltage becomes low. Replace
the batteries as soon as possible.
Using a NiMH Battery
When the logger will not be used for long time
To avoid corrosion and damage to this instrument from battery leakage,
remove the batteries from the instrument if it is to be stored for a long
time (1 week).
