cable connected to the Maintenance Console during storage.
●Please use the console, keeping as far away from noise source such as motor and machine base, as
possible, because it causes console malfunction or emergency stop of an elevator.

●Please turn off the console when the malfunction or the emergency stop occurs during use of console.
Remove the cable from elevator side, and refer to Installation and Maintenance Manual (the trouble
shooting for each devices).

●It will cause the failure and break if the polarity of a dry cell is mistaken.
Please set a battery to a console according to the polar display of a battery holder.

●Please keep it security at a set place after use, because the dust may cause the trouble.

●Warranty period：A Warranty period is for one year after product delivery.

●Guarantee range：The failure caused by you is not included in the warranty.
