:
Use precautions
Before Use
CAUTION
• Do not use the instrument for other than the intended purpose.
NIDEK is not responsible for accidents or malfunctions caused by careless use.
• Never disassemble nor touch the inside of the instrument.
This may result in electric shock or malfunction.
• Install the instrument in an environment that meets the following conditions. The
following conditions must be maintained during use.
Use conditions:
Temperature: +5 to +45 ºC
Humidity: Relative humidity must not exceed 50% at a maximum temperature of 40ºC
Atmospheric pressure: 700 to 1060 hPa
A place with low dust
A place with little external light
A place free of vibration and impact
• Do not store the instrument in an area that contains contaminants such as corrosive
gases, acid or salt.
Corrosion damage or malfunction of the instrument may result.
• Install the instrument in a location with an adequate operating area in front of the
instrument as illustrated on Page V.
• Be sure to use a wall outlet which meets the power specification requirements.
If the line voltage is too high or too low, the instrument may not perform properly. Mal-
function or fire may occur.
• Connect the power plug to a ground outlet. Or connect a grounding wire to a
ground terminal.
Electric shock or fire may occur in the event of malfunction or power leakage.
• Completely insert the power plug into the outlet as far as the prongs will go.
Fire may occur if the instrument is used with a loose connection.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
The damaged power cord may cause fire or electric shock.
• Before connecting the cable, turn the power switch off and disconnect the power
cord from an outlet.
Failure of the instrument may result.
• Hold the base with both hands when carrying the instrument to another location.
Accidental dropping of the instrument may cause damage to the instrument and/or
cause bodily injury.

III
:
During Use
CAUTION
• Use the special packing materials when transporting the instrument to protect from
impact of dropping.
Excessive vibration or impact to the instrument may cause malfunction.
CAUTION
• Connect the cable to the interface connector securely, maintaining the correct
orientation of the cable connector.
Data transmission is not performed properly.
• In the event of smoke or strange odors, immediately turn off the instrument and
disconnect the power plug from the outlet. After you are sure that the smoke has
stopped, then contact NIDEK or your authorized distributor.
Usage of the instrument under such abnormal conditions may cause fire or electric
shock. In case of fire, use a dry chemical (ABC) extinguisher to extinguish the fire.
• Immediately replace the power cord if the internal wires are exposed, the
instrument turns on or off when the power cord is moved, or the cord and/or plug
are too hot to be held with hands.
This may result in electric shock or fire.
In the event of malfunction, disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Never touch
the inside of the instrument and contact NIDEK or your authorized distributor.
• Be sure to select the material of a lens to be processed.
If an improper material is selected, the lens may break or lifetime of processing
wheels may be reduced substantially in lens processing with a lens edger.
• Do not press the Block button on the condition that no lens is placed on the
lens table.
Doing so could cause contact of the cup holder to pins of the lens table.
• Do not touch the touch screen with anything other than the tip of a touch pen. Keep
magnetic objects away from the LCD touch screen.
The instrument may be damaged.
• Do not operate the LCD touch screen with wet hands.
Water seeping may result in failure of the instrument.
• When connecting and disconnecting the USB flash drive, be sure not to touch the
terminal area directory and not to touched to metal.
The data may lost or corrupted as it is recorded by static.
• To protect data loss or corruption due to damage to a USB flash drive, back up data
onto other media.
NIDEK is not responsible for data loss or corruption due to lack of back-up.

IV
:
After Use
Maintenance
CAUTION
• If the instrument will not be used, turn the power off and close the tracing unit
cover.
Settled dust may affect the measurement accuracy.
• Do not yank the power cord to disconnect it from a wall outlet but hold the plug.
This can damage the metal core of the cord and may result in electric shock, short cir-
cuit, or fire.
• Occasionally clean the prongs of the power plug with a dry cloth.
If dust settles between the prongs, the dust will collect moisture, and short circuit or
fire may occur.
• If the instrument will not be used for a long time, disconnect the power cord from
the wall outlet.
Fire may occur.
• Maintain the surrounding temperature and humidity at the following range during
transport and storage of the packed instrument.
Environmental conditions:
Temperature: –25 to +70 ºC
Humidity: 10 to 95% (Non-condensing)
A place with low dust
A place not exposed to direct sunlight
• To transport the instrument, use the special packing materials to protect the
instrument from shock or impact.
Excessive vibration or impact to the instrument may cause malfunction.
CAUTION
• Be sure to perform check before and after use. It is recommended to have regular
checks every two years.
Regular checks must be performed by qualified personnel. Ask NIDEK or your autho-
rized distributor for details.
• When performing maintenance work, secure a sufficient maintenance space. (See
Page V.)
Maintenance work in an insufficient space may result in injury.
• Use the specified fuses to replace the old ones.
If not, fire may result.
