For Your Safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this
section carefully before using the unit to ensure proper
and safe operation of your unit.
•This section explains the graphic symbols used in
this manual.
WARNING
Denotes a potential
hazard that could
result in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
Denotes hazards
that could result in
minor injury or
damage to the unit.
These symbols are used to
alert operators to a specific
operating procedure that
must not be performed.
These symbols are used to
alert operators to a specific
operating procedure that
must be emphasized in
order to operate the unit
safely.
For Users
WARNING
Power and Ground Connection
The power source voltage of this unit is
listed on the nameplate. Only plug the
unit into an AC outlet with the proper
voltage. If you use a cord with an
unspecified current rating, the unit or
plug may emit smoke or become hot to
the touch.
When you operate this product, the
power outlet should be near the product
and easily accessible.
To ensure safe operation the power cord
supplied must be inserted into a standard
three-prong AC outlet which is effectively
grounded (earthed) through the normal
wiring.
The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the
power point is grounded (earthed) and
that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the
effective grounding (earthing) of the
power point, consult a qualified
electrician.
If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to
replace the AC outlet with a properly
grounded (earthed) one.
Do not defeat the grounding (earthing)
plug (ex. do not use a conversion plug).
Operating Instructions (For Basic Operations) 7

For Your Safety
For Your Safety

Plug the power cord firmly into an AC
outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or
electric shock.
Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or
chafe the power cord and plug. Damage
to the power cord or plug can cause fire
or electric shock.
Do not attempt to repair the power cord,
or plug. If the power cord or plug is
damaged or frayed, contact an
authorized service representative for a
replacement.
Ensure that the plug connection is free of
dust. In a damp environment, a
contaminated connector can draw a
significant amount of current that can
generate heat, and eventually cause fire
if left unattended over an extended
period of time.
Never touch the plug with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if the unit
emits smoke, excessive heat, abnormal
smell or unusual noise. These conditions
can cause fire or electric shock.
Immediately turn the unit off, and unplug
the power cord, and contact your dealer
for service.
When disconnecting the unit, grasp the
plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord
forcibly can damage it, and cause fire or
electric shock.
During thunderstorms, do not touch the
unit and plug. It may cause an electric
shock.
Installation and Relocation
Have the unit installed, removed and
disposed of only by qualified service
personnel.
When the unit will no longer be used, in
order to prevent it from falling, do not
leave the unit installed, but remove it. If
the unit falls, it can cause injury.
Operating Safeguards
If metal fragments or water gets into the
unit, turn the unit off and unplug the unit
immediately. Contact your dealer for
service. Operating the contaminated unit
can cause fire or electric shock.
Never open or remove unit covers that
are screwed with screws unless
specifically instructed in the "Operating
Instructions". A high-voltage component
can cause electric shock.
Do not alter the unit or modify any parts.
Alteration or modification can cause fire
or electric shock.
CHOKING HAZARD
Keep the penpoint and battery out of
reach of children to prevent swallowing.
Battery
Use only the specified type of battery.
Using the incorrect type of battery can
result in overheating/burning or leakage
of battery acid.
8 Operating Instructions (For Basic Operations)
For Your Safety

Make sure that the battery is installed
with the correct polarity as indicated on
the battery holder. Incorrectly installed
batteries may burst or leak, resulting in
injuries.
Batteries that seem worn down or
damaged should not be used. Using
worn down or damaged batteries may
result in leaking.
Do not charge, short, heat, break or
throw in a fire, as it may result in the
battery leaking, generating heat, or
bursting.
When disposing of the battery, cover the
battery contacts with insulation (ex.
tape). Direct contact with other batteries
may result in leaking, fire, or explosion.
Do not solder the battery, as it may result
in the battery leaking, generating heat, or
bursting.
CAUTION
Power
When the unit is not used over an
extended period of time, switch it off and
unplug it. If an unused unit is left
connected to a power source for a long
period, degraded insulation may cause
electric shock, current leakage, or fire.
The unit should be used only with the
power cord enclosed with the unit.
Installation and Relocation
Do not position the unit in a location
where it is unstable.
Do not place the unit in a hot humid or
dusty environment. Prolonged exposure
to these adverse conditions may cause
fire or electric shock.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose this unit to rain or any type of
moisture.
When moving the unit, be sure to unplug
the power cord from the AC outlet. If the
unit is moved with the power cord
attached, it can cause damage to the
cord which could result in fire or electric
shock.
Move this unit with two persons.
Otherwise, this unit may fall down and
cause injury.
