2.5 Safety
Do not modify the unit or use it in ways not described in the
documentation. Modification, improper use, and/or careless handling may lead
to safety hazards, equipment damage, failure to perform according to
specification, decreased equipment lifetime, and/or the warranty becoming
void.
CAUTION!
The optional magnetic hanger of Indigo80 contains a strong
magnet. Handle it with care and keep it away from devices that are sensitive to
magnetic fields (for example, pacemakers, magnetic cards, and mechanical
watches).
CAUTION!
2.5.1 Lithium-ion battery related precautions
Take the following precautions when handling lithium-ion
batteries:
• Do not place the lithium-ion battery in fire or apply heat to the battery.
• Do not damage the battery with a sharp or blunt object, step on the battery,
or otherwise damage the outer casing.
• Do not subject the battery to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get
wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and
protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate
heat, rupture, or ignite.
• Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside
cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat,
rupture, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in
shortened lifespan and loss of performance.
• Never short circuit, reverse polarity, disassemble, damage, or heat the
battery over 100 °C (212 °F).
• DO NOT SPILL WATER ON A BURNING BATTERY. A fire extinguisher must
be used. If an exposed lithium-ion battery catches fire, it will burn even more
violently if it comes into contact with water or even moisture in the air.
WARNING!
The preinstalled Indigo80 battery is not user-replaceable. Using
batteries other than those provided by Vaisala will void the warranty of
Indigo80. Contact your nearest Vaisala Service Center for any battery-related
maintenance needs. See www.vaisala.com/support.
CAUTION!
Chapter 2 – Product overview
13

Remove the battery before shipping Indigo80 to Vaisala for repairs.
For shipping instructions, contact your nearest Vaisala Service Center.
See www.vaisala.com/support.
CAUTION!
Follow local laws and regulations to dispose of used or damaged
lithium-ion batteries in a safe manner.
CAUTION!
2.5.2 AC adapter related precautions
Make sure that the AC adapter you are using to charge Indigo80 is
an isolated power source that fulfills the requirements of one of the following:
• Limited-Energy Circuit (LEC) in accordance with IEC/EN/UL/CSA 61010-1
• Limited Power Source (LPS) in accordance with IEC/EN/UL/CSA 60950-1 or
IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368-1, Annex Q
• Class 2 supply source that complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC),
NFPA 70, Clause 725.121 and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part I, C22.1.
CAUTION!
For technical requirements of a compatible AC adapter, see Indigo80 specifications
(page 47).
Use the AC adapter only in its specified environmental conditions.CAUTION!
2.5.3 ESD protection
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately
protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by
delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects in the
equipment housing.
To avoid delivering high static voltages to the product:
• Handle ESD‑sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench
or by grounding yourself to the equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive
connection cord.
• If you are unable to take either precaution, touch a conductive part of the equipment
chassis with your other hand before touching ESD‑sensitive components.
• Hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching component contacts.

Figure 6 Shortcut menu for editing measurement views
1Two types of templates are available for new views (for examples of dierent types of
measurement views, see Figure 4 (page 17)):
•Default: allows you to add a maximum of 11 new vertically-stacked views. The total
number of views in the stack is 12. Each view fits a maximum of four measurement
parameters.
•Comparison: allows you to add a maximum of 10 new vertically-stacked views. The
comparison template is available only when two probes are connected to
Indigo80.
2Edit view: you can add new parameters into an existing view (space allowing), or delete
parameters from a view.
3Delete view deletes the active measurement view or comparison view, as well as the
related graph views.
4Restore default views deletes all created custom views and restores the default views,
which vary depending on the type and number of probes connected to Indigo80.
The number of new views that can be added is higher for probes with just one output
parameter, for example, GMP252. For multiparameter probes, such as HMP7, the parameter list
views at the bottom of the stack reserve up to three views of the total, allowing for fewer new
views to be added.
