3 Chapter 1 1.2 User and Product Safety• Do not stare into the laser beam directly or shine it into eyes.• Never use strong pressure onto the screen or subject it to severe impact, as the LCD panel could become cracked and possibly cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is broken, never touch the liquid inside, for such contact would irritate the skin.• Although the MARS-1030F PDT has passed IP54 standard tests for water and dust resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. For these conditions exceed the IP54 stan-dard, and could result in water or other contaminants entering the PDT.• Use only the approved AC Adapter with the PDT. Use of an unap-proved AC Adapter could result in electrical problems, or even cause a fire or electrical shock to the user.• Be sure that only authorized suppliers are allowed to disassemble and reassemble the device. If the device or parts has been damaged due to wrong handling, the product and parts warranty shall be void.• Always make backup copies of all important data. This is easily one by using a cable or Single Cradle (sold as an option) to transfer data to the computer. The manufacturer is not liable for any data damage or loss caused by deletion or corruption of data when using this device or caused by a drained battery.• Lithium-ion battery packs might get hot, explode, ignite and/or cause serious injury abused. Please follow the safety warnings listed as below:– Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat the battery.– Do not install the battery pack backwards so the polarity is reversed.– Do not connect the positive and negative terminals of the bat-tery pack together with any electrically conductive object.– Do not carry or store battery pack together with metal objects.– Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike the battery pack with a hammer, step on the battery pack or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.– Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.– Do not expose battery pack to liquid, or allow the battery con-tacts to get wet.
MARS-1030F User Manual 4– Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.– Do not discharge the battery pack using any device except for the specified device. When it is used in devices other than the specified devices, the battery pack can be damaged or its life expectancy reduced. If the device causes any abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery pack to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.– In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.Caution!Achtung!There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed. Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries accord-ing to the manufacturer’s instructions.
