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 standard, and could result in water or other contaminants entering the
PDT.
Use only the approved AC Adapter with the PDT. Use of an unapproved 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 battery 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 contacts to get wet.
Chapter 1
– 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!
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 according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Achtung!
