1.2 User and Product Safety
• Do not stare into the laser or LED 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 possibility cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is broken,
never touch the liquid inside because the liquid irritates the skin.
• Although the PDT has passed the test of IP54 standard for water and dust resistance,
avoid prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. Such conditions exceeds
the IP54 standard, and could result in water or other contaminants entering into the PDT.
• Use only the original 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.
• Do not disassemble the PDT. Servicing should be done by Opticon only. If the PDT or
accessories gets damaged due to wrong handling or unauthorized repair, warranty is void.
In case the warranty seals are broken, warranty is void too.
• Make regularly back-ups of all important data.
• Under no circumstance will Opticon be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or
incidential damages aring out of the use or inability to use both the hardware and software
and/or any data loss, even if Opticon has been informed about the possibility of such
damages.

1.3 Battery Safety
Lithium-ion battery packs might get hot, explode, ignite and/or cause serious injury if exploded
by abusive using. Please follow the safety warnings listed as below:
• Do not throw the battery pack in fire. Do not expose the battery to high temperatures.
• Do not connect the positive battery pack with negative battery pack to each other with any metal
object (like wire).
• Do not carry or store battery pack together with metal objects.
• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails or drills, strike the battery pack with a hammer,
step on the battery pack or otherwise expose it to strong impacts, shocks or excessive
force.
• Do not solder onto the battery pack.
• Do not expose battery pack to liquid or allow the battery contacts to get wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and
protection measures, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat,
explode or ignite.
• Do not discharge the batteries outside the PHL-7000 series PDT. Do not use the battery in
another device then the PDT or IRU-7000 series cradles. Otherwise, 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.

Panel > Stylus, to open the “Calibration” to
recalibrate again.
