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 possibility cause personal injury. If the LCD panel
is broken, never touch the liquid inside, for such contact would irritate the skin.
◆ Although the SC600 PDT has been passed the test of IP54 standard 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
1

contaminants entering into 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 supplier are allowed to disassemble and reassemble the
device. If the device or parts has been damaged due to any wrong handling, shall
void the product and parts warranty.
◆ Always make back-up copies of all important data. Easy done by using a cable or
Single Cradle (sold by optional) to transfer data to the computer. Manufacturer is
not liable for any data damages or data loss caused by deletion or corruption by
using of this device, or due to the drained battery.
◆ 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 place the battery pack in fire or heat the battery.
?Do not install the battery pack backwards so the polarity is reserved.
?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, strike the battery pack with a hammer,
step on the battery pack or otherwise put 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.
?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
