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 MARS-1030 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 contaminants entering into 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 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.
3 Chapter 1
– 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 eye. Rinse well with water and immediately
seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause
damage to the eye.
