units. Use of other battery packs may damage the device or cause
an accident. Hioki is not liable for such damage.
See: "2.1 Using the Battery Pack (Option)" (p. 41)
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack incorporates safety mechanisms and protective devices
to prevent dangerous operation. If these are damaged, the battery
pack may leak, become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or
catch on fire.
• Do not connect the battery pack’s positive and negative terminals
with wire or other metallic objects. Do not carry or store the battery
pack together with metal necklaces, hairpins, or other metal
objects. Doing so may short the battery pack, causing an excessively large current to flow; the battery to leak, become excessively
hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire; or the wire, necklace,
hairpin, or other metal object to become excessively hot.
• Do not submerge the battery pack in water or heat it. Doing so may
melt the insulation, damage the gas release valve or other safety
devices, cause the electrolyte to ignite, or cause the battery to leak,
become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• Do not use or leave the battery pack near a flame or heater or in any
other hot location (80°C or hotter). If the resin separator becomes
damaged by heat, the battery may experience an internal short,
causing it to leak, become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack,
or catch on fire.
• Do not place the battery pack in, or expose it to, water, seawater, or
any other liquid. Damage to safety devices in the battery pack may
allow the battery to charge at an abnormal current or voltage, causing an abnormal chemical reaction inside the battery pack and
causing it to leak, become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack,
or catch on fire.
• Do not pierce the battery pack with wire, strike it with a hammer, or
step on it. Doing so may damage or deform the battery pack so that
internal components are shorted, causing it to leak, become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
11
Operating Precautions
• Do not subject the battery pack to strong mechanical shock or
throw it. Doing so may cause it to leak, become excessively hot,
generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire. Damage to safety devices
in the battery pack may allow the battery to charge at an abnormal
current or voltage, causing an abnormal chemical reaction inside
the battery pack and causing it to leak, become excessively hot,
generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• Do not use battery packs that have suffered external damage or
become deformed in shape due to having been dropped or for other
reasons. Doing so may cause the battery pack to leak, become
excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• Do not solder directly to the battery pack. The resulting heat may
melt the insulation, damage the gas release valve or other safety
devices, cause the electrolyte to ignite, or cause the battery to leak,
become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• Using this battery pack in devices other than those designated by
Hioki may degrade its performance or service life, and some
devices may trigger an abnormal current flow or damage the battery pack, causing it to leak, become excessively hot, generate
smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• If you get fluid that has leaked from the battery pack in your eyes,
avoid rubbing them and immediately flush with a large volume of
tap water or other clean water. Seek immediate medical attention.
Failure to do so may cause permanent vision damage.
• If the battery pack fails to charge fully even though the normal
charge time has elapsed, unplug the AC adapter from the instrument or measurement unit to stop charging. Failure to do so may
cause the battery pack to leak, become excessively hot, generate
smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• Do not place the battery pack on top of an electromagnetic range or
inside a microwave oven or pressure cooker. Doing so may heat the
battery pack rapidly or break its airtight seal, causing it to leak,
become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• If the battery pack starts to leak or emit an unusual odor, move it
away from fire immediately. Failure to do so may ignite the leaked
electrolyte and cause the battery pack to generate smoke, crack, or
catch on fire.
• If you notice the battery pack emitting an unusual odor, changing
color, becoming deformed in shape, or otherwise exhibiting a different appearance than usual while it is being used, charged, or
stored, immediately halt use and contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller. Continued use may cause the battery pack to
leak, become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on
fire.
12
Operating Precautions
• Do not use or leave the battery pack in a hot location, for example in a
place that is exposed to strong, direct sunlight or inside a closed vehicle
on a hot summer day. Doing so may cause it to leak, become exces
sively hot, or generate smoke. It may also degrade the battery pack’s
performance or service life.
• If the battery leaks onto your skin or clothing, immediately rinse with a
large volume of tap water or other clean water. Failure to do so may
result in a skin rash.
• If you notice rust, an unusual odor, excessive heat, or any other abnormal state upon using the battery for the first time after purchase, stop use
and contact your HIOKI distributor.
• Check the battery pack’s positive and negative terminals and connect
them properly to the instrument or measurement unit.
• Always charge the battery before using it for the first time after purchase
or after it has been stored for an extended period of time.
• Keep the ambient temperature between 5°C and 35°C while charging the
battery pack. When charging at low temperatures near 5°C, the battery
pack will hold less charge than when charged at 23°C. The lower the
temperature, the shorter the time the battery pack will power the device.
• The battery pack’s service life (defined as the ability to retain 70% or
more of its initial capacity) is approximately 300 charge/discharge cycles.
(Service life varies with the method of storage and operating environment.)
• When storing for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack
from the instrument or measurement unit and store in a cool place (about
20°C). Charge the battery pack for approximately 30 minutes once every
year in an instrument or measurement unit.
• The battery pack is a consumable. Degraded operating times following
proper charging indicate that the battery pack has reached the end of its
service life. Replace it with a new battery pack.

When transporting the Z1007 Battery Pack on an aircraft
• The Z1007 Battery Pack uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
• Transport of lithium-ion batteries on aircraft is subject to restrictions based on UN recommendations.
• Before repairing or calibrating devices that use the Z1007 Battery Pack or transporting
them on an aircraft, contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Using the AC Adapter
• Use only the supplied Model Z1008 AC Adapter. AC adapter input
voltage range is 100 to 240 VAC (with ±10% stability) at 50/60 Hz. To
avoid electrical hazards and damage to the instrument and measurement units, do not apply voltage outside of this range.
• When connecting the AC adapter to the instrument, a measurement
unit, or a power outlet, always turn off the instrument and measurement unit first.
• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of this instrument and measurement units, connect the supplied power cord only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground)
outlet.
Turn off the power before disconnecting the AC adapter.

Operating Precautions
Handling of temperature and humidity sensor
Model Z2000 Humidity Sensor and Model Z2010/Z2011 Humidity Sensor
are not dustproof or waterproof. Do not use the sensor in locations where
it may be exposed to dust or water. It may cause a malfunction of the
instrument.
• Sensor sensitivity and precision will degrade over time, even under normal operating conditions. To maintain the instrument’s ability to make
measurements that conform to the accuracy specifications, it is recom
mended to replace the temperature and humidity sensor with a new unit
once it has been used for one year after being opened.
• When the sensor is used outside the specified operating (storage) environment, the sensor accuracy may deteriorate even within the 1 year
accuracy warranty period and accurate measurement cannot be per
formed.
• In principle, the surface of the instrument’s temperature and humidity
sensor may become contaminated if exposed to an environment contain
ing organic gases (ketone, acetone, ethanol, toluene, etc.), increasing
the error component of humidity measurement.
• Do not expose the temperature and humidity sensor to any concentrated
chemical solvent for an extended period of time while it is used or stored.
• The sensor may become contaminated by organic gases released from
some types of vinyl chloride and packaging material.
• When the temperature and humidity sensor is not used, place it with a
drying agent in a plastic bag, seal the bag completely, and store it in a
cool, dark place.
• Do not allow any condensation to form. Condensation can form particularly in any environment where the temperature changes drastically.
• This instrument does not come with a guarantee against any problem
when the sensor is used outside the specified operating (storage) envi
ronment.
• Change in humidity (lower to higher, or higher to lower) affects measured
humidity values due to hysteresis. For the Z2000 Humidity Sensor, an
arithmetic difference of about 3%RH will arise; for the Z2010/Z2011
Humidity Sensor, an arithmetic difference of ±1%RH or narrower will
arise.

Operating Precautions
Connection Precautions
When connecting measurement cables to a Wireless Voltage/Temp Unit or
Wireless Universal Unit
Do not leave the Unit connected to test objects in environments
where a voltage surge might exceed the dielectric withstand voltage.
Doing so could result in damage to the measurement units, bodily
injury or fatal accident.
• To avoid electric shock or a short-circuit accident, disconnect
power to the measurement line before turning on the measurement
unit.
• To avoid shock and short circuits, turn off all power before connecting measurement cables.
• Do not connect a cable to the measurement units while it is connected to the object to be measured. Otherwise, an electric shock
accident may occur.
• To avoid short-circuit accidents, make certain that connections are
secure.
• To avoid electric shock and short-circuit accidents, always close
the analog input terminal cover and tighten the screws.
• To avoid electric shock, use the recommended wire type to connect
to the current input terminals, or otherwise ensure that the wire
used has sufficient current handling capacity and insulation.
• Measurement units are not drip-proof and should be installed so
that water or other liquids cannot flow down measurement cables
and enter the unit enclosure via the terminal block. One way to do
so is to orient the unit so that the measurement cables are lower
than the unit.
