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.

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.

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.

Operating Precautions
• The following table lists the analog input terminals’ maximum input voltage, input-to-ground maximum rated voltage, and channel-to­channel maximum rated voltage for each unit.To avoid electric shock accidents and damage to the instrument and measurement units, do not exceed these voltages.
• Channels are insulated by semiconductor relays. When a voltage beyond the specification is applied between the channels, the semi­conductor relay may short circuit. Please ensure that a voltage beyond specification, especially a surge such as a lightning, is never applied. When an abnormal measurement value is observed, please contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller for inspection.
• When connecting a measurement cable of 3 m or more in length, the cable may experience external noise or other EMC effects.
• Route measurement leads and cables as far away as possible from power and earth lines.
• Measurement values may be scattered if the leads are routed in parallel with other devices. If they must be parallel, check operation before taking measurements.
