property damage, if not avoided.

WARNING

z Do not connect the communication cable by wet hand. Doing so may cause an electrical shock.

z Do not use the communication cable for purpose other than that specified.

CAUTION

z Do not expose the communication cable and/or CD-ROM to the direct sunlight or put them in a place where the

temperature is high. Additionally, do not leave the communication cable and/or CD-ROM in a place where the high temperature continues for an extended period of time, such as inside of a car. Doing so may cause the communication cable and/or CD-ROM to be discolored or deformed.

z Even though this product is used together with other units, always strictly follow the safety precautions stated in this manual. OMEGA shall not be held responsible for any defect arising from negligence of such cautions and instructions.

 Handling Precautions

z When storing the CD-ROM, do not store it in a place where it is exposed to the direct sunlight, or

any dirt, dust, or fluid, such as water is not sticking to it. z Always carefully handle the CD-ROM. If the data recorded surface or label surface is scratched,

this may cause the data not to be read. z Always carefully handle the communication cable so that any excessive load is not applied to it.

When connecting or disconnecting the cable, always hold the connector firmly and connect or disconnect it straight.

Failure to do so may cause the cable or logger main unit to break. z Do not wet the communication cable with water or other fluid. If the communication cable gets

damp, dry it completely before use. z After the communication cable has been connected, pay special attention so that any water does not splash onto the logger main unit or communication cable since the water-proof performance of the logger main unit cannot be kept with the communication cable connected.

z Do not operate the system close to a unit producing the strong static electricity or electromagnetic wave, such as television set or microwave oven. Doing so may cause a malfunction or fault.
