1 For Your Safety
1.1 General Use
The MedioP200L is designed to be reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service. Please
observe the following general tips:
• Take care not to scratch the device. Keep the device clean. When working with the device, use
only TAGSYS-approved accessories.
• This device is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Under extreme
conditions, water may enter the circuitry.
• Protect the device from extreme temperatures. For example, do not place the device in a
windowed area where the sun may cause extreme temperatures, and keep it away from
heaters and other heat sources.
• Do not store or use the device in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. If the surface of the device becomes soiled, clean it
with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
1.2 Care and Maintenance
This device is a product of superior design and should be handled with care. The suggestions
below will further increase the lifetime of this device.
• Keep the device and all parts and accessories out of the reach of small children.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged.
• Do not store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store in cold areas. When the device warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture
can form inside the device, which may damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device. Non-professional handling of the device may damage it.
• Handle the device with care. Shocks may break internal circuit boards.
• Do not clean the device with harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents. Gently
wipe the device with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
• Do not paint the device. Paint may clog the device’s moving parts and prevent proper
operation. Paint with metallic contents may limit device performances.
• If the device or any accessory are not working properly, take it to your nearest qualified
TAGSYS representative.
