Caution: This symbol is used throughout the Owner’s Manual to CAUTION and alert the user to recommended
safety and/or operating guidelines.
Danger: This symbol is used throughout the Owner’s Manual to identify sources of immediate DANGER such as
the presence of hazardous voltages.
Read Instructions: Before operating the monitor read the instructions.
Retain Instructions: The safety precautions and operating instructions found in the Owner’s Manual should be
retained for future reference.
Heed Warnings: Follow all warnings on the monitor, accessories (if any) and in this Owner’s Manual.
Follow Instructions: Observe all precautions and operating instructions. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or damage to the monitor.
Heat: Situate and store the monitor away from sources of heat.
Liquid and Object Entry: The monitor should not be immersed in any liquid. Care should be taken so that liquids
are not spilled into and objects do not fall into the inside of the monitor.
Handling: Do not use force when using the switches and knobs. Before moving your monitor be sure to
disconnect the wiring/power cord and any cables connected to the output terminals located on the monitor.
Maintenance
Serviceability: Except for replacing the oxygen sensor, there are no parts inside the monitor for the operator to
service.
Only trained personnel with the authorization of their supervisor should conduct maintenance.
Oxygen Sensor: DO NOT open the sensor. The sensor contains a corrosive liquid electrolyte that could be
harmful if touched or ingested, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet contained in the Owner’s Manual appendix.
Avoid contact with any liquid or crystal type powder in or around the sensor or sensor housing, as either could be a
form of electrolyte. Leaking sensors should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Troubleshooting: Consult the guidelines in Section 8 for advice on the common operating errors before
concluding that your monitor is faulty.
Do not attempt to service the monitor beyond those means described in this Owner’s Manual. Do not attempt to
make repairs by yourself as this will void the warranty as per Section 10 and may result in electrical shock, injury or
damage. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
Cleaning: The monitor should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. Wipe off dust and dirt from
the outside of the unit with a soft damp cloth then dry immediately. Do not use solvents or chemicals.
Nonuse Periods: If the monitor is equipped with a range switch advance the switch to the OFF position and
disconnect the power when the monitor is left unused for a long period of time.
