1.6 Procedures, Warnings and Cautions
The equipment described in this manual is intended to be used for the detection and measurement of
ionizing radiation. It should be used only by persons who have been trained in the proper interpretation of
its readings and the appropriate safety procedures to be followed in the presence of radiation.
Although the equipment described in this manual is designed and manufactured in compliance with all
applicable safety standards, certain hazards are inherent in the use of electronic and radiometric
equipment.
Warnings and Cautions are presented throughout this document to alert the user to potentially
hazardous situations. A Warning is a precautionary message preceding an operation that has the
potential to cause personal injury or death. A Caution is a precautionary message preceding an operation
that has the potential to cause permanent damage to the equipment and/or loss of data. Failure to comply
with Warnings and Cautions is at the user's own risk and is sufficient cause to terminate the warranty
agreement between Fluke Biomedical and the customer.
Adequate warnings are included in this manual and on the product itself to cover hazards that may be
encountered in normal use and servicing of this equipment. No other procedures are warranted by Fluke
Biomedical. It shall be the owner's or user's responsibility to see to it that the procedures described here
are meticulously followed, and especially that Warnings and Cautions are heeded. Failure on the part of
the owner or user in any way to follow the prescribed procedures shall absolve Fluke Biomedical and its
agents from any resulting liability.
Indicated battery and other operational tests must be performed prior to each use to assure that the
instrument is functioning properly. If applicable, failure to conduct periodic performance tests in
accordance with ANSI N323-1978 (R1983) Radiation Protection Instrumentation Test and Calibration,
paragraphs 4.6 and 5.4, and to keep records thereof in accordance with paragraph 4.5 of the same
standard, could result in erroneous readings or potential danger. ANSI N323-1978 becomes, by this
reference, a part of this operating procedure.
