For Your Safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this 
section carefully before using the unit to ensure proper 
and safe operation of your unit.
The following graphic symbols are used in this 
Operating Instructions manual.
Power and Ground Connection
CLASS 1 LED PRODUCTDenotes a potential 
hazard that could 
result in serious 
injury or death.
Denotes hazards 
that could result in 
minor injury or 
damage to the unit.
These symbols are used to 
alert operators to a specific 
operating procedure that 
must not be performed.
These symbols are used to 
alert operators to a specific 
operating procedure that 
must be emphasized in order 
to operate the unit safely.
WARNING
CAUTION
The power source voltage of this unit is listed 
on the nameplate. Only plug the unit into an 
AC outlet with the proper voltage.
If you use a cord with an unspecified current 
rating, the unit or plug may emit smoke or 
become hot to the touch.
When you operate this product, the power 
outlet should be near the product and easily 
accessible.
To ensure safe operation the power cord 
supplied must be inserted into a standard 
three-prong AC outlet which is effectively 
grounded (earthed) through the normal 
wiring.
The fact that the equipment operates 
satisfactorily does not imply that the power 
point is grounded (earthed) and that the 
installation is completely safe. For your 
safety, if in any doubt about the effective 
grounding (earthing) of the power point, 
consult a qualified electrician.
If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC 
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to 
replace the AC outlet with a properly 
grounded (earthed) one.
Do not defeat the grounding (earthing) plug 
(ex. do not use a conversion plug).
Plug the power cord firmly into an AC outlet. 
Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe 
the power cord and plug. Damage to the 
power cord or plug can cause fire or electric 
shock.

							For Your Safety9
Before You Start
Installation and Relocation Operating Safeguards
Battery
Do not attempt to repair the power cord or 
plug. If the power cord or plug is damaged or 
frayed, contact an authorized service 
representative for a replacement.
Ensure that the plug connection is free of 
dust. In a damp environment, a 
contaminated connector can draw a 
significant amount of current that can 
generate heat and eventually cause fire if left 
unattended over an extended period of time.
Never touch the plug with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if the unit emits 
smoke, excessive heat, abnormal smell or 
unusual noise. These conditions can cause 
fire or electric shock. Immediately turn the 
unit off and unplug the power cord, and 
contact your dealer for service.
When disconnecting the unit, grasp the plug 
instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord forcibly 
can damage it and cause fire or electric 
shock.
During thunderstorms, do not touch the
unit and plug. It may cause an electric
shock.
When the unit will no longer be used, in order 
to prevent it from falling, do not leave the unit 
installed, but remove it. If the unit falls, it can 
cause injury.
If metal fragments or water gets into the unit, 
turn the unit off and unplug the unit 
immediately. Contact your dealer for service. 
Operating the contaminated unit can cause 
fire or electric shock.
Never open or remove unit covers that are 
screwed with screws unless specifically 
instructed in the “Operating Instructions”. A 
high-voltage component can cause electric 
shock.
Do not alter the unit or modify any parts. 
Alteration or modification can cause fire or 
electric shock.
CHOKING HAZARD
Keep the marker’s cap, battery, SD memory 
card or USB flash memory device out of 
reach of children to prevent chocking.
Use only the specified type of battery. Using 
the incorrect type of battery can result in 
overheating/burning or leakage of battery 
acid.
Make sure that the battery is installed with 
the correct polarity as indicated on the 
battery holder. Incorrectly installed batteries 
may burst or leak, resulting in injuries.
Batteries that seem worn down or damaged 
should not be used. Using worn down or 
damaged batteries may result in leaking.
Do not charge, short, heat, break or throw in 
a fire, as it may result in the battery leaking, 
generating heat, or bursting.
When disposing of the battery, cover the 
battery contacts with insulation (ex. tape). 
Direct contact with other batteries may result 
in leaking, fire, or explosion.
Do not solder the battery, as it may result in 
the battery leaking, generating heat, or 
bursting.
