Care and maintenance
1. Make sure the input power adapter correctly, the machine uses DC5V power
adapter;
2, the instrument display on the LCD module is fragile, perishable items, please do
not slam and near chemicals to prevent corrosion. When you feel the liquid surface
dust and dirt, wipe with a soft cloth carefully.
3, the working temperature of -10 ~ 50
℃
, Storage temperature -20 ~ 70
℃
, and the
instrument in a dry environment.
4. Do not attempt to disassemble the equipment, destroy the package will void the
warranty. The instrument is there are no user-serviceable parts, repairs may only
repair outlets or by specifying the return factory.
5, avoid lighted candles, a water cup, corrosive chemicals and other unsafe items
placed on the surface of the instrument, so as not to cause damage to the instrument.
6, the display screen are easy to pollution, fragile device, do not touch the hand as
well as external and collision, avoid children play this instrument.
19
7. Do not move the instrument to avoid severe irreparable damage to the internal
circuit when the instrument is working properly.
Exclude the above problem re-power the instrument still does not work, please
contact your supplier!
