Notes For Using The Instrument - Canon R-F10 Operation Manual

2. Notes for Using the Instrument

Before Use
(1) Sudden heating of the room in cold areas will cause condensation to form on the
protective glass in the measurement window and on optical parts inside the instrument.
In this case, wait until condensation disappears before performing measurement.
During Measurement
(1) Do not stain the protective glass in the measurement window with fingerprints, etc.
Otherwise, you may not be able to obtain a correct measurement.
(2) It is recommended that a hard copy of the printout be made if you wish to store it for a
long time, because printouts on thermal paper are apt to deteriorate.
After Use
(1) Turn OFF the power and place the dust cover over the instrument.
During Cleaning and Disinfection
(1) If the surface of the protective glass is wiped when dust or dirt is on it, it will be
scratched. Also, do not wipe the protective glass with ethyl alcohol or with cleaning
paper containing silicone.
Otherwise, the surface will be corroded, or will be stained. → Section 7.3.1
(2) Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning the cover of the instrument.
Also, never wipe the cover with ethanol or glutaraldehyde solution.
Otherwise, the coating will be corroded. → Section 7.3.3
During Installation
(1) Handle the instrument carefully, as preadjustment may be altered if the instrument
receives a strong jolt.
(2) Do not install the instrument where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Otherwise, it will be hard to see the monitor properly, or you may not be able to obtain
a correct measurement.
(3) Blow off the dust in the connectors of the cables with a blower before connecting them.
Otherwise, connection failure may occur.
(4) When the instrument is going to be transported, it must be protected against vibration
and shocks. Contact Canon representative or distributor for advice on the procedure for
packing it.
(5) Do not lay the instrument on its side when the power is turned ON. Otherwise, the
instrument will malfunction.
