Notes On Use

•The VIVID 9i is designed for indoor use only, and should never be used outside.

•This digitized has been calibrated at 20°C. We recommend that you use it environments where ambient tem- perature is 20°C (68°F).

•Use an AC power source which is within ±10% of the rated voltage.

•The VIVID 9i should be used within a temperature range of 10 to 40°C at a relative humidity of 65% or less.

•Do not use the VIVID 9i in direct sunlight or near sources of heat such as stoves. Doing so will cause the temperature of the VIVID 9i to rise considerably higher than room temperature and may result in malfunc- tions. Use the VIVID 9i in a well ventilated area and make sure that the ventilation holes of the VIVID 9i are not blocked.

•Do not use the VIVID 9i in extremely dusty or humid areas. Doing so may result in malfunctions.

•Do not subject the VIVID 9i to strong vibration or shocks. Doing so may result in malfunctions.

•When using the VIVID 9i on upper floors of buildings or near high-traffic streets, the instrument and/or measurement subject may vibrate, adversely affecting measurement results.

•Do not allow the digitizer to fall on its side, as it may sustain damaged if knocked over.

•Do not disconnect cords and cables with the POWER switch of the VIVID 9i set to ON “I”. Doing so may result in malfunctions.

•The VIVID 9i has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful inter- ference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

•The VIVID 9i is a class II instrument specified in IEC Publication 825. Use it according to the instructions given in this manual.

•Do not use the VIVID 9i at altitudes of higher than 2000 m.

•Before using this unit for the first time, and before reusing it following transport, check that the lens is se- curely in place. If the lens is loose, tighten it in accordance with the tightening instructions included in the lens replacement procedure.

Care On Storage

•The VIVID 9i should be stored in areas with temperatures of between 0 and +40°C. Do not store it in areas subject to high temperature or high humidity or where sudden changes in temperature or condensation are likely to occur. We recommend storing the VIVID 9i around room temperature (20 ± 3°C) with a desiccant (silica gel etc.).

•Do not leave the VIVID 9i inside a closed car or in the trunk of a car. Under direct sunlight, the increase in temperature can be extreme and may result in malfunctions.

•The VIVID 9i should not be stored in areas where there is an excessive amount of dust, cigarette smoke or chemical gas. Failure to adhere to this may result in performance degradation or break-down.

•When shipping the product, use the original packing materials in which the product was shipped. The mate- rials will provide protection against vibrations and impact, and also provide some protection against sudden changes in temperature.

•Lenses that are not in use should be capped and kept in the lens case.

•Before storing this equipment, be sure to attach the receiving lens cap and the laser barrier.
