1.1 Safety information
The DynaPOCKET is designed and tested according to
DIN EN 61 010 Part 1, March 1994, “Safety require-
ments for electric measuring, control and laboratory
equipment“, and was technically in perfectly safe and
faultless condition when leaving the manufacturing
works.
In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a safe
operation, it is absolutely necessary that you read the
following safety information before putting the instru-
ment into operation.
AAttention:
The DynaPOCKET is an instrument for materials
testing. Any use for medical applications or other
purposes is not permitted!
The instrument may only be used in industrial
environments.
Introduction Safety information
Batteries
The DynaPOCKET can be operated with AAA-sized
AlMn cells or rechargeable NiCads and NiMH batteries.
NiCads or NiMH batteries can not be charged within
the instrument. They must be charged with a specifi-
cally approved external battery charger.
For information on how to properly handle the batteries,
please refer to chapter 4
Maintenance and care
.
Software
According to the present state of the art, software is
never completely free from errors.
Before using any software-controlled test equipment,
you should ensure that the required functions operate
perfectly as intended.
If you have any questions about the use of your test
equipment, please contact your local GE Inspection
Technologies representative.
