Otherwise the batteries may leak and result in a breakdown or malfunction of the DFT.
• Never disassemble, modify or repair the DFT and sensors yourself.
Doing so will void the guarantee for the DFT and sensors.
• Do not drop the DFT and sensors, strike them with hard objects, press hard on them, as this may leadto breakdown or malfunction.
• The heat resistance of the DFT, sensor knob and cable section is low, unlike the measuring part of thesensor (metal section), so use them in temperatures ranging from 0 to 50 .
Do not use them in or near water, as this may cause breakdown or malfunction.
• Do not use this instrument near flammable material since the case of this instrument is made of resin.
Avoid setting this instrument directly on flammable material.
• Do not touch the sensor measuring part (metal section, etc.) and protection tube after measuring thetemperature of hot or cold objects, as this may cause burning or frost burn.

About DFT-700 Sensor
Warning• Sensors for the DFT-700 is for temperature measurement: Use it only for this purpose.
• Never use the sensor on the human body. (e.g. Taking body temperature, etc.)• Be sure to turn power to the DFT-700-M OFF before attaching or detaching the hygrothermo transmitter(hereafter THD-700-P) to/from the DFT-700-M.
• Do not attach or detach the THD-700-P in a wet place or with wet hands because it may cause anelectrical shock.

Caution• Please adjust the sensor type to the DFT-700-M input. If the sensor type does not match the input type,reliable measured values cannot be obtained. The sensor type is written on the cord end along with its
high limit measuring temperature. (e.g.) “K, Pt100”• Reliable measured values cannot be obtained when measuring temperature in a place with an active current.
• The maximum measuring temperature written in the table is the limit temperature of the measuring part.
Use a grip, cord, etc. at ambient temperature (0 to 50 ) except for the measuring part.
Using them in a high temperature atmosphere may cause breakdown or ignition.
• Do not use this in a place with electric noise such as strong magnetic fields, high frequencies:
The DFT-700-M and sensor may breakdown or be damaged.
• Do not use sensors in a place with a corrosive atmosphere such as acid, alkali, because it may hasten
the sensor degradation and be responsible for breakdowns.
• Do not cool down the measuring part quickly by soaking it in water after measuring. That may cause a breakdown.
• Do not drop the sensors or the THD-700-P, strike them with hard objects or press hard on them, as thismay lead to the breakdown or malfunction.
• Use THD-700-P under the conditions specified (for temperature, humidity, atmosphere, etc.).
