General Safety Information

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may re-
sult in electric shock, fire and/or serious per-
sonal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas may cause accidents.
• Do not operate electrical devices or power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or heavy dust. Electrical
devices or power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

Electrical Safety

• Do not operate the system with electrical compo-
nents removed. Exposure to internal parts increases
the risk of injury.
• Avoid exposure to rain or wet conditions. Keep bat-
tery out of direct contact with water. Water entering
electrical devices increases the risk of electric shock.
• Do not probe high voltage line.

Battery Precautions

• Use only the size and type of battery specified. Do
not mix cell types (e.g. do not use alkaline with
rechargeable). Do not use partly discharged and fully
charged cells together (e.g. do not mix old and new).
• Recharge batteries with charging units specified
by the battery manufacturer. Using an improper
charger can overheat and rupture the battery.
• Properly dispose of the batteries. Exposure to high
temperatures can cause the battery to explode, so
do not dispose of in a fire. Some countries have reg-
ulations concerning battery disposal. Please follow
all applicable regulations.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense. Do not use diagnostic tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medications.
A moment of inattention while operating tools may
result in serious personal injury.

• Gloves should always be worn for health and safe-
ty reasons. Sewer lines are unsanitary and may con-
tain harmful bacteria and viruses.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables bet-
ter control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Use proper accessories. Do not place this product on
any unstable cart or surface. The product may fall
causing serious injury to a child or adult or serious
damage to the product.
• Prevent object and liquid entry. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the product. Liquid increases the risk of
electrical shock and damage to the product.
• Avoid Traffic. Pay close attention to moving vehi-
cles when using on or near roadways. Wear visible
clothing or reflector vests. Such precautions may
prevent serious injury.

NaviTrack II Use and Care

• Use equipment only as directed. Do not operate
the NaviTrack II unless the owner's manual has been
read and proper training has been completed.
• Do not immerse the antennas in water. Store in a
dry place. Such measures reduce the risk of electric
shock and instrument damage.
• Store idle equipment out of the reach of children
and other untrained persons. Equipment is dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain the instrument with care. Properly main-
tained diagnostic instruments are less likely to cause in-
jury.
• Check for breakage of parts, and any other con-
ditions that may affect the NaviTrack II's operation.
If damaged, have the instrument serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for the NaviTrack II. Accessories
that may be suitable for one instrument may become
hazardous when used on another.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the instrument.
• Protect against excessive heat. The product should
be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,
