PART I: Safety and Maintenance

1.1 Safety Information

This device consists of precision electronic components and high-voltage pulser circuits. Please read the following safety instructions carefully before use.
Using an external power supply that does not meet the specifications may result in system circuit damage or fire hazard.
The B3 model features an ultra-lightweight design for portability, but precision internal components may be damaged by strong impact or dropping.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device. Unauthorized disassembly will void the free repair service.
Maintain a dry environment when using the device; using it in high humidity or splashing water poses a risk of short circuits and electric shock.

1.2 Maintenance of the Device

Operating Temperature: Recommended range is 0°C to 60°C. Avoid extreme temperature conditions.
Storage Temperature: Store in an environment between -20°C and 80°C. A cool place away from direct sunlight is recommended.
If the device is not used for more than one month, remove the battery and store it at a state of charge around 50%.
Use the dedicated carrying case to protect the device from external impacts during transportation.

1.3 Cleaning Guide

Screen Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free dry cloth to clean the 7-inch capacitive touchscreen. For severe contamination, use a small amount of alcohol-based dedicated cleaner.
Port Management: Exercise extreme caution to prevent liquids or foreign objects from entering the probe connection ports such as MiniDLP IPEX.
Dust Removal: Regularly remove dust around external input/output ports using a non-contact air spray.
