7.1 Troubleshooting
If damage occurs to the hard disk or MO disk, we cannot restore or analyze the
lost data. We therefore recommend maintaining a backup of any important data.
If damage is suspected, check the "Troubleshooting" section before contacting
your dealer or Hioki representative.
Transporting
• Pack the instrument so that it will not sustain damage during shipping, and
include a description of existing damage. We cannot accept responsibility for
damage incurred during shipping.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, be sure to remove the PC cards before
shipping.
Replaceable Parts

(Useful life depends on the operating environment and frequency of use. Opera-
tion cannot be guaranteed beyond the following periods)

should be replaced periodically.)

and the real-time clock. Have the battery replaced if the date and time
are found to lag substantially or if settings are not retained when
