2. Safety warnings

Please review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent

damage to the Optical interface unit and Propshaft balancing equipment.

A WARNING identies conditions or practices that could result in injury or

death.

A CAUTION identies conditions or practices that could result in damage to

driving the vehicle. Take a passenger with you to operate the

software.

CAUTION

To avoid entrapment take care to route any cables away from moving

parts when using the propshaft balancing accessories.

To avoid melting of cables take care to route them away from hot

engine components when using this product.

To conserve battery life do not store the Optical sensor interface

with a sensor connected. The interface is powered on whenever the

sensor is connected.

Do not apply a voltage to the BNC or 3.5 mm jack connector on the

Optical sensor interface. The BNC connector is an output only.

Strong magnetic elds can damage sensitive electronic devices and

magnetic material such as credit cards or portable storage media.

Your help and eorts are required to protect and keep our

environment clean. Therefore either return this product at the end

of life to the manufacturer or ensure WEEE compliant collection
