Storage
To prevent mold or mildew, store the SB-500 in a dry, well-ventilated
area. If it is to be placed in storage for 2 weeks or more, remove the
batteries to prevent damage caused by the batteries leaking. Take the
device from storage about once a month and fire it 2 or 3 times to
keep the condenser inside the unit from deteriorating. Do not store
the device with naphtha or camphor moth balls, or in locations that:
• are in the vicinity of equipment that produces strong
electromagnetic fields, or
• are exposed to extremely high temperatures that could cause
product malfunction, such as next to a heater or in an enclosed
vehicle on a hot day
Use
Sudden changes in temperature, such as those that occur when
entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause
condensation inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the
device in a plastic bag or other sealed container before exposing it
to sudden changes in temperature.
Do not use the device in the vicinity of equipment that produces
strong electromagnetic fields, such as transmission towers or high-
voltage power lines. Failure to observe this precaution could cause
product malfunction.
