2.使用上の注意

2.1 操作前の注意事項

2.1.1 環境の準備

Before taking a measurement, allow the device and the sample to be measured to sit in the same environment for at least 30 minutes to ensure their temperatures are consistent. The measurement environment must be free from direct strong light and stray light interference. Avoid operating in environments with high temperatures, high humidity, or high dust levels. The ambient temperature should ideally be maintained between 10°C and 35°C, with relative humidity ≤80%(no condensation).

2.1.2 サンプルの準備

The surface of the sample being tested must be flat, clean, free of stains, and free of scratches. If the sample is a powder or liquid, it must be placed in a special sample dish to ensure that the sample surface completely fills the measurement aperture without any gaps; Select an appropriate measurement aperture based on the shape of the sample. Ensure that the measurement end fits snugly against the sample’s measurement area to prevent light leakage.

2.1.3 設備検査

Before turning on the device, check the measurement port for dust or dirt and ensure that the buttons and ports are functioning properly. After turning on the device, check that the battery is sufficiently charged (if the battery is low, charge it first to avoid a power outage during measurement).

2.2使用上の注意

2.2.1 測定手順

When taking a measurement, position the device’s sensor perpendicular to and in close contact with the sample surface to avoid tilting or light leakage. After pressing the confirmation button, keep the device still until the measurement is complete (1 second); do not move the device during the measurement process. It is recommended to take 3–5 measurements of the same sample and use the average as the final result to minimize measurement errors.

2.2.2 Functional Operation Specifications

Do not force a shutdown or disconnect the USB cable during the device’s self-test, calibration, or measurement processes. When switching measurement parameters, wait until the display has finished loading before proceeding to the next step. If you need to export saved measurement data, ensure the connection is established before shutting down the device to prevent data loss.

2.2.3 Contraindications for Equipment Use

Do not touch the optical components inside the measurement port with your hands, and do not point the measurement end toward a strong light source. Since this is a handheld device, do not drop, bump, or crush it, and avoid exposing the body to water or other liquids.

2.3 Power Supply and Battery Safety

The built-in lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 3000mAh and is compatible only with the standard charger. Please note: Using a non-standard charger—especially a high-current fast-charging power adapter—can easily damage the battery.

Do not use the device for extended periods when the battery level is below 15%; do not charge the battery after it has been severely discharged, to avoid shortening its lifespan.

Ensure the area is well-ventilated while charging, keep the charger away from flammable materials, and unplug it promptly after charging is complete.

If the device will not be used for an extended period, fully charge it first, and then top it off every three months to prevent the battery from becoming damaged due to discharge.

2.4安全上の警告

本機の内部部品を分解したり交換したりしないでください。故障が発生した場合は、公式カスタマーサービスまたは正規販売店にご連絡ください。無許可で分解すると保証が無効になります。

If liquid, dust, or other substances enter the device, immediately turn off the power, unplug the charging cable, and contact customer service right away. Do not continue to use the device;

If equipment and accessories (such as measuring gauges) are accidentally swallowed by children, they may pose a risk of choking or other hazards; therefore, the equipment must be kept out of the reach of children;

Do not place the device near heat sources, open flames, or in high-temperature environments to prevent the battery from swelling and damage to the device’s components.

3. 機器の操作

3.1 機器の校正

The device must be recalibrated when used for the first time or after being idle for more than 8 hours. Before turning on the device, place it on the calibration whiteboard base; once powered on, the device will automatically perform a white calibration.

6. 機器の日常的なメンテナンスと手入れ

6.1クリーニングとメンテナンス

6.1.1 Cleaning the Body and Display

Body Surface: Wipe off dust and stains from the body with a clean, soft cloth. For stubborn stains, lightly wipe the area with a small amount of water. Do not use detergents or other corrosive liquids;

Display: Gently wipe the screen with a dedicated screen-cleaning cloth to avoid scratching it. Do not touch the display directly with your fingers. If dust gets on the screen, gently brush it away with a lint-free brush.

6.1.2 Cleaning the Calibration Plate

The calibration plate is a standard accessory; surface wear or stains will affect calibration accuracy: Gently wipe the surface of the calibration plate with a lint-free cloth; if there are stubborn stains on the surface of the calibration plate, contact customer service promptly to have it replaced. Do not sand or repair the calibration plate yourself.

6.2バッテリーのメンテナンス

6.2.1 充電とメンテナンス

Use the USB cable that came with the device. Avoid charging the device in high-temperature environments, and unplug the cable immediately after charging is complete to prevent overcharging. Charge the device promptly when the battery level falls below 15% to avoid deep discharge of the lithium battery, which can shorten its lifespan.

6.2.2 Battery Life Maintenance

The device’s built-in lithium-ion battery is rechargeable; under normal use, a single charge allows for 10000 consecutive measurements;

When the device is not in use for an extended period, ensure the battery charge remains between 50% and 80%. Recharge the battery once every three months to restore the charge to between 50% and 80%, thereby preventing the battery from becoming deeply discharged or swelling;

If the battery shows signs of swelling, leakage, or a significant decrease in battery life, stop using it immediately and contact us for repair.

よくある問題のトラブルシューティングと解決

障害症状	考えられる原因	手順
Unable to Power On	低バッテリー	Please use the dedicated USB cable to charge the device; if it still won’t turn on after charging, please contact us for repair.
Battery life has deteriorated	Battery degradation, excessive ambient temperature	Contact us for repairs; using the device in high-temperature environments causes the battery to drain quickly—please use it in a normal environment.
Significant Errors in Measurement Data	Failure to perform white and black calibration promptly and accurately; contamination of the calibration white plate; errors in the measurement of reference standards; contamination of the measurement aperture	Perform white and black calibration correctly; clean or replace the calibration white plate; remeasure the reference samples; clean the inside of the test ports with a lint-free brush; if the test ports show signs of physical damage, please contact us for repair.
