Safety notes​

warning
  • Do not look directly into the UV light source for long periods.
  • Do not place the device where it may come into contact with water or other liquids.
  • Always unplug the device from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
  • Do not disassemble the device. If repairs are needed, contact a qualified service centre.
  • Do not use the device in places with high temperature or humidity — this may cause it to malfunction.
  • Do not use the device if the USB cable is damaged.
  • Do not place objects on the power cord and do not bend it excessively.
  • If the device is not going to be used for a long time, unplug it from the outlet.

Maintenance​

  • Avoid using the device near strong natural or artificial light sources. Strong light suppresses the UV effect and reduces the visibility of fluorescence on the banknote or document being checked.
  • Do not use the device where it may come into contact with water or other liquids.
  • Dust settling on the UV lamp reduces its brightness. Clean it with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
  • Unplug the device from the outlet before cleaning or replacing the lamp.
  • Do not use the device if the power cord is damaged or the plug is loose. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire or other hazards.
  • If the device is not going to be used for a long time, unplug it from the outlet.
