1. Precautions for Safe Use
Carefully read and obey the following items to prevent injury to yourself or to others
and to prevent damaging property.
Precautions for Reader/Writer Setup
1. Setup the reader/writer in a solid, and level location. Do not physically jar or shake
the reader/writer.
This can damage it or lead to injury.
2. Place the reader/writer in a location out of the reach of children.
Allowing children to touch the reader/writer can lead to injury.
3. Do not use or place the reader/writer in areas exposed to direct sunlight, or in high
temperatures areas such as next to fire or electric or kerosene heaters.
Exposing the reader/writer to excessive heat will cause it to become hot and break-
down, mis-operate or become burned.
4. Avoid using or storing the reader/writer in locations where liquids such as water or oils
can enter the internal reader/writer mechanisms, or in areas of high humidity.
Exposing the reader/writer to excessive moisture will cause it to become hot and can
cause electric shock, mis-operate or reader/writer failure.
5. Avoid using or storing the reader/writer in locations where dust or metallic powder can
enter the internal reader/writer mechanisms.
Exposing the reader/writer to excessive dust will cause it to become hot and can
cause electric shock, mis-operate or reader/writer failure.
6. Avoid using the reader/writer in locations where corrosive gases, ignition gases, chemi-
cals or vapors are emitted.
Exposing the reader/writer to vapors will cause it to become hot, burn, cause electric
shock, or cause reader/writer failure.
7. Avoid using near objects that emit a magnetic field.
Magnetic fields can erase the information recorded on cards.
8. Use the appropriate power conditions for the TCP300 series.
The wrong type of power will cause the reader/writer to become hot and can cause
mis-operate or reader/writer failure.
9. Use an outlet that can easily be connected to and disconnected from.
10. Do not get power from a circuit to which electrical devices that generate electrical
noise are connected.
Using the same circuit can cause the reader/writer to mis-operate or can cause reader/
writer failure.
11. Allow plenty of space around the reader/writer for ventilation of heat and operation.
Not enough space will cause the reader/writer to become hot and can cause mis-
operate or reader/writer failure.
Always observe the following items.
