Micronta 22-195A - METER MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY; Meter Care and Protection; Operational Safety Rules

MAINTENANCE
Your Digital Multimeter is a precision ,electron-
ic device. Do not touch any of the circuitry
inside the case. Do not expose to extreme
temperatures below — 4?F (— 20°C) or above
140°F (60°C); protect from extremely humid
areas.
To avoid damage to the meter:
A. Never connect more than 1000 volts DC
or 750 volts RMS AC.
B. Never connect to a source of voltage when
any of the kQ, CONTinuity or -> diode check
function switches are pressed in.
C. Never operate unless the battery cover is
in place and fully closed.
D. Battery and/or fuse replacements should
only be performed after the test leads have
been removed and the POWER has been
turned OFF.
The MICRONTA® digital multimeter comes
fully calibrated and tested. Under normal use,
no further adjustment should be necessary. In
case the meter should require repair, do NOT
attempt to service it yourself; bring it to your
nearest Radio Shack store. SERVICE BY UN-
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY.
A Word About Safety
Every precaution has been taken in the design
of your meter to ensure that it is as safe as
we can make it. However, safe operation
depends on you, the operator. We recom-
mend that you follow these simple safety
rules:
1. Never apply voltages to the meter which
exceed the maximum rated limits given in the
specifications. Never apply more than 1000V
DC or 750V RMS AC between the input jacks
and/or ground.
2. Use extreme caution when working with
voltages above 100V. Always disconnect
power from the circuit under test before
attempting to connect the test leads to high-
voltage points.
3. Always discharge all filter capacitors
before attaching the test leads to a power
supply circuit.
4. Since many AC-DC appliances have a
potentially "hot" chassis, ensure that the top
of your workbench and the floor underneath it
is made of non-conductive materials.
