7. Maintaining of the device
Your digital multimeter is a precise electronic device. Do not
tamper with circuit. To prevent electric shock hazard, turn off the
meter and disconnect test leads before removing the back cover.
Any adjustments, maintenance or repair of the instruments,
except battery and fuse replacement, should be done by qualified
individuals.
* Keep your meter dry. If it does get wet, wipe it immediately.
Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic
circuits.
* Use and store your meter only in normal temperature
environments. Extreme temperature can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage battery and distort or melt plastic
part.
* Handle your meter gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cause the meter to work improperly.
* Keep your meter away from dusts and dirt which can cause
premature wear of parts.
* Wipe out meter with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong
detergents for cleaning the meter.
* Use only a brand new battery of the same size and type. Always
remove an old or weak battery. It can leak chemicals that
destroy electronics circuits.
Warning!
Modifying or tampering with your meter’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.
