2. General Maintenance
2.1. Introduction
This provides handling, cleaning, battery replacement, disassembly,
and assembly instructions.
2.2. Warranty Repairs and Shipping Information
If your meter is still under warranty, see the warranty information at the
front of this manual for instructions on returning the unit.
2.3. Static Safe Handling
Observe the following rules for handling static-sensitive devices:
1. Handle all static-sensitive components at a static-safe work area.
Use grounded static control table mats on all repair benches, and
always wear a grounded wrist strap. Handle boards by their
nonconductive edges only. Store plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam
objects outside the work area.
2. Store and transport all static-sensitive components and assemblies
in static shielding bags or containers.
Static shielding bags and containers protect components and
assemblies from direct static discharge and external static fields.
Store components in their original packages until they are ready for
use.
2.4. Cleaning
Warning
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the meter, never allow
water inside the case. To avoid damaging the meter’s housing,
never apply solvents to the meter.
If the meter requires cleaning, wipe it down with a cloth that is lightly
dampened with water or a mild detergent. Do not use aromatic
hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, or methanol-based fluids when
wiping the meter.
