2.2. Ensure safety
> Only operate the product properly, for its intended purpose and
within the parameters specified in the technical data. Do not
use any force.
> Dangers may also arise from the systems being measured or
the measuring environment: Note the safety regulations valid in
your area when performing the measurements.
> Do not perform contact measurements on non-insulated, live
parts.
> Do not store the product together with solvents. Do not use any
desiccants.
> Carry out only the maintenance and repair work on this
instrument that is described in the documentation. Follow the
prescribed steps exactly. Use only original spare parts
from Testo.
> Temperatures given on probes relate only to the measuring
range of the sensors. Do not expose handles and feed lines to
temperatures in excess of 40 °C (104 °F), unless they are
expressly permitted for higher temperatures.
> After the final measurement, allow probes and probe shafts to
cool down sufficiently in order to avoid burns from the hot
sensor tip or the probe shaft.
> Improper use of rechargeable batteries can lead to destruction
or injuries by means of current surges, fire or escaping
chemicals. The following instructions must be observed to avoid
such hazards:
• Only use in accordance with the directions in the instruction
manual.
• Do not short, take apart or modify.
• Do not expose to heavy impacts, water, fire or temperatures
above 60 °C.
• Do not store in the proximity of metal objects.
• Do not use leaky or damaged rechargeable batteries. In the
event of contact with battery acid: Thoroughly wash affected
area with water and consult a doctor, if necessary.
• Only charge in the instrument or the recommended charging
station.
• Immediately stop the charging process if this is not
completed in the given time.
