Only use the device for its intended purpose. Using the device in
an unauthorized way will void the warranty. Damage caused by
disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by
the warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility for any
ensuing defects or problems.
Before performing any maintenance activities, disconnect the test leads
from the jacks.
For instructions on replacing battery or fuse, refer to 15. Battery
replacement.
Do not apply abrasives or solvents to the meter. Use a damp cloth and
mild detergent for cleaning purposes.
5. During Use
Never exceed the limit value for protection. This limit value is listed
separately in the specifications for each range of measurement.
Do not touch unused terminals when the meter is linked to a circuit
which is being tested.
Set the range selector at its highest position if the intensity of the
charge to be measured is unknown beforehand.
Disconnect the test leads from the tested circuit before rotating the
range selector in order to change functions.
When carrying out measurements on a TV set or switching power
circuits, always remember that the meter may be damaged by any high
amplitude voltage pulses at test points.
Always be careful when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms.
Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers at all times during measurement.
Never perform resistance, diode or continuity measurements on live
circuits. Make sure all capacitors in the circuit are depleted.
