• Do not use the multimeter just before, during or just after a thunderstorm (lightning!
/ high-energy overvoltage!). Make sure that your hands, shoes, clothing, the floor,
circuits and circuit components are dry.
• Avoid operating the product near:
- strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields
- transmitter aerials or HF generators.
This could affect the measurement.
• Do not switch the meter on immediately after it was taken from a cold to a warm
environment. The condensation that forms might destroy your device.
• Allow the device to reach room temperature before switching it on.
Batteries / Rechargeable batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
• Batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time to
avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns
when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted
batteries.
• Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying around,
as there is risk, that children or pets swallow it.
• All the batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in
the device can lead to battery leakage and device damage.
• Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
Miscellaneous
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.
