Rechargeable) Batteries - VOLTCRAFT VC-590OLED SE Mode D'emploi

• Exercise extreme caution when handling voltages >33 V/AC or >70 V/DC! Even
at such voltages you can receive a life-threatening electric shock upon contact
with electric wires.
• To prevent electric shock, make sure not to touch the connections/measuring
points to be measured directly or indirectly during measurement. During the
measurement, you must not reach beyond the textured grip area markings to
touch the test probes and the meter.
• Always check the multimeter and test leads for damage(s) before each
measurement. Never conduct measurements if the protective insulation is
damaged (torn, missing, etc.). The included test leads feature a wear indicator.
If damaged, a second insulating layer of a different color becomes visible. In this
case, cease use of and replace the equipment immediately.
• Do not use the multimeter immediately prior to, during or just after a thunderstorm
(chance of lightning! / high-energy overvoltages!). Please make sure that your
hands, shoes, clothing, the floor, switches, switching components, etc. are dry.
• Avoid use in the direct vicinity of:
- strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields
- transmitting antennas or high-frequency generators.
Failure to do so may falsify readings.
• Never switch on the multimeter immediately after it has been taken from a cold
to a warm environment. The condensation generated could destroy the product.
Leave the device turned off until it has reached room temperature.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the
device.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an
expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) (Rechargeable) batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the (rechargeable) batteries.
• (Rechargeable) 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
(rechargeable) batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted (rechargeable)
batteries.
