dusts exist or can occur. Avoid operation in the immediate vici-
nity of
- strong electromagnetic fields (loudspeakers or magnets)
- electromagnetic fields (transformers, motors, coils, relays, etc.)
- electrostatic fields (charge/discharge)
- transmitter antennae
... because otherwise errors in measurement can result. Avoid
operation in very moist and wet surroundings.
• When safe operation is thought no longer possible, the in-
strument should be placed out of service and unintentional
operation prevented! It can be assumed that safe operation is
no longer possible, if the Sound Level Meter
- no longer functions
- shows visible damage
- has been stored for an extended period under adverse con-
ditions, or
- severe transportation stress cannot be ruled out.
• Never operate the Sound Level Meter immediately after it has
been brought from a cold into a warm room. The resulting
condensation water could damage the instrument. Allow the
instrument to reach room temperature.
• Measuring instruments do not belong in the hands of children.
• Use only a soft, damp cloth for external cleaning of the in-
strument. Under no circumstances use solvents or similar for
cleaning.
• The unit may only be operated using a 9V battery exclusively.
Never attempt to power the instrument with a different vol-
tage or with other batteries.

• Do not throw batteries into fires. There is danger of explosion.
• Batteries should not be given to children.
• Batteries should be regarded as waste requiring special hand-
ling and so do not belong with general refuse!
Empty batteries can be disposed of in specialist shops in the
collection containers provided for this purpose.
• Observe correct polarity when installing batteries!
• Do not leave batteries lying about openly because of the dan-
ger that they will be swallowed by children or pets. Seek
immediate medical help should swallowing occur!
• Leaking or damaged batteries can cause irritation when tou-
ched by the skin, therefore suitable protective gloves should
be worn.
• Take care not to short-circuit batteries. There is danger of
explosion.
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries. There is danger of
explosion.

The Sound Level Meter is intended for measuring noise levels of
all possible sound waves up to an intensity of 126dB. It is a tool
for use for example in the measurement of radiated-sound
installations, adjustment of stereo equipment levels, testing of
sound insulation or simple measurement of environmental noise,
etc.
The sound is transmitted via a sensitive microphone in the head
end of the measuring instrument in the form of an electric vol-
