afety arnings
The user must keep the following safety
regulations when operating the device:
Protect yourself from electronic shock!
•
Protect the device from damage resulting from
•
improper use!
Before using the supplied accessories (wires,
capsule) make sure they are in proper condition!
In use
If you are using the the device near another
•
device that generates interference, you need
to consider the fact that the device can show
faulty results or nothing at all.
Never use faulty wires!
•
Only use the device for functions described
•
in the user manual! Using the device for
improper tasks does not guarantee continued
proper functioning.
Never use the device near explosive or
•
flammable gases or powder!
Before measuring, make sure the device is
•
in proper measuring position and that the
measuring wires are connecting properly. Do
this before every measuring!
If the measuring result is unknown, always
•
start measuring in the highest threshold range
and move backwards from that.
To protect the device, never exceed the
•
maximal inward values!
Be careful when measuring over 60V DC or 30V
•
AC! These voltages may cause electric shock.
When using a measuring probe, make sure
•
that your fingers are not touching the metal
surface and are behind the finger-protection
at all times.
When switching between the measuring
•
modes or levels remove the measuring wires
from the vicinity of the measured object or
circuit.
When measuring resistance, continuity or
•
diodes make sure that the device is not
connected to a circuit under power, or all high
capacity capacitors are discharged.
Before measuring current power, make
•
sure the device is not under power before
connecting it to the circuit.
If the ‚low battery' icon is lit on the display,
•
replace the batteries.

•
circuit and the device before opening the
device
If you experience any abnormal phenomena
•
during the operation of the device, stop
measuring and turn off the device.
If the device is not being used for a long
•
time, take out the batteries and make sure
not to store the device in a place with high
temperatures or humidity.
To avoid fire and other damage the fuse
•
should be replaced to one with the exact same
parameters: F 500mA/250V, F 10A/600V.
Do not use the device if the battery cover on
•
the back side is removed or not in its proper
place!
