Inserting And Changing The Battery; Disposal; A) Product; Batteries And Rechargeable Batteries - VOLTCRAFT VC950 Bedienungsanleitung

e) Inserting and Changing the Battery
The multimeter is operated with four mignon batteries (type AA). You need to insert a new, charged battery before ini-
tial operation or when the battery change symbol appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to insert or change the batteries:
- Disconnect the connected measuring lines from the measuring circuit and the meter. Switch off the DMM.
- Open the casing as described in chapter "Opening the Meter".
- Replace the flat batteries with new one of the same type. Insert the new batteries in the battery compartment (13)
observing the correct polarity. Observe the polarity as indicated in the battery compartment.
- Close the casing again carefully.
Never operate the meter when it is open. !DANGER TO LIFE!
Do not leave flat batteries in the meter. Even batteries protected against leaking can corrode and
thus release chemicals which may be detrimental to your health or destroy the battery compart-
ment.
Do not leave batteries lying around carelessly. They could be swallowed by children or pets. If
swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Remove the batteries if the device is not used for extended periods of time to prevent leaking.
Leaking or damaged batteries may cause alkali burns if they come in contact with the skin. There-
fore, use suitable protective gloves.
Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into fire.
Batteries must not be recharged or dismantled. There is a danger of explosion.
