MAINTENANCE WARNING To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any service unless you are qualified to do so. Service If the instrument fails to operate, to check line-power, power cord, fuses and test leads, and replaces them if necessary. If the instrument still can’t work, double check operating procedure as described in this instruction manual.
