MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack Auto-Ranging LCD Digital Multimeter
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The
following suggestions will help you care for the meter so
that you can enjoy it for years.
• Keep the meter dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immedi-
ately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode
the electronic circuits.
• Use and store the meter only in normal temperature
environments. Temperature extremes can shorten
the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic
parts.
• Handle the meter gently and carefully. Dropping it
can damage the circuit boards and case and can
cause the meter to work improperly.
• Wipe the meter with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
meter.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak
chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
