MIC-10 meter is a modern, easy and safe measuring device. Please acquaint yourself with the present manual in order to avoid measuring errors and prevent possible problems related to operation of the meter. OPERATING MANUAL MIC-10 version 1.02...
1 Safety MIC-10 meter is designed for performing check tests of protection against electric shock in mains systems. The meter is used for making measurements and providing results to determine safety of electrical installations. Therefore, in order to provide conditions for correct operation and the correctness of the obtained results, the following recommendations must be observed: •...

The meter switches off automatically. 4.2 Replacing battery/rechargeable batteries MIC-10 Meters are powered by four AA alkaline LR6 batteries or rechargeable batteries of NiMH type. NOTE! Before removing the battery cover, disconnect the test leads. To replace the batteries/ rechargeable batteries: 1.
- Do not charge or use rechargeable batteries in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures reduce the lifetime of batteries and rechargeable batteries . Avoid placing devices powered by rechargeable batteries in very hot environments. The nominal working temperature must be absolutely observed. OPERATING MANUAL MIC-10 version 1.02...
Used electronic equipment should be sent to a collection point in accordance with the Used Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act. Before the equipment is sent to a collection point, do not dismantle any elements. Observe the local regulations concerning disposal of packages and used batteries/rechargeable batteries.
