120 V DC), an acoustic signal is emitted, the red LED comes on and is illuminated in the LC display. 8.3. Single pole phase testing (only testo 755- Single pole phase testing is possible as from AC voltages of approx. 90 V.
When operated in accordance with the instruction manual, the instrument does not require any particular maintenance. If a malfunction occurs during operation, the ongoing measurement should be stopped immediately. Send the instrument to Testo Service for checking. 9.3. Storage Storage areas must be dry.
Dispose of faulty rechargeable batteries/spent batteries in accordance with the valid legal specifications. > At the end of its useful life, send the product to the separate collection for electric and electronic devices (observe local regulations) or return the product to Testo for disposal.
