Thank you for purchasing the MIC-10 insulation tester. Please acquaint yourself with this manual to avoid measuring errors and prevent possible problems related to the operation of the meter. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
1 Safety The MIC-10 meter is designed to determine the safety of electrical wiring, to ensure adequate protection against electric shock. For correct operation and accurate results observe the following recommendations: Before operating the meter acquaint yourself thoroughly with this manual. Observe the safety cautions, warnings, and instructions.

(by pressing ESC button), to recall the last result press ENTER. The latest measurement result can also be viewed after turning the meter off and then turning on, providing the position of the function selector has not been changed. OPERATING MANUAL MIC-10 version 1.1...
The meter switches off automatically. 4.2 Replacing battery/rechargeable batteries MIC-10 Meters are powered by four AA alkaline LR6 batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries. NOTE! Before removing the battery cover disconnect the test leads. To replace the batteries: 1. Disconnect the leads from the measuring circuit and turn off the meter 2.
Do not charge or use batteries in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures reduce the lifetime of batteries. Avoid using devices powered from Ni-MH batteries in very hot environments. The nominal working temperature must be observed. OPERATING MANUAL MIC-10 version 1.1...
Before the equipment is sent to a collection point do not dismantle or disassemble any elements. Observe local regulations concerning the disposal of equipment, and depleted batteries. OPERATING MANUAL MIC-10 version 1.1...
