• These safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel
and proper operation of the instrument.
• Do not attempt to perform any tests with this instrument until you have
read the instruction manual.
• Tests are to be carried out on non-live and de-energized circuits only!
• The micro-ohmmeter should never be used in an explosive
environment (this includes poorly ventilated battery rooms and
enclosures).
• Make sure the internal battery is fully charged prior to testing. If the
instrument has been unused for several months, recharge the battery.
• We recommend recharging the micro-ohmmeter every month to
ensure a full battery charge when used.
• Only install fuses which are direct replacements.
• If the case needs cleaning, do not use any alcohol or oil based
