1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community
Directives: 2004/108/EG (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2006/95/EG (Low
Voltage) as amended by 2004/22/EG (CE-Marking).
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious
injury due to short-circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be
observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt
from any legal claims whatever.
* Prior to connection of the equipment to the mains outlet, check that the
available mains voltage corresponds to the voltage setting of the equipment.
* Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious
injury and/or destruction of the equipment).
* Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating. Never short-
circuit fuse or fuse holding.
* Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before
connection to the equipment.
* Please use only 4mm-safety test leads to ensure immaculate function.
* To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp
conditions. Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes,
i. e. on isolating mats.
* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
* The measurement instrument is not to be to operated unattended.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures,
humidity or dampness.
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors,
transformers etc.).
* Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
* Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up
measurement (important for exact measurements).
* Use caution when working with voltages above 35V DC or 25V AC. These
Voltages pose shock hazard.
* Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not
use abrasives or solvents.
* The meter is suitable for indoor use only
* Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and screwed
safely as terminal can carry voltage.

* Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.
* Do not modify the equipment in any way
* Do not place the equipment face-down on any table or work bench to
prevent damaging the controls at the front.
* Opening the equipment and service – and repair work must only be
performed by qualified service personnel
* Measuring instruments don't belong to children hands.
