    Maintenance WARNING: Do not perform any service by yourself. Service should only be done by qualified personnel and trained technicians. WARNING: Beware of liquid and residues, especially conductive matter. Service If the instrument fails to power on, first check battery, external source and power sockets and the validity of buttons.

    test slots. See operation manual for information of correct operation. Do not replace components. Contact the after-sale department of our company or relevant distributors for uncertain maintenance. The meter must be turned off or removed from external power before replacing battery. See Installing Battery section for details.
  • Page 97 To clean the meter, wipe the dirty parts with a soft cloth soaked with diluted neutral detergent. Avoid having the instrument too wet to prevent the detergent from penetrating into the inside components of the meter, causing damages. After cleaning, make sure the instrument is completely dried before operating it again.
