Product Disposal Dispose of the Product in a professional and environmentally sound manner: Delete personal data on the Product before disposal.
27 II/28 II Calibration Information Static Awareness Semiconductors and integrated circuits can be damaged by electrostatic discharge during handling. This notice explains how to minimize damage to these components. 1. Understand the problem. 2. Learn the guidelines for proper handling.
Digital Multimeters Basic Maintenance Replace the Batteries Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury: Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns or explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with water and get medical aid. Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks.
27 II/28 II Calibration Information Replace the Fuses Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, install ONLY specified Table replacement fuses with the amperage, voltage, and speed ratings shown in To examine or replace the Meter fuses, see Figure 1.
Digital Multimeters Performance Tests Performance Tests Warning To prevent electric shock, do not do the performance test procedures unless the Meter is fully assembled. These performance tests verify the complete operation of the Meter and check the accuracy of each Meter function against its specifications. Performance tests should be performed bi- annually to ensure that the Meter is within accuracy specifications.
