5) MAINTENANCE

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads from
the input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate with open
case. Install only the same type of fuse or equivalent

Calibration

Periodic calibration at intervals of one year is recommended to maintain meter accuracy.
Accuracy is specified for a period of one year after calibration.

If self-diagnostic message “

rE-O

” is being displayed while powering on, the meter is re-

organizing internal parameters. Do not switch off the meter, and it will be back to normal
measurement shortly. However, if self-diagnostic message “

C_Er

” is being displayed while

powering on, some meter ranges might be largely out of specifications. To avoid mis-leading
measurements, stop using the meter and send it for re-calibration. Refer to the LIMITED
WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or repairing service.
