CARE OF YOUR METER

To keep your meter in good working order:

h

Store your meter in a clean, dry place. The protective

carrying case provided is an ideal storage place when the
meter is not in use.

h

Change the 9-Volt battery as needed. Continued use with a

low battery may cause the meter to go out of calibration.

h

Change contact pins as needed. Keep contact pins hand

tightened.

h

Clean the meter and contact pins with any biodegradable

cleaner. Use the cleaner sparingly and on external parts
only. Keep cleaner out of the external connector 

%

.

h

Remove the battery if the meter will not be used for one

month or longer.
