Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates
normally to ensure that the no damage occurred during storage
or shipping. If you find any damage, contact your dealer or Hioki
representative.
Preliminary Checks
Before using the instrument, make sure that
the insulation on the test leads is undam-
aged and that no bare conductors are
improperly exposed. Using the instrument in
such conditions could cause an electric
shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki repre-
sentative for replacements. (Model 9465-10)
Handling the Instrument
To avoid electric shock, do not remove the
instrument's case. The internal components
of the instrument carry high voltages and
may become very hot during operation.
To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from
physical shock when transporting and handling.
Be especially careful to avoid physical shock from
dropping.
• To avoid corrosion from battery leakage and
problems with battery operation, remove the bat-
teries from the instrument if it is to be stored for a
long time.
• After use, turn OFF the power.
