1.1.4 Instructions
* Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or battery cover.
* When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.
* Before opening up the instrument, always disconnect from all sources of electric current and make sure
you are not charged with static electricity, which may destroy internal components.
* Any adjustment, maintenance or repair work carried out on the meter while it is live should be carried
out only by appropriately qualified personnel, after having taken into account the instructions in this
present manual.
* A "qualified person" is someone who is familiar with the installation, construction and operation of the
equipment and the hazards involved. He is trained and authorized to energize and de-energize circuits
and equipment in accordance with established practices.
* When the instrument is opened up, remember that some internal capacitors can retain a dangerous
potential even after the instrument is switched off.
* If any faults or abnormalities are observed, take the instrument out of service and ensure that it cannot
be used until it has been checked out.
* If the meter is not going to be used for a long time, take out the battery and do not store the meter in
high temperature or high humidity environment.
Protection mechanisms
* Fused by the resettable fuse (F200mA/250V) during capacitance, mA and hFE measurements.
* A PTC resistor protects against permanent overvoltages of up to 380V during resistance, continuity and
diode test measurements.
