Preface

This manual serves to explain the use of the Micro 600 DO hand held meter.

This manual functions in two ways: first as a step by step guide to help you
operate the meter; second, as a handy reference guide.

This manual is written to cover as many anticipated applications of the
Micro 600 DO meter as possible. If there are doubts in the use of this meter,
please contact us. Our contact details are on the last page of this manual.

Palintest will not accept any responsibility for damage or malfunction to the
meter caused by improper use of the instrument.

The information presented in this manual is subject to change without notice
as improvements are made. Please refer to our website for the latest version.
