Warning:
To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the back
cover and the battery / fuse door is in place and fastened securely.
Note:
If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and batteries
to make sure that they are still good and that they are properly
inserted.
9.2. Statutory Notification about the Battery Regulations
The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example
serve to operate the remote control. There also could be batteries
or accumulators built into the device itself. In connection with the
sale of these batteries or accumulators, we are obliged under the
Battery Regulations to notify our customers of the following:
Please dispose of old batteries at a council collection point or return
them to a local shop at no cost. The disposal in domestic refuse is
strictly forbidden according to the Battery Regulations. You can
return used batteries obtained from us at no charge at the address
on the last side in this manual or by posting with sufficient stamps.
Batteries, which contain harmful substances, are
marked with the symbol of a crossed-out waste bin,
similar to the illustration shown left. Under the
waste bin symbol is the chemical symbol for the
harmful substance, e.g. „Cd“ for cadmium, „Pb“
stands for lead and „Hg“ for mercury.
You can obtain further information about the Battery Regulations
from the Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und
Reaktorsicherheit
(Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature
Conservation and Reactor Safety)
