6. Troubleshooting
PRECAUTION
1. CHECK GROUNDING BEFORE CHECKING FOR TROUBLE.
2. BE CAREFUL OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT.
3. DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR.
4. WHEN CHECKING THE CONTINUITY OF THE SWITCHES OR TRANSFORMER, DISCONNECT ONE LEAD WIRE
FROM THESE PARTS AND THEN CHECK CONTINUITY WITHOUT THE POWER SOURCE ON. TO DO
OTHERWISE MAY RESULT IN A FALSE READING OR DAMAGE TO YOUR METER.
5. DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE CIRCUIT OR THE CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD, SINCE STATIC
DISCHARGE MAY DAMAGE IT. ALWAYS TOUCH GROUND WHILE WORKING ON IT TO DISCHARGE ANY
STATIC CHARGE BUILT UP.
