Care
a.
Do not attempt to clean this Instrument with the test leads connected to a
power source.
b.
Immediately clean all spilled materials from the Instrument and wipe dry. If
the spillage is corrosive, use a suitable cleaner to neutralize the corrosive
action.
c.
Do not allow the battery to fully discharge. When the batteries reach the end
of their useful life, they should be promptly replaced. Failure to do so may
result in corrosion at the battery contacts due to battery leakage.
d.
Avoid prolonged exposure or usage in areas which are subject to tempera-
ture and humidity extremes, vibration or mechanical shock, dust or corrosive
fumes, or strong electrical or electromagnetic interferences.
e.
Verify Instrument accuracy by performing operational checks using known,
accurate, stable sources. If proper calibration equipment is not available,
contact the nearest Authorized Service Center.
f.
It is recommended that the Instrument be returned annually to the nearest
Authorized Service Center, or to the factory, for an overall check, adjustment,
and calibration.
g.
When not in use, store Instrument in a room free from temperature extremes,
dust, corrosive fumes, and mechanical vibration or shock.
If Instrument is stored more than thirty days, remove batteries.
