Care
a.
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.
b.
When Instrument is not in use, rotate the function switch to the +DC position.
c.
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.
d.
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. If the Instrument has not been
used for 30 days, check the batteries for leakage and replace if necessary.
e.
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.
f.
When the Instrument is not in use, store it in a room free from temperature
extremes, dust, corrosive fumes, and mechanical vibration or shock. If stor-
age time is expected to exceed 30 days, remove batteries.
