• When operating on commercial premises, the relevant accident prevention
regulations of workers’ compensation boards for electrical equipment must be
observed.
• The ambient conditions (such as high humidity or proximity to other electrical
appliances) may affect the accuracy of the product. The composition and condition
of walls (e.g. moisture, metallic building materials, conductive wallpapers,
insulation materials and tiles) and the number, type, size and position of measured
objects may distort the readings.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the
device.
•
Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an
expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) Batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the battery.
• The battery should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of
time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause
acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to
handle corrupted batteries.
• Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying
around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow them.
•
Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never
recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
