When servicing the Meter, use only the same model
number or identical electrical specifications
replacement parts.
The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be altered
at will to avoid damage of the Meter and any accident.
Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to
clean the surface of the Meter when servicing. No
abrasive and solvent should be used to prevent the
surface of the Meter from corrosion, damage and
accident.
The Meter is suitable for indoor use.
Turn the Meter power off when it is not in use and
take out the battery when not using for a long time.
Please constantly check the battery as it may leak
when it has been using for some time, replace the
battery as soon as leaking appears.  A leaking battery
will damage the Meter.
