Test instruments may only be used within the specified
measurement ranges.
Avoid any heating up of the instrument by direct sun-
light to ensure perfect functioning and long instrument
life.
Never try to disassemble battery cells !The battery contains
highly alkaline electrolyte. Danger of causticization ! If elec-
trolyte gets in contact with skin or clothing, rinse immedi-
ately with water. If electrolyte gets in contact with the eyes,
immediately flush by using pure water and consult a doc-
tor.
Never try to make contact between both battery cell poles,
for example by using a wire connection. The resulting short-
circuit current is very high and causes extreme heat. Dan-
ger of fire and explosion !
Never throw battery cells into a fire as this could cause
an explosion.
Never expose batteries or accumulators to humidity.
When replacing or changing the battery, make certain
of correct polarity.
Never use different battery types simultaneously. The
mixed usage of old an new dry cells as well as using
different types or sizes could cause damage to the bat-
tery itself and/or to the instrument.
