Transport and Storage
Please keep the original packaging for later transport, e.g. for calibrati-
on. Any transport damage due to faulty packaging will be excluded from
warranty claims.
In order to avoid instrument damage, it is advised to remove accumu-
lators when not using the instrument over a certain time period. Howe-
ver, should the instrument be contaminated by leaking battery cells, you
are kindly requested to return it to the factory for cleaning and inspec-
tion.
Instruments must be stored in dry and closed areas. In the case of an
instrument being transported in extreme temperatures, a recovery time
of minimum 2 hours is required prior to instrument operation.

Safety Measures
The respective accident prevention regulations established by the
professional associations are to be strictly enforced at all times
Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical installations
are only to be executed when instructed by a responsible electri-
cal specialist, and never alone.
Never try to disassemble battery cells !The battery contains
highly alkaline electrolyte. Danger of causticization ! If electroly-
te gets in contact with skin or clothing, rinse immediately with
water. If electrolyte gets in contact with the eyes, immediately
flush by using pure water and consult a doctor.

Never try to short-circuit both battery cell poles by using, e.g. a
wire. The resulting short-circuit current is very high and causes
extreme heat. Danger of fire or explosion.
Never throw battery cells into a fire as this could cause an explo-
sion.
When replacing or changing the battery, make certain of correct
polarity.
