If this tester should fail to operate correctly, return it to your distributor stating 

the exact nature of the fault. Before returning the instrument ensure that:-

1

The leads have been checked for continuity and signs of damage.

2

 The continuity mode fuse (situated in the battery compartment) has been 

checked.

3

The batteries are in good condition.

Please remember to give all the information possible concerning the nature of 

the fault, as this will mean that the instrument will be serviced and returned to 

you more quickly.
