The Gold Karat Tester should be handled with care. 

Always cover it or place it securely in its custom carrying 

case when the device is not in use. Caution should be 

taken so as not to damage the device. 

Always exercise good practical common sense and ensure 

to read this User Handbook for caution and tips on how best 

to use this device.

The Gold Karat Tester device is a product of extensive 

design and craftsmanship. Please treat it with care.

GENERAL CARE NOTICE 

•  Keep  the  tester  dry.  Precipitation,  humidity,  and  all 

types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that 

will corrode electronic circuits. If your tester does get 

wet, remove the battery, and allow the tester to dry 

completely before replacing it. 

•  Do  not  use  or  store  the  tester  in  dusty,  dirty  areas. 

Its moving parts and electronic components can be 

damaged.

•  Do not store the tester in hot areas. High temperatures 

can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage 

batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics

•  Do not store the tester in cold areas. When the tester 

returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form 

inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.

•  Do  not  attempt  to  open  the  tester  other  than  as 

instructed in this handbook

•  Do  not  drop,  knock,  or  shake  the  tester.  Rough 

handling  can  break  internal  circuit  boards  and  fine 

mechanics.

•  Do  not  use  harsh  chemicals,  cleaning  solvents,  or 

strong detergents to clean the tester.

•  Do not paint the tester. Paint can clog the moving parts 

and prevent proper operation. 

•  If the tester is not working properly, kindly contact our 

Customer Service at
