Care

Attempting to calibrate the meter yourself
might result in inaccurate measurements.

ˆ

Care

Your RadioShack Digital Sound Level
Meter is an example of superior design
and craftsmanship. The following sugges-
tions will help you care for the meter so
you can enjoy it for years.

• Keep  the meter dry. If it gets wet,

wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode
electronic circuits.

• Use and store the meter only in nor-

mal temperature environments. Tem-
perature extremes can shorten the
life of electronic devices and distort or
melt plastic parts.

• Handle the meter gently and care-

fully. Dropping it can damage the cir-
cuit boards and cause the meter to
work improperly.

• Keep the meter away from dust and

dirt, which can cause premature wear
of parts.
