e) Multimeter
• Do not switch the meter on after it has been taken from a cold to a warm
environment. The condensation that forms might destroy the device. Allow the
device to reach room temperature before switching it on.
• Check that the multimeter is set to the correct function before each measurement.
• To avoid electric shock, do not touch the connections/measuring points directly
or indirectly during measurement. Check the meter for damage before each
measurement. Never carry out any measurements if the protecting insulation is
defective (torn, ripped off etc.)
• Do not use the during thunderstorms.
• Never operate the product in direct proximity of strong magnetic or electromagnetic
fields or transmitter aerials or HF generators. This could affect measurement.
• For accurate measurements, replace the battery when the low battery symbol
appears on the display.
• Pay attention to the information besides the warning signs at the test lead
terminals. The measured voltage or current must not exceed the values shown!
• Never operate the meter when the case is open. !DANGER TO LIFE!
