Check the meter and its measuring lines for damage before each measurement. Never carry out any
measurements if the protecting insulation is defective (torn, ripped off etc.).
Make sure not to touch the connections/measuring points to be measured directly or indirectly during
measurement. Never reach beyond the noticeable grip area marks at the measuring prods during
measurements.
Avoid operation in direct proximity of strong magnetic or electromagnetic
fi
elds, transmitter aerials or
HF generators. This could affect the measurement.
If you have reason to believe that the device can no longer be operated safely, disconnect it imme-
diately and make sure it is not unintentionally operated. It can be assumed that safe operation is no
longer possible if:
- the device shows any visible damage,
- the device no longer works and
- the device was stored under unfavourable conditions for an extended period of time or
- after it was exposed to extraordinary stress caused by transport.
Do not switch the meter on immediately after it was taken from a cold to a warm environment. The
condensation that forms might destroy your device. Allow the device to reach room temperature before
switching it on.
Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly since such materials can become danger-
ous toys in the hands of children.
Also observe the safety information in each chapter of these instructions.
