d) (Rechargeable) batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the (rechargeable) batteries.
• The (rechargeable) batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time
to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged (rechargeable) batteries might cause acid burns
when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted (rechargeable)
batteries.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave (rechargeable) batteries
lying around as there is risk that children or pets swallow them.
• All (rechargeable) batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new (rechargeable)
batteries in the device can lead to (rechargeable) battery leakage and device damage.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
• Never operate the measuring device when it is open. !RISK OF FATAL INJURY!
• Do not leave flat batteries in the device. Even batteries protected against leaking can corrode and thus
release chemicals that may be detrimental to your health or destroy the device.
• Do not leave batteries lying around carelessly. They could be swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed,
consult a doctor immediately.
• Remove the batteries if the device is not used for longer periods of time to prevent leaking.
• Leaking or damaged batteries may cause alkali burns if they come in contact with the skin. Therefore,
use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into the fire.
• Batteries must not be recharged or dismantled. Danger of explosion!
e) Operation
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product is inadmissible for reasons of safety
and approval (CE).
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or the connection of the device.
• Meters and accessories are not toys and must be placed out of the reach of children.
• On industrial sites, accident prevention regulations for electrical equipment and utilities must be followed.
• In schools, training centres, computer and self-help workshops, the handling of meters must be
supervised by trained personnel.
• The voltages indicated in the technical data are nominal and must not be exceeded.
• The voltage between the measuring instrument connection points and earth must never exceed 300 V
DC/AC in CAT III.
• The measuring probes must be removed from the measured object each time the measuring range is
changed.
• Be especially careful when dealing with voltages higher than 50 V AC or 75 V DC. Even at these
voltages, it is possible to receive a fatal electric shock if you touch electrical conductors.
• Check the measuring device and its measuring cables for damage before each measurement. Never
carry out any measurements if the protecting insulation is defective (torn, ripped off, etc.)
