and turn the meter off.
Safety instructions
Do not operate the meter in the presence of an excessive humidity, toxic or inflammable vapours and in explosive atmosphere. Before
each use check the conditions of the meter and the measurement cables. If any damage is detected, it is prohibited to operate the devi-
ce. Damaged cables must be replaced. In case of any doubts, consult the manufacturer. During measurements keep the measurement
cables and leads by the insulated parts. Do not touch the places of measurement or the sockets of the meter which are not being used.
Before the measured quantity is modified, disconnect the measurement cables. Do not realize any maintenance tasks without making
sure the measurement cables have been disconnected from the meter, and the meter itself has been turned off.
Replacement of the battery
The multimeter is powered with three 1.5 V AAA batteries. It is recommended to use alkaline batteries. In order to install the batteries

must be replaced. For the sake of precision of measurements, it is recommended to replace the battery as soon as possible once the
symbol of battery has been displayed.
Replacement of the fuse
The device is equipped with a fast F250mA/300V (Ø5x20mm) fuse. If the fuse is damaged, it must be replaced with a new one of
the same electrical parameters. To do so, open the housing of the meter and proceed as in the case of replacement of the battery,
observing the safety principles, to replace the fuse.
